    There lived a few men in this district in olden times that could cure complaints with herbs. They gathered different kinds of herbs and boiled them. With this mixture they were able to cure Erysipelas and the jaundice.
    Erysipelas was a swelled face which people took one time in this district. They got this mixture from a man who was able to cure it. It was like lard and they rubbed it on and they were cured. These men kept this cure as a secret for themselves.
