    There is a weed, growing in a turnip field, named pock and it would cure worths. Herbs are plants with soft roots. Some people say that there is a cure in every herb. Many people with bad diseases are cured by herbs. There are a lot of herbs growing around in my district, some people pull them and others do not. Dog roots are the worst herbs of all and there is no cure in it.
