Cough Mixture (The Late Sir William Gull’s)
4 ozs. honey
4 ozs. cod liver oil
The juice of 2 or 3 lemons, according to size
To mix the above put altogether into a jar and either stand it on the stove or in a saucepan of boiling water until it is well dissolved. Stir the ingredients occasionally.
A dessertspoonful to be taken three times a day, or double the quantity if the patient likes. Should the stomach reject the cod liver oil, sweet olive oil may be substituted, but the other is the best.
