The points, as I see it, of this 1934 recipe, are:
1. Gin. Not vodka.
2. Raspberry. Not cranberry.
3. Lemon. Not lime.
1934 is a totally different drink. Similar to say, the history of the Corpse Reviver, different decades and eras in history, made *totally different drinks*. One of the joys of the work Simon Difford has spent many years (17th edition) compiling is the HISTORY of drinks related anything. I understand substitutions, but this is supposed to be a different drink.
