| Mrs Winthrop's Purifying Soap | What really goes into F.F. Gebrandt's Tincture of Vigour? Merely asking the question is enough […] Mrs Winthrop's Purifying Soap is for external application only, but washing one's hands suddenly seems like a safer way to ward off an ailment. |
| Spirit of the Zee | You spread a rumour that most mushroom spirits are made from fermented Uttershroom. Spores remain dormant inside unsuspecting drinkers for years until, without warning, they take over their hosts. […]
