"Several relatives came to visit the Tuck Wallace family, a couple with tuberculosis. It was though that the climate might be good for them. Later on Grandma and Henry also had T. B.In these days one did much home doctoring. Tuck was good at it. He kept hoarhound stick candy for the kids when they had colds. He made cough syrup from rock candy and whiskey. "Sure was tasty", said grand-daughter Sally. "We all would cough and hack alots for a sip of it.""
