"My wife again up by four o’clock, to go to gather May-dew";
The early morning dew collected in the month of May was believed to be very beneficial for the Ladie's complextion. It was collected in any way possible, often with a cloth and then rung into a container. The container was kept in the home, and the contents spread over the skin with the finger tips. This was then allowed to air dry on the skin.
Also a method for collecting drinking water for survival.
