Traditional worm out

August Holidays are here

The kids are at home

Keep with Tradition,

WORM THEM OUT ,with the long time remedy Senna and Salts

 Back in the good old days Senna and Epsom salt replaced the famous cotton bush

 This potion was a very effective brand . The first weekend after school closed. The dried Senna leaves were placed in a pot of boiling water, It was allowed to boil for about five minutes then taken off the fire and allowed to cool, the leaves were strained out and the brownish looking liquid , poured into a waiting pot

 The Epson salt was mixed directly into water in another enamel pot, until the salt dissolved. It was time to consume the brand. The kids all in line moved toward Ma who deliver the potions.

Once you were in that line before you were aware of the very very unpleasant taste . There was no turning back because Pa always stood looking with the reassuring leather belt. The Epsom salt was delivered first, the instructions was drink don’t stop until it empty. After gulping down this miserable tasting fluid, a teaspoon of sugar was placed in your hand , to put into your mouth to kill the taste , then you were given the Senna  another nasty tasting potion. After that you were given a hot liquid soup. 

Then you went about doing your daily chores, within two hours it was action time, the toilets was busy with visits. After four or five visits to the toilets , you were back to normal, the worms were flushed out of the system. You were considered worm free until next August
