    The dandelion, the Slanlus, the Nettle, the Rhurbarb, the Cowslip and the Garlick, and the Docken. The Dandelion is good for consumption, the Slanlus stops the blood, the Nettle cures the Measles, the Rhurbarb is good for the stomach, the Cowslip is good for the eyes and the Garlick cures the whitlow. Ido not know any traditions connected with herbs or plants. Ido not know why its flower had a certain colour, why its root is shaped as it is and why it was so small.
    The Dandelion and Nettle are used for feeding animals. Ido not know any herbs used for dyeing (any herbs) purposes or for poison. Herbs were used extensively in the cure and Alleviation of disease in former times.
