Recipe for Quarreling I found this in an old Rebekah cookbook from the early 1900s. Take one root of sassafras and steep in a pint of water. Put in a bottle and when your husband, or friend, comes in to quarrel, fill your mouth full and hold it until they go away. A sure cure. <em>If you have any questions or requests, you may call me at 304-799-4757.</em> <em> Louise</em>
