WARTS—are spongy excrescences, sometimes appearing upon different parts of the body, and in great numbers: they are exceedingly difficult of instrumental extirpation; for, from their being critically seated, profuse bleeding might probably follow. This mode of operation becomes the less necessary, because a moistening of the surface once in three days, with butter of Antimony, will effect certain obliteration, without the least inconvenience, even upon the eye-lids, which are of equal or superior irritability with any other part of the body.
