Flour boiled thoroughly in milk, so as to make quite a thick porridge, is good in cases of dysentery. A tablespoonful of W.I. rum, a table-spoonful of sugar-baker's molasses, and the same quantity of sweet oil, well simmered together, is likewise good for this disorder; the oil softens the harshness of the other ingredients.
They will never suspect it is medicine; and will even love the taste of it. As molasses is often given to children as a gentle physic, it will be useful to know that West India molasses is a gentle cathartic, while sugar-baker's molasses is slightly astringent. If a fellon or run-round appears to be coming on the finger, you can do nothing better than to soak the finger thoroughly in hot lye.
My aunt Dinah God bless her for a starched quaker wouldn't be seen at a play, I'm sure so she's safe; but the odious sugar-baker's daughters might be there, dizened out; and between the acts, their great tall figures might rise in judgment against me spy me out stare and curtsy pop pop pop at me without mercy, or bawl out across the benches, 'Cousin Burrage!
Sir Roderick O'Boyl, when he was so hard pushed as to be driven over the bridge of Athlone in a coffin to avoid the coroner, didn't he, and in less than a twelvemonth too, bring over a sugar-baker's daughter, pay off encumbrances, and live and die like a gentleman as he was every inch? I have not much to leave you but some advice, Frank dear, and after I slip my girths remember what I say.
