Ask the Old Fanner. Did you
ever meet up with the old
tonic of sulphur and molas
ses ? N If so, do you know the
proportions and dosage? K.
M., Springfield, Mass,
Proportions varied, but our
own elders used to stir in a
tablespoon of sulphur to a cup
of molasses. A tdblespoonful
was what they gave us for a
dose (of the mixture) each day for three days. Then they
skipped three days and started over.
Home Hints: For extra flavor, cook Brussels sprouts in con
somme or bouillon instead of water. .. Keep a small magnet
in your sewing basket to collect stray pins and needles.
