    Garlic grows in the wood and it is a great cure for sick cattle especially when they have coughs. Boil it well and give them the juice.
    There is a purple flower which grows on the road side called comfrey. It is a great cure for swelling or inflammation. Boil it and when it is boiled rub it to the swelling.
    Yarrow is a great cure for piles. Boil it and strain the juice and take a teaspoonful of it each morning.
