Show CURE FOR WARTS. A correspondent of the Scientific American writes as follows: "Some years since a corn-doctor advised me to use coal oil. My hands were covered with them. Having little faith I tried it, putting a drop on each of common kerosene and letting it absorb, where there was a hard crust, scraping it to facilitate absorption. In a fortnight, after twice daily treating them, they began to lessen and finally disappeared without scar. Then the right hand, in part, leaving one which remained after all others had passed away and then that one. Have advised others to try it, with like effect on persistent use. Simply soften the top, drop the oil on, and let it be for some minutes to absorb." |
