    Health:
    "Peter Redner had the misfortune to be bitten in the foot by a rattlesnake, but was healed by a man who lived at the Carrying Place, who procured an herb called "rattlesnake weed".

Redner was saved, but the skin of his whole foot spotted like that of the rattlesnake. These snakes were so common at that time that the mowers and harvesters had to use every precaution when at their work, and would closely bind grass ropes round their boots and legs up to their knees."
