The following candies are from some really old cookbook. How can I tell? The page I have scanned in is so yellowed, it's almost brown. I decided to just put them all on one post since they're all on one page of the cookbook anyway.

Add milk, corn syrup and salt.
Cook slowly, stirring constantly, over low heat until mixture forms firm ball when tested in cold water (about 20 minutes).
