    living selling Herbiferous medicine for curing all ailments, through thier knowledge of herbage. A few of the cures I have obtained from an old resident are, chicken weed is good for a sprain in the arm or the leg. A Dandelion is good for the tooth ache. Herbane, a plant rarely found now, is of great use to sufferers effected with nerves. Sorrel for pain and sores, and burns, etc. There are many classes of poisoned plants such as Hemlock and Bannery. Most Herbalists have a collection of Herbariurm always at hand.
