    Herbs.
    There are many herbs of which I know.Some of them are the dandelion,garlic,horehound,water cress,young nettles,and fox glove or digitalis.The dandelion is boiled and the water is drunk it purifies the blood and it often cures heart disease.The garlic is used for bronchitis ,whooping cough and cure every kind of colds.it is like an onion and it is eaten without being boiled .Water -cress also purifies the blood The fox glove or digitalis if eaten cures heart disease. If young nettles are boiled and the water drunk it cures every kind if heart trouble and rheumatism. The dock-leaves and thistles do great harm to the good land .The ivy on trees prevents the trees from growing ,it also destroys land.
