- There is a lot of weds growing which are of no use to people.
The bohelan is a weed which grows on fertile land. It has a yellow flower. People are compelled to keep the bohelans cut off the land by the law. The dock leaf is a cure for a sting of a nettle. The old people had cures in all the weeds which seem of no use to us. To drink the Juice of boiled dandelion is supposed to be a good remedy for heart failure. Lady ferns boiled and mixed with unsalted butter are a good cure for a burn.
Fairy fingers are a good cure for pigs suffering from convulsions.
Chicken weed is a cure for a sprain. Garlic is given to calves having a cough. Black button and dock leaf roots are a cure for a cough. Ivy leaves remove stains. Chopped whins cure worms in horses.- Collector
