    The Dandelion with the bite out of the root a little below the point where the leaves branch off at the stem is the proper Dandelion to use. The leaves and roots are boiled in water for hours and the tea is bottled, and is used a tonic.
    Story
    Once on a time a great sickness broke out in the country. There was no cure for it but the Dandelion. When the devil saw so many being cured he got vexed and he went and ate a bit out of the Dandelion root.
    (?) is a very old cure.
