and I'm glad I wasn't an invalid then...

More from _The Settlement Cookbook_:

Liver Juice
Cut the raw liver into small pieces and sear slightly in a pan, for less than a minute.  Place the liver in a square made of several thicknesses of gauze.  Squeeze out the juice.  Serve very cold with orange juice.  [Or, you know, don't.]

Irish Moss Lemonade
1/4 cup Irish moss [This cookbook is from Wisconsin--?!?!]
2 cups boiling water
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup sugar
[The rest is as expected from the title]

I also loved the (original!) scare quotes in this discussion:
"Vegetables of all kinds and especially the green, leafy varieties are rich in 'vitamins.'"

She assumes you've got a spider to cook in, too....
