- (continued from previous page)that it was a cure for burns.
Thrush:- The old people used say a child who has never seen his father is supposed to cure the thrush if the person, before his breakfast will breathe three times into the child's mouth. - Warts:- Another cure for warts was to cut the wart with a horse's hair.
Another cure for warts was a snail it should not be looked for, the snail was rubbed to the wart.
The old people said if you wanted to remove warts, to put a notch on an elder twig, and then throw it away. Whosoever would be so unlucky as to find the twig was supposed to get the wart.- Collector
