Saltpeter questions and holiday traditions in Abby column
A reader asks where to buy saltpeter and if a prescription is needed. Abby notes it's potassium nitrate sold at pharmacies with no general prescription, but some sellers refuse to minors due to explosive use, and it tastes like salt though not a sex-urge remedy. A second letter asks Abby to encourage young couples to establish their own holiday traditions and share hosting duties with parents.
