"Such simples as the dandelion, celandine, wormwood, comfrey, misseltoe, and holy thistle, taken in decoctions, infusion, or tincture, will, if properly used, restore to halth many who have been considered incurable, and in most cases preserve the life of the patient for a considerable time, if they should fail in effecting a radical cure."

- Samuel Westcott Tilke (1844)
