Drimia Maritima

I purchased an old Doctor’s book some years ago, from a local oppe shop.

It, appeared to have been owned, by an awfully sick soul; for the pages had spittle marks, as if it had been coughed on most pages.

After reading some of it, I got sick with a cough, and put the book aside.

It was a well written book, with some absolute gems of knowledge, in simple old techniques to cure some nasty complaints.

Mom picked it up recently, and read about an ancient medicinal herb called ‘Squill’.

Not only is it good for the heart, but to treat cough complaints.

I had to know about this, so I did a web search, and found an article on Wikkipedia.

It was mentioned, in the texts of Pythagoras, 6 BC correct me if I am wrong.

Was also used to kill rats.

There are other forms of Squill, and the medicinal type, is now called Drimia Maritima.

So I purchased some seeds, and so I’m growing it soon.

We already have herbal medicine growing to treat the common cold.

I believe, one of the biggest jokes I have heard in years, is when they closed the local Geelong jail.

It sure has been a while, since I had a vacation.
