When I was
about 10, I had several warts on my thigh. My mother taped a piece
of lemon with rind attached. It seems to me this lasted for
about a week. Being impatient, I remember peeking at it a lot. The
warts started turning black and little by little fell off. The lemon
bit was probably changed daily; I don't recall. I did not have any
warts until recently ( I am now over 50) and intend to try this
again.God Bless - JM Plisky, January 21,

Now
that thanksgiving is over use the leftover cranberry and rub
in on the warts. Repeat every so often. You will see improvement after
two weeks. It may even go away. - John H, November

Being raised
on a farm in rural Georgia by grand parents who were born in the
late 1890’s I was subjected to all kinds of country cures. The only
doctor my grand parents saw was an Herb Doctor by the name of Jeddy
(from the mountains of North Carolina) who made house calls every
2-3 months selling her potions. She claimed to be able to cure every
ailment or disease except for cancer. A fast and painless remedy
to remove warts was to rub a smooth stone taken from the branch
(creek) over the wart, place the stone in a box, wrap the box in
paper, and place the box in the fork of a road. The next passer-by
who saw the box and opened it would then receive a gift – your wart.
My dad remembers his warts being removed on several occasions by
my grand-maw using this remedy. It’s worth a try.
P.S. The old-timers used newspaper or the Sears catalog to wrap
their box in (when outhouse demand was low). I suggest pretty wrapping
paper, maybe even a bow or ribbon to entice someone. -

I'm not sure
exactly why this worked, it's not medical at all. But someone once
suggested to me that a wart would fall off if I stole a dish
towel from someone and then threw/left it in the woods. I tried
this and after a week or two the wart went away.
