    Another cure for a cough
    Boil half a bucket of Lusinalee and 4 springs of Brooklime in two quarts of water and boil until the liquid is reduced to 1 quart, and then strain. Add sugar candy and liquorice and boil until both are dissolved.
    Leave until next day. Then put into bottles and cork.
