q TIE MYSTERY OF RARTsn
II You Buy the warts, They VIII Leave the
Victim Soon.

To THE EDIToR OF THE SuN-Sr: have
been interested for some years in the mystery
OF warts" Nearly forty years ago. when very
small boy. dispelled warts that were upon my
own hands by rubbing them with q piece OF
common school crayon. l am graduate OF a
New York city medical college and am legally
qualified to practice medicine in New York and
New Jersey. and frankly admit that my usual
method OF removing warts from nv patients
has In recent years been by the method OF buy
ing them. To explain my modus operandi
usually give the patient bright penny or nickel
and assure him positively that the warts Will
soon disappear; that they are mine by pur-
ohase. and so must leave him. Usually they
disappear In from four to ten weeks. Among
my wart patients have been the son and
daughter OF n wellknown doctor OF divinity,
and girls and boys OF intelligence. members OF
our High School, who are preparing for EN-
trance into our best universities and colleges.
l mention this class OF patients to show that tho
plan works upon the intelligent and cultured
! as well as upon the ignorant and the supcrsti-
tious BY way OF Illustration / will narrate

mo about an enormous seed wart upon the left
elbow OF her son. The wart was fully as large
as a silver half dollar. and when the boy bent
his arm the wart would crack and bleed l
offered the boy new bright penny for the

that was serious in my proposal to buy tho
wart. In n few weeks l was interested to find
upon examination that exactly one-half OF the
wart had disappeared. II seemed as though
the wart had been divided through the middle
| and one-half OF IT had been shaved or scraped
away. l assured the boy that the remaining
portion would soon disappear. and so 1t did.
OF our local stores had her hands dotted all
over with warts. Judge she had not less than
thirty. on each hand. When ! inquired why
she did not get rid OF them. she replied that
she hnd tried many remedies. but they had
all failed and she was discouraged in her
efforts then offered to buy them Of her for
penny. The method being so easy and
pleasant. she agreed to sell them to me. and
after q mum Der Of weeks they all disappeared
