operations on little Frederick William

spoonsful in four pints of water for each
| person to be served. Cook for three
i hours. When cold let the extract pass
through a hair sieve and add enough
| water to make full pint extract for each
i person. The extract has yellowish
i color and is quite palatable. If children
will not take it pure, little lemon, milk,
or pure fruit juice may be added.

and wouldn't hear Of it He said he
