    these herbs are used for poison. Herbs were used in former times for cures and sicknesses. Suffering used to be relieved from herbs in former times. The people in former times used to boil the herbs in milk, when it is well to stream it, and let it get cold then take it three times a day once after each meal.
    The Marshmallow is a flower with four green leaves, and six bright leaves. Most herbs grow on poor land.
