Marcellus, De medicamentis , xxxiv. 102. A similar cure is described by Pliny ( Nat. Hist. xxii. 149); you are to touch the warts with chick-peas on the first day of the moon, wrap the peas in a cloth, and throw them away behind you. But Pliny does not say that the warts will be transferred to the person who picks up the peas. On this subject see further J. Hardy, “Wart and Wen Cures,” Folk-lore Record , i. (1878) pp. 216-228.
