An EncIish Wart Chsrmer.

OF all country charms against dis.
ease the greatest is the wart charm
This writer knows a man in a little
village not far from Windsor whose
power to cause warts to disappeay
brings sufferers to him from many
miles round. He simply looks at the
warts, says something to himself, and
after a few weeks his patient" finds
they have all disappeared. You must,
however, be careful TO tell him the e
act number Of these excrescences you
possess, for if you have. say, ten and
declare only nine the nine will vanish,
leaving one which the wart doctor is
powerless TO remove. AS in bridge,
the declaration is the important point.
