Biblical
Aromatherapy
by Robert Bike The Bible mentions about 232 plants by name, or closely enough to figure out what plant is meant. Of these, 24 are aromatic plants; that is, parts of the plants can be pressed or distilled to get an essential oil. Essential oils are the lifeblood of plants and have tremendous healing capabilities. The
healing power of plants is the basis for modern medicines.
Originally published in manuscript form in 1999, I completely revised the book and added illustrations. To
order Biblical Aromatherapy in paperback, List price $24.99; introductory offer $19.99 To order the pdf version and download to your computer or phone, The electronic version is only $2.99! |

While FHS was not yet on the graded system with classes, there were students attending.
On March 23, 1856, John Crossen of Crain's Grove beat his wife to death with a fireplace poker. He had been celebrating Easter Sunday by getting drunk. When officers reached the scene, they found the woman dead, her back & limbs beaten to a jelly, the arm she tried to protect herself broken in several places. He admitted beating her, but denied an intent to kill. He had frequently beaten her more severely without serious results. He was confined in the Freeport jail, but no record shows what happened to him.
