I have a tub and a half left from the Christmas roasties. Also used to putting hairs on the chest so may be not so efficacious for the lady people (unless, of course, one has a bent in that direction).

Sir William Denholm's cure is the only cause I would have for the northern natives' hooch. A bed with posts is required. One puts one's hat on one of the posts (at the foot end), retire, drink whisky until one can see two hats. Upon waking the patient will be cured.

(I heard this from the gentleman's own lips so it must be true).
