I knew a man who could find no relief from the medicine of any doctor; he then used the following remedy, to wit: he ate every morning seven peach-stones before tasting anything else, which relieved him very much; but as he had the gravel very bad, he was obliged to use it constantly. I, Hohman, have used it for several weeks. I still feel a touch of it now and then, yet I had it so badly that I\ncried out aloud every time that I had to make water. I owe a thousand thanks to God and the person who told me of this remedy.","title":"Pow-Wows: Arts and Remedies: The Gravel","type":"page"}
