_Another Charm for Warts._--Referring to EMDEE'S charm for warts, which

appeared in Vol. ii., p. 19., I may state that a very similar superstition

prevails in the neighbourhood of Manchester:--Take a piece of twine, making

upon it as many knots as there are warts to be removed; touch each wart

with the corresponding knot; and bury the twine in a moist place, saying at

the same time, "There is none to redeem it besides thee." As the process of

decay goes on, the warts gradually disappear.
