While I am most appreciative of the writings found on the web and sent to me from Ms. Joyce, about the black drink, I had hoped there might be someone on this list whose kin/ancestors had spoken about this drink. Realizing few live as long as I, plus, few nearing my age still able to use computers due to many age-related conditions, I remained hopeful of hearing from one who had heard about this. Thanks for all the replies. Happy some interest was generated. Walk in peace, Fran Chinquapin

By the way Fran. Folks around here use Poke Salad or it's berries to make tonics and purge. Their berries are very dark purple...almost black. Joyce Gaston Reece
