- In the olden times before there was any doctors the old people had quack doctors.
For a wart they used to get a snail and rub it along and stick it in a thorny bush and when the snail will die the wart will die. For a head ache they used to cure with tea leaves. When they had a deep cut they used to cure with rib grass and butter.- Collector
