When a youngster of 10 years, was
visited by plague Of warts. From my
earliest recollection I. had had on my
middle finger an old daddy wart but at
the age stated this had multiplied to 40
or more, one being on my lip and one
on my chin. I was considerably worried
over my growing family of excrescences,
and one day woodchopper in my ia
theirs employ, who acted queerly, never
wearing hat, for instance, said that
be could take the warts away with him.
I was quite willing to have him try,
and he took me off to quiet spot under
a willow tree, from which he cut
number of small branches, and these he
cut again into little bits Of an inch in
length, making a notch in each one,
and this notch he set down over each
wart, having at last collection Of 40
or more of these little notched sticks.
These he put into his pocket, saying
that the warts would go away.
I could never say just when the
prophecy was fulfilled, but within six
weeks there wasn't wart on my face
or hands, and there has not been one
since that time What want to know
now, as I did then-and the conjurer
would not tell me-is what did it. |

but they merely laugh, as though I was

the fire, which ragged fiercely for over
six hours.

dislOcated a little later and will prob
