She recovered with no worse result than her conversion to Christian Science, which owes its vogue quite as much to public despair of doctors as to superstition. I am not, observe, here concerned with the question as to whether the dose of digitalis was judicious or not; the point is, that a farm laborer consulting a herbalist would have been treated in exactly the same way.
He is at some devil's work; but what it is I do not know; I shall watch him well, however, and it will go hard or I shall find out his purpose." As Woodward was about to depart he mused for a time, and at length addressed the herbalist.
He then proceeded to the kitchen, and having secured his pack, he made as rapid a disappearance as possible from about the premises. Visit to Beech Grove. The Herbalist Woodward now amused himself by walking and riding about the country and viewing its scenery, most of which he had forgotten during his long absence from home.
At this time my little friend was fast losing ground, in spite of his grandmother's great pretensions. At last I hinted to him that my grandmother was a herbalist, and a skilful one. But he hinted back to me that 'most any old woman who could dig roots could be a herbalist, and that without a supernatural commission there was no power that could cope with disease.
He and the other magistrates had collected evidence, and received the informations against Woodward, the herbalist, and the mysterious individual who was in the habit of appearing about the Haunted House as the Shan-dhinne-dhuv, or the Black Spectre. Villany like this cannot be long concealed, and will, in due time, come to light.
One of the head nurses from Intombi told me to-day that the Boers had bribed an old herbalist she thought at Dundee or somewhere to reveal a terrible poison, into which they dipped their cartridges, and even the bullets inside their shrapnel! To this she attributed the suppuration of several recent wounds. Of the garrison's unhealthy condition she took no account whatever. No, it was poison.
"That is honest at least, sir. And why is Chartley interesting?" "Because her Grace is here," answered Robin with sublime simplicity. Sir Amyas barked again. It seemed he liked this way of talk. For a moment or two his eyes searched Robin hard, narrow eyes like a dog's; he looked him up and down. "Where are your drugs, sir?" Robin smiled. "A herbalist does not need to carry drugs," he said.
The herbalist, having secured the money and deposited it in his pocket, said, with a malicious grin, "Couldn't you, Mr. Woodward, have prevented yourself from going to the expense of five pounds for poisoning a dog, that you could have shot without all this expense?" Woodward looked at him.
The potato, however, he praises as nutritious and pleasant to the taste, yet, as Gerarde the herbalist also says, flatulent. Venner refers to a mode of sopping them in wine as existing in his time. They were sometimes roasted in the embers, and there were other ways of dressing them.
"Pass over his trash," said the Earl, "and see whether he had not been supplied with his materials by a herbalist called Demetrius." "It is even so," answered the secretary. "And he adds, he has not since seen the said Demetrius." "This accords with thy fellow's story, Tressilian," said the Earl; "call him hither."
