    Get a black snail in a meadow and rub him to the warts. Then stick him on a whitethorn bush and according as he is withering the wart withers too.

  3. Local Cures - Diarrhoea

    Share Share Post
    To cure diarrhoea a person should go to three wells without speaking to anyone and not to let the bottle touch the ground once. At each well he should get some of the water and bring it home to the invalid. The latter should drink the water which was believed to cure.
