- Scurvy
They had a great cure for scurvy. My father told me that it is a true cure because his father had a girl who was dying in this way. They used get water lilies in the river Anner. These lilies do not grow in any place only in the Anner. They used boil the lilies and leave them cool then when they were cool they used put a pound of sasafrane and a pound of sasafraile in with the leaves and one glass of first shot whiskey. The three things were then mixed together and drunk every morning until they were cured.- Collector
