"Dr." Sephronius Potsdam (presumably a pseudonym) was a medicine show pitchman, peddler, and general charlatan, operating in the Deep South around the turn of the last century. The following recipe reproduces one of his more successful products, a condiment guaranteed to add flavor and zip to soups, stews, and any gravy. An examination of the ingredients suggests time spent in Louisville, Ky and eastern North Carolina. It makes an excellent barbecue sauce or general condiment.
A pint or so of tomato ketchup (rather than walnut or mushroom) blended with a pint of spirit vinegar, three gills of worcester sauce, the same quantity of chili sauce, a bottle of chop sauce (HP is recommended) and a bottle of tobasco sauce. Mix well together and bottle.
