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!)

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