Cough Syrup



Nothing hot about this toddy. Notice there is no signature, nor the patient's name. The doctor probably had a pile of these ready to go in cold season. No signature required because these ingredients were available in most homes. It probably worked pretty well, too. (Thanks, WTM!)

I should mention that instead of whiskey, he'd use Tullamore Dew. Or Jameson 's .

So each dose is a third of a teaspoon of whiskey? I think I've eaten fancy chocolates that have more alcohol in them than that.
