Cure Warts

The easiest way to get rid of Warts is to pare off the thickened skin which covers the prominent wart; cut it off by successive layers, and shave it till you come to the surface of the skin and till you draw blood in two or three places.

Then rub the part thoroughly with Lunar Caustic and one effective operation of this kind will generally destroy the Wart.

If not, cut off the black spot which has been occasioned by the Caustic and apply it again or you may apply Acetic Acid, and thus you will get rid of it.

Care must be taken in applying these acids not to rub them on the skin around the wart.

To Cure a Sore Throat
