Cough Syrup

Directions

1. 1
   Be careful in your selection.
2. 2
   Do not choose one too young and take one that has been reared in a good moral atmosphere.
3. 3
   Do not insist on keeping them in a pickle or keeping them in hot water. This only makes them sour, hard and sometimes bitter.
4. 4
   Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with smiles and flavored with kisses to taste, then wrap them in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream. When prepared thusly, they will keep for years.
