   The herbs most common in my district are the docken, the ragweeds, the camemiles, the hemrage, the hemlock, the blackhead, the garlick, the sleanas, the yeara, the shamrock, sorrell, heather, chicken-weed, red-shank, nettles, thistles, dandelion, farmer's torment, scutch-grass, ferns, touching-heal, peppermint and colt-foot. The scutch-grass, red-shank, colt-foot and dockens are regarded as an nuisance because they spread and are very difficult to pull and impoverish the soil.
   The following herbs grow only in good land namely :- dandelion, nettles, thistles and ragweeds. The heather, blackheads, red-shank, scutch-grass. colt-foot and dockens are found only in poor uncared-for soil.
   There is not an herb growing but possesses a medicinal power for example dandelion-tea is an excellent strength-giver. The liquor of boiled nettles is an unbeatable drink for children with measles or any fever. The leaves of blackheads cooked with unsalted butter is a cure for a serious cut or wound. The sleanas raw in its purity is good for healing purposes especially for broken or beeled chilblains while the chicken weed stewed in lard is good for lumps in the throat. The hemrage is great for swollen muscles.
