Those wishing to target particular flabby or sagging areas had more of challenge.

They were told to brew up a foul mixture of chicken and goose grease, pine, rosin, pitch and turpentine in an earthenware pot.

This was then mixed with wax, cooled, applied “to the place that Languishes, or does not equally Thrive”, and allowed to set into a plaster.

That is what I will henceforth be calling my wobbly bits, baby: my places that Languish, or do not equally Thrive.”
