valuable recipes
(from the Marshall County Republican, Plymouth, Indiana, November 22, 1860)
Instructions:
To destroy Rats -- Catch them, one by one, and flatten their head in the lemon squeezer.
To kill Cockroaches -- Put them in a barrel and dance.
To kill Bed-bugs -- Chain their hind legs to a tree, and the round in front and make mouths at them.
To catch Mice -- On going to bed put crumbs of cheese in your mouth, and lay with it open, and when your mouse's beard tickles your throat bite.
To make Hens lay -- Tie them flat on the boards, and put pillows under their beads.
To prevent Dogs from going Mad -- Cut their tails off close behind the ears.
To keep Healthy -- Take a brandy smash early in the morning, and throw it out of the door, after which eat breakfast.
To kill your Enemies -- Treat them to rotgut.
