  2. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    It is said that if a person has a toothache and if he licks a frog the toothache will be cured.
    A cure for warts is to rub the milky juice of the Dandelion on the warts.
    Another cure for warts is rub a slug on the warts and stick the slug or barbed wire. When the slug withers the warts will be cured.
