He made mustard for neighbors using an old family recipe in his garage, bottled it, and eventually sold it to drugstores around Ohio as "Manning's Mustard Tonic."
It was reputed to cure all ills, from the common to the deadly, but it was really just a simple table condiment. Still, he believed his tall tales and ate a tablespoon every hour.
He died of liver cancer. Seems that he used a lead teaspoon to consume his mustard.
We keep that spoon in the Mustard Man Factory Museum.
Tours are available daily.
