Ask the Old Fanner: My grand
mother used to dose me with
mullm tea Did you ever hear of it’
DS, Philadelphia
Yes, and mullm syrup, made from the
root, thickened with molasses We
don't know whether it would cure any
thing or not, but it would certainly
take your mind off the sickness
Home Hints: Retain more meat juices and flavor by removing meat from the
store wrappings as soon as possible
