• Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:

  Smilax glyciphylla, the Sweet Sarsaparilla, is a dioecious climber native to eastern Australia. It is widespread in rainforest, sclerophyll forest and woodland; mainly in coastal regions. It was recommended as a tea alternative, tonic and antiscorbutic, and was still being traded at least up until the late 19th Century by Sydney herbalists. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smilax_glyciphylla

  My Grandfather and grandmother would have known this shop as "daddy Curtis's".

• CailinDeise said:

  Daddy Curtis was a pharmacist who catered for the poor people of that area of Waterford city. He was a lay preacher in the Baptist church and a most genial and affable man. He was a herbalist who went out the country every week with his daughter to gather herbs for his medicines. She carried the herbs home in her small cart that was tethered to her pet goat.

  CailinDeise What lovely "on the ground" information! Thank you. Now have a lovely picture of a goat-drawn cart full of herbs...
