"Fifty Warts for a Cent.
One ~of the StarTs brightest and most
energetic little newsboys had, until a
lew, weeks ago, been afflicted with. fifty
large and ugly warts on his hands,
Every one who saw the boy _ had some-
thing to sy about them, and he became
very sensitive on the subject.
Many remedies had been prescribe
ed, but not one was. successful., An}
elderly gentleman, with all the earn.
| estness imaginable, told the little fel-
lowTs mother in a street car one day to
pick down into the roots of one of them
with a needle, slice an omon and
squeeze the liquid into the wound, then
bury the onion in the ground, and when
it decayed the warts would have dis-
{appeared. | ~These iistructions were
faithfully carried out to the letter, but
itheT wafts remained, A..well .huown
druggist on East Marshall. street. ex-
~permmented on the boyTs hand with
caustic for several weeks withotit ~avail.
The little fellow at~ last gave ee in dew
fepair.
A meik or so ago a young lady told
the boy that she would give him a cent
forall his.warts and he yiust go out and}
buy sométhing for it...He quickly ac-
a mouthful of chewing gum. Very ht-
tle attention was paid ~to his hands
untia day orgo ago, when the, warts,
suddenly began to disappear, and today}
his hands are as smooth and softas the}:
young ladyTs who contributed the won-
derful care... The accuracy of this story
can be vouched for by several trust-
|. worthy. persons who are amazed , at the
remarkable occure=ce--Richmond Star.
