- People with rheumatism boil wild celery, a small green plant which grows in shady places and drink the juice. This does not altogether cure the rheumatism but it clears the blood.
There is an herb called butte[?] dalk which will cure the sting of a nettle. It is a broad green lead and is to be found where nettles grow.- Collector
