    cures which the old people used long ago, when they had no doctors.
    These were simply some herbs which they pulled such as dandelion, vinegar leaf, senna-tea, moonogues and garlic.
    The dandelion was generally used for stomach trouble and also for drinks. They vinegar leaf was also used for food, and the senna-leaf for sick people, the moonogues for drinks, and the garlic for sore throats.
