Apparently a cure all for whatever ailed you….. Probably nothing but alcohol……Could be why she has a smile on her face!!!

Growing up on a farm, I have always known about the benefits of clover to the soil, as a cover crop.
So…I googled "clover herbal". Both white and red clover blossoms are still promoted as having healthy antidotes for our problems. Especially women.
Today’s clover roots, seems to have a problem being infested with a weevil. Might not want to use the root.
Both Karl’s Clover Root and Kono Tooth Powder were manufactured by S.C. Wells & Co under the name Shiloh Remedies. The business was in LeRoy, New York along the banks of the Oatka River.
