"XX.  Celery

	Celery is now held cheap in our gardens and many think
Taste is its only merit.  But it has its virtues
And offers quick help in many remedies.  If you grind
The seeds and take them, they are said to banish the racking pain
Of a troubled bladder.  If you chew them together with the tender buds
It helps digest the food as it moves through the inmost parts
Of the system.  And if the stomach, that king of the body, is sick,
Hurry to take a draught of water, and sour vinegar
With celery:  The discomfort will pass, routed and quickly cured."
