  1. If you cut a turnip in the middle and bore a hole in one part then put salt in it and rub it on the warts.
    Another cure for warts is if you find a drop of water in a hole in a stone without looking for it and wash the wart in it.
    A cure for the whooping cough is to drink ass's milk or Ferret's leavings or to go in under a young ass three times.
