Seven Ways of Curning Warts
Any of the following-named remedies, says the Boston Globe will effectually cure warts and permanently remove them. 1. Moisten the warts and rub salammoniac well on them night and morning. A fortnight's application will invariably suffice. 2. Rub the warts with bullock's gall two or three times a day. 3. Expose a piece of potash to the air until it slacks ; make a paste by adding powdered gum arabic and apply to the warts. 4. Pare the warts and apply a small drop of acetic acid, using great care. Repeat once or twice daily, occasionally paring the wart, which will soon be cured. 5. Touch the wart with vinegar and cover with cooking soda or saleratus ; let it remaiii ten minutes, and repeat several times during the day. 6. Wrap in a cloth with a diluted tincture of thuja. Forty-eigkt hours later pull out by the roots — a painless operation. 7. Rub till they are green with bean leaves and they will disappear after a few applications.
