    Parsley is very good for kidney diseases. You boil it in water and then you drink it. Nettles are said to be good for the measles. Make tea of the nettles and drink it. They are also used as a vegetable. "Ripple" grass is very good for a cough. It is boiled and you drink the juice. The dandelion is used as a vegetable. It is boiled and the people eat it. Sage is used for flavoring soup and water cress. The dock and thistle are destroyers because they spread all over the land. They grow on both good and bad land. The daisy roots are used for curing corns. The root is rubbed into the corn and it takes it out.
