This delightful booklet was published as a promotional for a British Bitters company, known as Yeatman's. It is fun book of cocktail recipes, anecdotes, bits of verse and testimonials to the medicinal benefits of Yeatman's Calisayine Bitters. This was from an era when bartenders and pharmacists had much in common!
Here are a few excerpts:
I have no idea what "Calisayine" means... but a wineglass full of whiskey with a few dashes of bitters and lemon would be a nice "pick me up"... more than one would be a "lay me down" to sleep it off!
