Take half an ounce, when mixed, senna and manna; put in half a pint of boiling water;when the strength is abstracted, pour into the liquid from a quarter to half a pound of prunes and two large tablespoonfuls of W. I. molasses. Stew slowly until the liquid is nearly absorbed. When cold it can be eaten with bread and butter, without detecting the senna, and is excellent for costive children.
