Reader’s Corner:Warts:

It’s a health query from a few E-news issues back, but still your suggestions come in with every e-mail transmission. Put a slice of garlic on the wart, suggests one, or try zinc, says another. A comfrey poultice worked for one reader, while common wartweed from the garden helped another’s warts disappear. A homeopath recommends Ferrum Picricum 6c twice a day for a month. One tried one part cider vinegar to one part glycerine, which seemed to do the trick. Finally, try your own spit.
