Hot
Got all my ironing done and some left from last week, and all put away too. Have plenty of pep again I am so thankful.
(I want some of "Papa's Tonic", whatever it was!)

My grandmother, Ruth Campbell Smith (1892 - 1972) kept a diary for many years. I am posting her entries from 1925 - 1927 in this blog. Her family included sons Dale (1916 - 2004), Dick (1918 - 1971), Albert (1920 - 1979), and Ned (1923 - 1976), and later daughters Marjorie (1925 - 2010) and Eleanor (1929 - 2011). Her husband was Gilbert (1889 - 1937) and they lived in Indianapolis. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of what it was like to be a housewife and mother in the 1920's.

I wonder how much alcohol was in that tonic? She definetly was not a drinker
ReplyDeleteBack in the day, Lydia Pinkham's tonics were all the rage. I think they were all based on various herbs and vegetables. Not sure if a doctor would prescibe them, but their ingredients are used today for various ailments, black cohosh, licorice root, etc., so it could have been something like that.
