SNAILS FOR WARTS
`You may like to know that another "cure" for warts is related to the snail, the black variety (if there is such a thing),' says a reader who lives in Birkenhead. 'A man whom I know in Ireland told me that he had "a handful of warts" cured by rubbing a snail on the warts. I myself had seen his hand when it had many warts on it. As far as I can remember, the snail should be found on a "fresh," not too dry day. It should be the black snail. I think it is the underside of the snail which should be rubbed on the warts. Perhaps the secret of the cure lies in some acid or other substance on the snail's body, because there certainly is some curative property in it. The proof is in the fact that not long after my friend had used the snail on his warts they began to disappear. When I next saw his hand it was "as smooth as silk" with not a wart in sight!'
