A tonic tonic

"Unionville in the News" reader Caroline sent the following note in reference to my item last week about an odd cure for nighttime leg cramps (putting a bar of Ivory soap at the foot of the bed):

"This problem cleared up completely for me with the following solution: One-third cup of tonic water, with quinine each day. I take it after dinner in the evening. You can add a little something to make it taste better."

Excellent advice, Caroline! Why, I have some tonic water and lime in the fridge right now. What a coincidence.
