A sort Of 'Do It Yourself' Book Review
By WINK Staff
And now, we bring you an excerpt from
Page 271 of “UNCLE JOHN’S 4-Ply
Bathroom Reader” By The Bathroom Readers Institute, entitled:

"ADVICE TO SINGLES"

“Before self-help books like ‘How To Pick Up Girls’ and ‘How to Marry the Man of Your Choice’ were available, people relied on aphrodisiacs and rituals to score with the opposite sex. These honest-to-goodness recipes were collected by love-starved historians.'

'FOR THE MARRIAGE MINDED:'

‘If you want to get married, stand on your head and chew a piece of gristle out of a beef neck and swallow it, and you will get anyone you want.’ —American Folklore

‘If you can walk around the block with your mouth full of water, you will be married within a year.’
—American Folklore

'To win your beloved’s affection, take a piece of clothing into which you have freely perspired, and burn and powder it with some of your hair. Mix with your spit and blood and introduce it into the food and drink which your loved one will consume.’ [See below.] —English Folklore

'APHRODISIACS:'

‘Take three pubic hairs and three from the left armpit. Burn them on a hot shovel. Pulverize and insert into a piece of bread. Dip bread in soup and feed to a lover.’ —Albertus Magnus, Medieval Philosopher

'Shed your clothes completely, and at the stroke of midnight beneath a cloudless moon, walk three times around a house. For each step you take, throw a handful of salt behind you. If no one has seen you by the time you have finished, the person you love will be mad for you.’ —Dutch Folklore"
