FOUR THIEVES VINEGAR
This vinegar finds its use in the prevention of contagious diseases.
Rub it on face and hands and burn it in the room. It can also be
kept in small bottles for the vapours to be sniffed in case of fainting.
The story goes that this formula was revealed in the 17th century
by four corpse robbers caught red-handed during the time of the
great plagues of Toulouse (1628-1631). Their disregard for the contagion
thoroughly astonished the judges. The archives of the Parliament
of Toulouse record that : "During the great plagues, four robbers
were convicted of going to the houses of plague victims, strangling
them in their beds and then looting their dwellings: for this they
were condemned to be burned at the stake, and in order to have the
sentence mitigated they revealed their secret preservative; after
which they were hanged."
The original recipe was:
3 pints of strong white wine vinegar
a handful each of : wormwood, meadowsweet,
juniper berries, wild marjoram
and sage
50 cloves
2 ounces of elecampane root
2 ounces of angelica root
2 ounces of rosemary
2 ounces of horehound
3g of camphor
