"Take 11/42 oz gentian root, 1 drachm valerian root, 2 drachms best rhubarb root, 3 drachms bitter orange peel, 11/42 oz cardamom seeds, and 1 drachm cinnamon bark. Bruise all together in a mortar, then steep in 1 11/42 pints boiling water, and cover tightly. Let stand until cold. Then strain, bottle, and cork securely. Keep in a dark place. Two tablespoonfuls may be taken every hour before meals."
I think by the time anyone got through making this cure their hangover would be over. I've always wondered about Aunt Bee when she got gassed on the Indian elixir. After her first dose, she didn't seem to suffer from a hangover. But when her and the ladies wound up in jail, several were feeling it and Andy just served them coffee. Maybe hangover cures work better for those like Otis, who take a more "serious" approach to drinkin.
