  1. A Cure for Warts

    Share Share Post
    Pull ten rushes from the roots, throw away one, and rub each of the nine on the warts. Saying "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." Then bury the rushes in some wet place such as a manure heap. Repeat this three times on Monday, Thursday, and Monday again. Bury all rushes. As soon as the rushes begin to rot the warts will wither.
