,brandy4 ,gargle the mouth every night or morning1 with a tea spoonful of this ,tincture diluted with an equal quantity of ,rose-water4 #df4 ,manner of preparing the ,roots for cleaning the ,teeth1 according to ,mr4 ,baum4 ,the roots that are used to clean the teeth are formed at both ends like little brushes2 and in all probability were substituted in the room of ,tooth-brushes1 on account of their being softer to the gums and more convenient4 ,they are used in the following manner2 one of the ends is moistened with a little water1 dipped into the ,tooth-,powder1 and then rubbed against the teeth till they look white4 ,fibrous and woody ,roots are best formed into little brushes1 and on this account deserve a preference to others4 ,the ,roots are deprived of their juicy parts by boiling them several times in a large quantity of fresh ,water4 ,when ,lucern ,roots are used1 those of two years growth are chosen1 about the thickness of one's little finger2 such as are thicker1 unsound or worm-eaten1 being rejected4 ,they are cut into pieces about six inches long1 and1 as we have just observed1 are boiled in water till all the juicy parts are extracted4 ,being then taken out1 they are left to drain2 after which each end of the roots is slit with a penknife into the form of a little brush1 and they are slowly dried to prevent their splitting4 ,in the same manner are prepared ,liquorice ,roots4 ,marsh-mallow ,roots are prepared in an easier way2 but1 on account of the mucilage they contain1 they become very brittle when dry4 ,such as are large and very even are made choice of1 and rasped with a knife to remove the outer bark4 ,they are dyed red by infusing them in the same dye as is used to colour spunges4 ,when the ,roots have remained twenty-four hours in the dye1 they are taken out1 slowly dried1 and varnished with two or three coats of a strong ,mucilage of ,gum ,tragacanth1 each being suffered to dry before another is laid on4 ,the whole is afterwards repeatedly anointed with ,friars ,balsam1 in order to form a varnish less susceptible of moisture4 ,lucern and ,liquorice ,roots are dyed and varnished in the same manner3 those of ,marsh-mallows1 from the loss of their ,mucilage1 considerably diminish in thickness during the time they stand in infusion4 #dg4 ,manner of preparing ,sponges for the ,teeth ,for this purpose very thin sponges are made choice of1 which are to be washed in several waters2 squeezing them with the hands1 to loosen and force away the little shells that adhere to their internal surface4 ,being afterwards dried1 they are neatly cut into the shape of balls about the size of small eggs2 and when they have undergone this preparation1 they are dyed in the following manner4 ,take ,brazil ,wood rasped1 four ounces2 ,cochineal bruised1 three drachms2 ,roch ,alum1 half an ounce2 ,water1 four pints3 put them into a proper vessel1 and boil till one half of the ,liquor is consumed4 ,then strain the decoction through a piece of linen1 and pour it hot upon the sponges1 which are to be left in infusion twelve hours2 at the expiration of which time1 they are to be repeatedly washed in fresh water1 as long as any colour proceeds from them4 ,being dried1 they are afterwards dipped in ,spirit of ,wine1 aromatized with ,essential ,oil of ,cinnamon1 ,cloves1 ,lavender1 c4 ,the sponges are then fit for use1 and when dried by squeezing1 are kept in a wide-mouthed glass-bottle well corked4 #dh4 ,rules for the ,preservation of the ,teeth and ,gums4 ,the teeth are bones thinly covered with a fine enamel1 which is more or less strong in different persons4 ,when this enamel is wasted1 either by a scorbutic humour or any external cause1 the tooth cannot long remain sound1 and must therefore be cleaned1 but with great caution4 ,for this purpose the best instrument is a small piece of wood1 like a butcher's skewer1 rendered soft at the end4 ,it is generally to be used alone2 only once in a fortnight dip it into a few grains of gunpowder1 which has previously