  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    A certain man named Mr Smith was suffering from rheumatics. He was cured by a weed called the Dan-elion. He was cured in 1903. This weed is first boiled and then strained and it is put under the ground for a month. Then it is taken up and given to the patient to drink.
