The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A WART, YOU TAKE AN ONION AND SLICE IT
IN HALF. YOU TAKE ONE HALF OF THE ONION AND RUB THE WART
WITH IT. THEN MAKING SURE NO ONE SEES YOU, YOU TAKE THAT
HALF OF THE ONION AND HIDE IT WHERE NO ONE WILL EVER FIND
IT BUT YOURSELF. WHEN THAT HALF OF THE ONION DECAYS, YOUR
WART WILL GO AWAY.
