'County in Ohio Claims Origin of “Cure for Warts” LOGAN, O, Oct. 17. — Oldsters arcund here say Hocking County contributed to American folklore the “wart cure” made famous by Mark Twain in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” In pioneer cays the county had large timber tracts. the trees were felled for lumber, the stumps remained and rotted in the middle. Water collecting in the holes was spunk water.” To remove warts, you had to ap- proach a spunk-water Sstump in the light of the moon, turn to the right and walk around it three times. Then you approached it backward, placed your hand in the spunk water and repeated: Spunk water, spunk water, Injun meal and shorts, Spunk water, spunk water, Swaller these warts.” Then walk around the stump three times to the left, go straight home, and talk to NO one until morning. Three days later the warts were supposed to disappear.
