Maybe a cure for the balding, who knows!

100 grammes of watercress juice
100 grammes of 90% alcohol
10 grammes of geranium essence

Combine ingredients and rub into scalp.

Blackberry Vinegar
2lbs blackberries

1 pint vinegar ~ 1 lb sugar

Soak fruit in vinegar for 2-5 days.  Strain, add sugar, boil for 10 minutes.  Bottle. (One of my granny's cure-alls for winter ills!)

Rose Hip Syrup
Crush 2lbs rosehips and put into 3 pints boiling water.  Bring back to boil, remove from heat and let stand for 10 mins.  Strain through jellybag and when it ceases to drip, return to pan with another 1½ pints boiling water.  Re-boil and allow to stand as before, strain.  Mix both extracts, pour into a clean pan, reduce by boiling until juice measures 1½ pints.  Add 1lb sugar.  Stir over gentle heat until sugar dissolves, boil for 5 minutes.  Pour into hot bottles, seal.
