Can anyone remember what we used during the war years as a cure for warts? Many of us as children had a few small warts, usually in a row on our hands. We all had our own remedies.

One I have heard of was to wet a lump of washing soda and rub it on. It worked, too.

In my family, we dabbed something on morning and evening and the warts soon disappeared. Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was.

Could it have been glycerine? It must have been something we had in our house, anyway, as I doubt we would have spent good money on it.
