It is said that an infusion of this herb, made from 1 oz added to a pint of boiling water, and taken in doses of a wineglassful, can act as a general strengthener. Sweetened with honey, it is good for a sore throat or ulcerated mouth, and makes a good gargle. For internal bleeding and for piles, the infusion is injected.

  I haven’t thought of that! Whoever wants to burn me would have to catch first. I would watch them sink slowly into the marsh.
