Postcard - return address Kings Creek, 3-28-1892, addressed to Mr. H.B. Clack, Roddy, Tenn, Rhea Co. "Baxter, if you will put one table spoonful of crude carbolic acid in a quart of butter milk and rub on your colts with a cob it will kill every louse. Tell Jack S. if he will use a half pint of juniper berries and pour one quart of boiling water over them, when cool take 2 table spoonsful 3 times a day - will relieve him. Will find them at Spring store. Yours, S.G. Clack" [Spencer Guess (Gist?) Clack, son of Micajah and Margaret Kerr Clack; Hugh Baxter Clack, son of William Raleigh and Sabria Newport Clack; Jack Stinecipher, Sabria's nephew, son of her sister, Elizabeth] I'm trying to find the ingredients for my gr-grandmother's cough medicine, will post when I find where I put it. I've talked with several people who actually had to take it when they were children, their memories are very vivid:):) Grandma didn't tolerate too much sickness in children, she wanted them well in a hurry. After just one dose, most of them recovered very quickly when told what they were about to take the next time:) My Uncle Bill is 92 years old and delights in telling the story of when he was just a child and pretending to be sick to get out of doing his chores, all his mother had to say was, "Bessie, Willie is sick, go get Grandma and tell her to bring some medicine." Uncle Bill says he came out of that bed like a shot and was out doing his work before Bessie ever got to Grandma's:) Those home remedies could sure taste awful but usually worked real well. Edna
