His mother fell to swaying softly, hugging herself against shivering. "Did you sign over power of attorney to pa, Leon?" "All fixed, Izzie."

If only you would let mamma sew that little bag inside your uniform, with a little place for bills and a little place for the asafoetida!"
From Chaul, an infinite quantity of goods are exported for other parts of India, Macao, Portugal, the coast of Melinda, Ormuz, and other parts; such as cloth of bumbast or cotton, white, painted, and printed, indigo, opium, silk of all kinds, borax in paste, asafoetida, iron, corn, and other things.
It is all eminently simple, and tends at least to show that our ancestors after all were not wholly ignorant of the virtues of cold water.

The ingredients, which had to do with roasted gazelle, were oil and coriander seed and if my memory serves me asafoetida." "Ugh!" Mrs. Jasher's handkerchief went again to her mouth. "Say no more, Professor; your dish sounds horrid. I don't wish to eat it, and be turned into a mummy before my time."
If this should fail, let her take a draught of elder water, or the yolk of a new laid egg, and smell a piece of asafoetida, especially if she is troubled with a windy colic.

Some take it up like a hot horseshoe, and hold it off at arm's length like a druggist pouring tincture of asafoetida in a bottle. And most of 'em catch hold of it and drag it right out before the lady's eyes like a boy finding a baseball in the grass, without giving her a chance to forget that the hand is growing on the end of her arm.

His wry faces were from no indigestion, but from the savour of asafoetida, unrelieved by brandy.
"Doesn't a woman have to depend on her husband's tenderness and care all of the time time she is bearing a child, Sallie, even up to the asafoetida spoon crisis?" I asked with my cheeks in a flame but determined to stand my ground. "It does seem to me that nature puts her in a position to demand so much support from him in those times that she ought to rely on herself when she can.
Take five drachms each of agaric, aristolochia, and juice of horehound; six drachma each of rhubarb, spikenard, aniseed, guidanum, asafoetida, mallow-root, gentian, of the three peppers and of liquorice: make an electuary with honey, and take three drachms for a dose.
