  2. Cures for Warts

    Share Share Post
    On a Sunday if possible the sufferer goes to an old quarry and if by luck the sufferer gets a hole in a rock and water in it, he or she may put the wart into the hole in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
    It is expected to be cured in two days.

    The sufferer must rub the warts with his fasting spittle in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost for nine consecutive mornings. The warts are said to be cured inside twelve days.
    This cure was told to me by Bridgid Harkin Convoy yesterday.
