    Mustard is used to cure rheumatism. It is prepared in the following manner:- First of all it is picked and chopped up. Then it is put into a saucepan to stew it. When that is done it is strained and the water of it is put into a cup ready to drink it.
    Nettles are used to purify the blood. At first they are plucked and washed and then they are boiled with bacon. The Wart Plant is used to cure warts. It is first picked and the stem of it is brokem off. In this stem there is milk and the milk is rubbed on the wart.
