Honey and Tar Cough Candy

Boil a double handful of green hoarhound in 2 quarts of water, down to 1 quart; strain, and add to this tea 2 cups of extracted honey and a tablespoonful each of lard and tar.

Boil down to a candy, but not enough to make it brittle. Begin to eat this, increase from a piece the size of a pea to as much as can be relished. It is an excellent cough candy and always gives relief in a short time.
