N »-■■fty U » . - ■, ■ Call it superstition or not, a widespread belief once existed-and is still adhered to in some areas-that every plant had a “sign” which showed, its use. If the plant had leaves or flowers which were heart shaped, it was supposed to cure heart diseases. If they were kidney-shaped, then the plant was recommended for kidney ailments. By the same token, head-shaped fruits or nuts from certain trees were assigned for problems of the head. And, following the same line of reasoning, a plant such as ginseng, whose root resembled »he human body, might serve as a general tonic for the entire system. If no sign existed in the plant to indicate its proper use, other aspects might be taken into account. For instance, might be studied to see whether it bore any resemblance to a particu lar disease. If it were~yellow, then it might be suggested as a cure for yellow jaundice. If it had a rough and scaly skin or bark, it might be used for skin problems. On the other hand, just the opposite could hold true. A plant with very bright leaves might wind up as a remedy for anemia. One with a very flexible or limber stalk would WANTED Standing timber, large or small tracts, any specie. Banco Lumber Inc. Contact Ross Miller Phone Day 682-2187 or Night 682-3438 be a likely cure for rheumtism and other stiff-joint com plaints. Authorities generally bas ed the authority for the belief in plant signatures and the general belief in herbal medicine on the creation. After all, since plants were created simultaneously on the third day, then it made sense that each plant was designed for a very special use by man: “Behold I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of the earth.” An herb doctor would naturally tend to believe from this that God had placed a sign on each plant to show its use. Thus the idea still persists. Another bit of reminis cence comes our way this week from Bob Tannehill of Winston Salem who finds himself refreshed and at peace with the world after a jaunt to his grandparent’s old farm place and a retracing of the familiar spring path. “Nothing shall ever erase the fond memories brought to mind each time I trace that familiar spring path. Even though I’m yet a young man, the recollection of my early boyhood years there on my Grandfather Smith’s farm rings a familiar note in the ears of older acquaintances. "It was along this same path that I used to tote the milk and butter to and from the old shingled house. The concrete springbox, now bro ken and covered with green satin moss, still stands as a reminder. “Where over the bottom Trailers ★ Houses ★ Cabins Etc. te Robinson Ditching Service Septic Tanks ★ Ditching ★ Reservoirs CONTACT STEVE ROBINSON AT LESTER HOLCOMBE RESIDENCE Route 3, Box 383, Burnsville, N.C.

And in summer watched the sha dowy, trickling water for baby horneyheads, their golden bodies circling the knoll of pebbles prepared for them earlier. “There were the moments when slinky water moccasins dropped into the creek just as I approached the footlog startling me out of my wits. “These things-and the long-handled gourd used to dip water; the rocks my grandmother leveled her old three-legged washpot with; and above all, the yearning in my heart each evening to hurry with the cold milk and butter to the farm house where hot cornbread, baked over coals on the fireplace hearth, a waited my quicken ing steps; the lamplight flickering through sweetapple boughs, guiding me through the dewey crabgrass. “Yes, those were the days I’ll always be fortunate to recall, each time I reroute my steps over that fading spring path.” Readers are invited to send folk material to Folk- Ways and Folk-Speech, Ap palachian State University, Box 376.
