The juice is good for those that have fallen from high places, and have been thereby bruised or beaten, for it is thought to dissolve blood congealed or cluttered anywhere in the intrals and to heale the hurt places.

'...and to heale the hurt places.' That would be good. That will be good. I know it's coming, of course; it is. And it will be good.
