LOL...Love it! Great find!

A good recipe!
A good recipe! Unfortunately in recent times in Czech Republic , scammers sells the "The Eye Water" as the best brandy, which contains methylalcohol and many people die.

Have a feeling that brandy might work :)

I don't think I'll survive half a pint of brandy good or bad :)

No recession back then :)

A fascinating find - the mind boggles! I'd be a bit concerned about the "sugar of lead"!

High quality Eyewater!

Thank you Mary...this herbal makes very interesting reading:))

Thank you Claudia....some people have no scruples or conscience at all...I don't know how they can do such things...

Thought you might say that Foggy:))

That makes two of us Samir!

It probably cost about twopence halfpenny (if you know what that is...but you're probably too young!)

Amazing the stuff they used in those days Sylvia....probably cure or die!

Very! Thank you Peter...:)

interresting recipe ...great entry !!

They also go blind drinking that rubbish

Would make my eyes water for sure : ))

Thanks Hans....

I think you we're supposed to bathe your eyes with it, not drink it Reg.....:)

:)))

My first thought was similar to Sylvia's (the lead acetate), but women still put in on their lips when they choose red lipstick (caution to Sylvia). :-)) I won't be able to avoid reading the ingredient label on the next bottle of "eye drops" that I see on a shelf somewhere. I'm confident the label will not have brandy as an ingredient...the sugar of lead maybe, but I'm doubtful about that as well. How old is the book? Doesn't look very old (paper isn't yellow).

They missed the an ingriedent. Coke !!! nice find Barbara !!!

Lovely find Barbara...I agree with Jim with a nice coke...:-))

:))

Thanks Larry...I'll be OK...red lipstick is not on my agenda:) The book is about 1863, and is well used...not in very good condition, but still very readable, and very funny!!

Thanks Wijnie...so brandy and coke is your tipple then? :))

It sure would fix something Barbara !

I think you're right Margaret:))

I would be asleep after half a pint of brandy..... ;-)

:))
I would be comatose......

I dont think it would get as far as my eye...

lol :))

I'd be out for the count for sure! :-))
