Good Medicine \endash KITCHENER, Ont. (UPI)
A 104-year-old woman, who drinks rum to help keep her alive, laid the cornerstone for an old people's home.
Mrs. Margaret Madden, one of the oldest residents of Ontario, dedicated the 16 apartment building scheduled for completion in April.
She said doctors told her that rum is good medicine for her. She added the daily nips helped her survive an attack of flu last winter when she was near death four times.
