But when John Rossetti made a chair, Percival destroyed it. Says he: "It was too early to have thought up such a thing." Martin Elphick, a doctor from Kent, pursued primitive medicine, treating flu with violet and willow bark, headaches with valerian root, and asthma with deadly nightshade. The Iron Agers developed their own dyes, appletree bark for yellow, the yew tree for orange, lichens for brown and green...
