    roots are good for poisoning anything. They are a plant that grows on the top of clay walls. They are very good for curing sties in anyone's eye.
    The people used nothing for curing any sickness long ago only herbs. They used to cure pimples on the face with nettles. They would rub the nettle to the pimple and it would sting it. Then it would burst. It would be all right then and it would sting it. Then it would burst. It would be all right then and it would be cured.
