How to make a fruitcake
Figs
are frequently resorted
to by individuals
inclined to
constipation. An
elegant aperient
confection is employed
by the laity under the
homely name of
"fruitcake". It is
prepared by pounding
together in a mortar
equal quantities of
figs, dates, raisins,
prunes, and senna
leaves. This is wrapped
in tinfoil, and sliced
off and eaten according
to the requirements of
the individual.
Note: Senna has
historical use as a
laxative.
Senna Leaf can be
