Botanic Remedies in Colonial Massachusetts, 1620–1820
WHEN the Mayflower landed on the Massachusetts coast in 1620, on board was a botanical book belonging to Elder Brewster, A Brief Epitomy of the New Herbal etc., first set forth in ye Dutch tongue; by Rembert Dodoens. No doubt this was referred to by Dr. Samuel Fuller, the ship’s physician, who was described as “well qualified in his profession.” It is not known if Fuller had a collegiate education, but all practitioners were familiar, to some degree, with folk medicine—the traditional pharmacopoeia.
English medicine in the early 1600’s was essentially medieval and credulous with no clear distinction between the natural, the supernatural, and the occult. William Harvey, having demonstrated the circulation of the blood in 1628 in a “modern” manner, thereupon concluded that the origins of the heart’s motion lay “in innate heat, which was ascribed to the soul or spirit of the blood; and this in turn was described as ‘identical with the essence of the stars.’” But the old medicine was slowly giving way to a new system.

For those who might have been wondering, all was safe and sound on my side of HOU and Rancho el Gordito is about four hours to the west of there, so all of us and ours are safe and sound from the horrible storms that hit the area.

Afternoon All. In the 40’s here with a beautiful blue sky with lot of pretty white clouds. It was a little chilly outside, but not too bad. It was supposed to rain this afternoon, but the weather guessers changed their minds and decided to put it off until tomorrow. Either that, or they just cancelled it for today.
Wow, seeing on the TV what the wind did in Houston. Unreal! Glad everyone here is safe. It was windy here. The windows went “whump, whump”, but that was the worst of it.

“In Michigan, Leftists Have Started Knocking on Doors in the Middle of the Night”
ROBERT SPENCER | 6:10 PM ON MAY 16, 2024
It’s a hallmark of totalitarian regimes. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about it in his monumental exploration of the nightmare of totalitarianism, “The Gulag Archipelago”: “The sharp nighttime ring or the rude knock at the door. The insolent entrance of the unwiped jackboots of the unsleeping State Security operatives.” The left has now adopted this tactic in the United States, not for arrests (yet), but to frighten its foes into submission.

This is really scary to me. The idea that this would happen and no one would care or come to help. This is escalating fast. It is going to really get bad before the election, I have a feeling.

Dirty Brad Raffensperger and Gabe Sterling Caught Rigging 2024 Election Against Donald Trump – Using the Same Tricks as Last Time!
By Jim Hoft May. 18, 2024 7:15 am
In November 2020 The Gateway Pundit published information on a little known YouTube video with only about 50 views at the time. In the video that was posted in August 2020, Gabriel Sterling joins in to discuss a number of things regarding the election process.
Gabriel Sterling was appointed the COO of the Secretary of State’s office by Brad Raffensperger shortly after Raffensperger was elected to the position in November 2018.
