  1. The Old Cures for Warts

    Share Share Post
    The old cure for warts.
    The old way wards are cured is get a black snail and rub him three times to the warts and stick him on a thorn and according as the snail reduces the wart fades away. Another way is to get a little bag of stones and leave them on the road and if any person takes the bag in his hands they get the warts.
