PUT A PIECE OF FRESHLY CUT POTATO ON A WART AND RUB IT, THEN
THROW IT AWAY AND DON'T WATCH WHERE IT GOES. AS THE POTATO
ROTS, THE WART WILL GO AWAY.

 I heard these things from my grandmother throughout most of my young adult life. She was a fantastic storyteller, and was a storehouse of all kinds of information.
