  1. Cures for a Cold

    Share Share Post
    This is a very good cure for a cold, this plant cured many a person, the name of this plant is rose-noble. You would get this plant growing along a wall in dry land. Clean your plant well and put it in a small pot, and put about one quart of after and put it down to boil, when it is boiled you strain it and put it into some vessel, until it gets cold. Then take this first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and your cold will soon disappear.
