A number of our people have warts on their hands, which are very disagreeable, and everyone of them would do almost anything to get rid of these tautalizers. The following receipt is a sure cure, and should be cut out and saved: Tie seme beans iu a little bag, rub the bag on the warts, wipe a toad’s back with it, hold the bag on top of yonr head while you wish three times, write the wishes on a fly leaf from last year’s dictionary, and wrap the bean bag in the paper, sit on it two hours while mentally repeating the United States Constitution, aud hide the bag. By following this simple formula, warts will go off, provided tho conditions are right.
