For Warts
Apply castor oil night and morning to the wart.
Rub the wart vigorously 20 times, exactly, so
that the oil is worked well into the skin.
Do this until the wart disappears.

put dimes in the penny slots of my shoes, just so that I would always
have twenty cents to make a phone call in case of an emergency.

The dimes I was forced to wear helped me out of a difficult
