Quote

"I wondered, too, on the nature of my affliction. I had had the finest wound physicians on Gor brought to attend me, to inquire into its nature. They could tell me little. Yet I had learned there was no damage in the brain, nor directly to the spinal column. The men of medicine were puzzled. The wounds were deep, and severe, and would doubtless, from time to time, cause me pain, but the paralysis, given the nature of the injury, seemed to them unaccountable." 

Marauders of Gor, page 18

Limerick Poem

There once was a self-centered Green

Who delighted in making a scene

But one day the drama

Caused too much trauma

And now she is no longer seen.

Herbs usage - beans

Herb Usage

Beans - Marauders of Gor, page 81

USE

Beans are extremely high in antioxidants. Bean pods are effective in lowering blood sugar levels and can be used for mild cases of diabetes. Bean pod tea is useful for dropsy, sciatica, chronic rheumatism, and kidney and bladder problems. Externally, bean meal promotes healing of ulcers and sores.

Bean Poultice

Stir one tablespoon of water into two tablespoons of bean meal to make a paste. Spread on rence cloth and cover with a thinner piece of rep cloth.  Place on affected part.  Renew if necessary.

"Similarly men of such castes as the Physicians and Builders make use of the fairs to disseminate and exchange information pertaining to their respective crafts."
