  1. Herbs

    Herbs are very useful to us. They say there is a cure in every one of them. They Dandeloin is good for a weak heart. Pettles are good for the blood. A cabbage lead is good for a wound the rough side will draw the matter and the fine side will heal. Celery is good for rheumatism. Ivy leaf is good for a corn.
    Garlic is good for a pain. Juice that cums from an ash tree when it is burning is good for a pain in the ear.
    The people could not live without herbs.
