Anyone who has boils or pimples of any kind should eat one meal of nettles once a week for three weeks. Pull a bunch of young nettles and boil them like cabbage. If you do this you will never have boils or pimples.

There was a man called Kane who had the cure of kidney trouble. He would get herbs called "Early Spring" and "Cranis Bill". He would boil them, and mix the juice of them with new milk and then use it.
