Into a gill of water put one ounce of flaxseed and an ounce of slippery elm bark. Stir until thoroughly mixed, cover, and leave stand for an hour; then strain through a fine sieve. Add this mixture to three-quarters of a pound of brown sugar, set over a fire and stir until the sugar is dissolved; then boil for six or seven minutes without stirring and add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, and boil to the "crack" degree. Pour into a greased pan, and when partly cold cut with a greased knife into small drops.
