  1. Local Cures - Warts

    Share Share Post
    If you have warts count them and for every wart, put a stone in a bag and leave it at a cross-roads. If another person takes this bag up he will get as many warts as there were stones in the bag.
    Again if a person suffering from warts dips his hand in forge water and says "Glory be to the Father" three times, after a time the warts will disappear.
    I was also told if you squeeze the milky juice out of a dandelion on them that it will cure them.
