KEN HAD BEEN SUFFERING FROM WARTS ON HIS LEFT HAND FOR QUITE
A WHILE. NOT EVEN THE DOCTOR IN HIS SMALL NEW HAMPSHIRE TOWN
COULD CURE HIM. ONE DAY DURING A RAINSTORM, KEN'S FRENCH-
CANADIAN GRANDMOTHER TOLD HIM TO RUB THE WARTS WITH SALT
PORK. HAVING DONE THIS, HE THEN THREW THE SALT PORK
OVER HIS SHOULDER SO HE COULDN'T SEE WHERE IT LANDED. HE
WAS CURED IMMEDIATELY AND BELIEVES TO THIS DAY THAT IT
WILL WORK SHOULD HE EVER GET ANOTHER WART.
