To George Frost: "...I will try and call on you..."

Hayden 's Viburnum Compound, popularly known as VHC, was a tincture of Black Haw, a shrub used for centuries for gynecological purposes, to relieve menstrual cramps and prevent miscarriage. It became especially popular during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s among liquor-deprived American women who savored a medicine composed largely of Alcohol.
