BENEFITS OF TURNIP

An old remedy for chronic coughs was turnip juice boiled with sugar.The turnips were grated, the juice pressed out, and 2½ ozs. candied sugar were allowed to 1 pint of juice. This was boiled until it slightly thickened. A teaspoonful to be taken several times a day.
The green turnip tops, steamed until tender, are a good “spring medicine.”
