It also notes safe tea or coffee before entering infected air, temperature control with ice sheets, swallowing medicine with flour, and a disinfectant test using red hot irons and ground coffee fumes. The text mentions woolen versus cotton in infection risk, and comparing tobacco fumes to fabrics.
A reader shares a method to bake biscuits without an oven using a hot pan and stove hole. Grease biscuits, cover halfway through puffing, then uncover to finish. Works with baking powder and soda buttermilk or sour milk, saving time and heat especially in hot weather.
