    Herbs
    There are many Herbs, some good for the land and some bad, which others provide good cures.
    One herb is the dandelion. It will cure warts. The white "milk" which is in the dandelion should be put on the warts and soon after they will be cured.
    A cure for a sprained ankle is to get the leaves of the cedar tree and boil them in water. Then put them in water. Then put them on the sprained ankle with a tight bandage around it. At the end of a week it will be all right.
