Wormwood Lozenges

Dissolve some gum tragacanth in water, and mix with it a little spirit of wormwood. Add as much powdered loaf sugar as will make a stiff paste, and beat the mixture thoroughly. Roll it out to a sheet of the thickness of a penny-piece, stamp it into diamond-shaped pieces, and dry these in a cool oven.
