THE YORKSHIRE WITCH

She set up as the wise woman and making medicine she began. Mary Bateman was here name and magic powers she did claim. “I’ve come to help those poor people who with health problems have trouble. A doctor's fee they cannot pay so endure pain day after day". Soon among the poor of Leeds the word has spread of her good deeds and of her magic medicine that purges evil from within removing every wretched curse and at a price to suit each purse. But her ways then create some doubt. About false claims some clients shout and one man does loudly complain but she knows how to change the game. His next medicine will be free. No more shouting shall come from he. It contains salt of mercury that then will end his misery.
