  2. Cumfrey cures sores also. It grows similar to the capog. If it's roots are cut up in small bits, and fresh butter put on them and the mixture put on a cloth and tied on to the sore, it draws out the poisonous substance, and the sore heals up immediately.

  3. Garlic purified the blood and cures pains also. If you eat it daily you will never contract any of the following diseases flu, measles, consumption or diptheria.
