“ Mix well together one quart Jamaica rum, one-half pint peach brandy, one-half pint water, the skins of three lemons and one lemon seeded and sliced, five peaches, stones and all. Sweeten to taste. Make three or four days before it is wanted. Put in a bowl and cover with a cloth. Three-quarters of an hour before serving, strain and pour into your punch bowl over the ice. If peaches are not in season, half a large pineapple, cut in thin slices, may be used. Any good brandy or apple jack may be substituted for the peach brandy. ”

Place them on the broiler, stem side up, and put in each one a piece of butter the size of a pea; season well with pepper and salt, and broil on each side. When cold make your sandwich as per general directions, flattening the mushrooms as much as possible before placing them between the buttered bread slices. ”

“ Squeeze into a pitcher the juice of four large fresh lemons. Now add two or three large pieces of ice and one pint of good bourbon whiskey. Mix thoroughly by stirring vigorously a few minutes.
