TONIC INGREDIENTS
ALWAYS PICK FLOWERS AND ROOTS FOR TONICS. OUR SPRING TONIC WAS
SASSIFRAS AND SWEET ANISE. WE'D USE THE ROOTS OF THE SASSIFRAS FOR
TEA AND WE'D CHEW THE SWEET ANISE.
MAY APPLE ROOT AND GINSENG WERE MADE INTO MEDICINAL ROOTS AND DRIED
AND SOLD.
WE'D ALSO USE GREENS- LADY BRITCHES, POLK, DANDELIONS, ETC.-
WE'D PUT THEM IN A TUB AND WASH THEM. THEN MOM WOULD BOIL IT WITH
BACON OR PORK FAT AND YOU'D END UP WITH JUST A LITTLE BOWLFULL-
IF YOU GOT A QUART YOU WERE GOING GOOD. THEN WE'D MAKE
CORN BREAD WITH IT.

SUPERSITITION (COLLECTOR,S TITLE)
ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS THINGS TO DO IS PASS SOMEONE ON THE STAIRS.
IF SOMEONE IS COMING UP AND YOU ARE GOING DOWN OR VICE-VERSA IN
ORDER TO WARD OFF BAD LUCK YOU MUST COUNT TO TEN BEFORE YOU PASS.
THE SAME HOLDS TRUE IF YOU ARE GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
NEVER PASSING ANYONE ON THE STAIRS MIGHT HAVE BEN VERY GOOD ADVICE.
IF THAT PERSON WAS CARRYING SOMETHING HEAVY OR IN SOME WAY OBSTRUCT-
ING PASSAGE. HOWEVER IT HAS GROWN TO BE A VERY STRONG SUPERSTITION.
