In the spring it was kind of a ritual--All of  us--(kids) got a tsp of 
turpentine & a mix of sulphur &  molasses... I'm 73 so I guess it didn't hurt 
me...I think when we were  very young like 3 or 4 the dose was lower. It's 
been awhile so I'm not totally  sure---& yes I have come to the realization 
that  the molasses was  not really made from mole's as---  . Lois



I'm 61 and when I was young, in the summer my Mom would give us a  spoon of 
sugar with a couple drops turpentine.  I never knew what it was  for & now 
she is gone so I can't ask.
