Pine Tree Tar Cough Candy
First have one tablespoon oil of tar
dissolved in two tablespoons of alcohol.
Cook to a hard snap twenty pounds sugar (white), three quarts water,
three pounds glucose; pour out; scatter over (while cooling) twenty
drops of tar, two tablespoons oil of capsicum, three tablespoons oil of
wintergreen; work all well into the batch (do not pull this on the
hook).
Place before your heater on the table and spin it out in large round
sticks. Have some one to keep them rolling until cold. Cut into sticks
about three and one-half inches long. Wrap them in printed labels.
