They are used just as they are or like dill in cookery. In many parts of the world hoarhound has become naturalized on dry, poor soils, and is even a troublesome weed in such situations.
Take half a pint of honey and squeeze the juice of four lemons on it; mix well together, and add a small portion of sugar; take a tea-spoonful every time the cough is troublesome. Hoarhound Candy.