been bruised4 ,this will remove every spot and blemish1 and give your ,teeth an inconceivable whiteness4 ,it is almost needless to say1 that the mouth must be well washed after this operation2 for besides the necessity of so doing1 the salt-petre1 c4 used in the composition of ,gunpowder1 would1 if it remained1 prove injurious to the gums1 c4 but has not1 nor can have1 any bad effect in so short a time4 ,it is necessary to observe1 that very near the gums of people whose teeth are otherwise good1 there is apt to grow a crust1 both within and without1 which1 if neglected1 separates the gums from the fangs of the teeth2 and the latter being by this means left bare1 are frequently destroyed4 ,this crust must therefore be carefully scraped off4 #di4 ,for stopping the ,decay of ,teeth4 ,take of ,bole ,armenian the quantity of a large nutmeg1 a like quantity of ,roch ,alum1 two penny-worth of ,cochineal bruised1 and a small handful of the ,chips of ,lignum ,vit2 simmer them with four ounces of ,honey in a new pipkin1 for a little time1 well stirring them all the while1 till the ingredients are mixed4 ,in using it1 take a large skewer1 on the end of which is tied a piece of linen rag2 dip the rag in the medicine1 and rub the teeth and gums with it4 ,the longer you abstain from spitting1 after the use of the remedy1 the better4 ,wash the mouth well at least once every day1 particularly after meals1 first rubbing the teeth with salt upon the end of your finger4 ,teeth much decayed1 or useless1 should be drawn1 if the operation can be performed with safety4 ,the reader will find several other receipts for the ,teeth1 under the article of ,waters4 ,,waters4 #ej4 ,the ,celestial ,water4 ,take

ounces2 ,hepatic ,aloes1 fine ,amber and ,rhubarb1 of each two drachms4 ,all these drugs being procured good in their kind1 beat in a mortar those that ought to be pulverized1 and put the whole1 thoroughly mixed together1 into a large strong glass alembic2 pouring as much genuine brandy upon them as will rise at least three fingers breadth above the ingredients4 ,then having well closed the mouth of the alembic1 bury the vessel fifteen days in warm horse-dung1 and afterwards distil the ,tincture in balneo ,mari1 the water almost boiling hot4 ,when you perceive the water in the receiver change its colour1 instantly stop the process1 and separate the phlegm from the spirit1 by another distillation conducted in the same manner4 ,the liquor thus obtained is the genuine ,celestial ,water4 ,note1 when you perceive this second water begin to lose its transparency1 and incline to a reddish colour1 put it by in a strong glass bottle closely stopped1 and dissolve in the residue half a pound of the best ,treacle1 with as much ,venice ,turpentine and fresh ,oil of ,almonds4 ,place the alembic in a sand heat1 and urge the fire to the first degree1 to have the genuine ,balsamic ,oil1 which ought to be of the consistence of clarified ,honey4 ,if a person rubs himself in the morning with this water on the forehead1 eyelids1 back of the head1 and nape of the neck1 it renders him quick and easy of conception1 strengthens the memory1 enlivens the spirits1 and greatly comforts the sight4 ,by putting a few drops with a bit of cotton up the nostrils1 it becomes a sovereign cephalic1 and cleanses the brain of all superfluous cold and catarrhal humours4 ,if a table spoonful is drank every third day1 it tends to preserve the body in vigour4 ,it is an excellent remedy against asthmatic complaints1 and corrects an offensive breath4 #ea4 ,a ,receipt to make the genuine ,hungary-,water4 ,put into an alembic a pound and a half of fresh pickt ,rosemary ,flowers2 ,pennyroyal and ,marjoram ,flowers1 of each half a pound2 three quarts of good ,coniac ,brandy2 having close stopped the mouth of the alembic to prevent the ,spirit from evaporating1 bury it twenty-eight hours in horse-dung to digest1 and then distil off the ,spirit in a water-bath4 ,a drachm of ,hungary-,water diluted with ,spring-,water1 may be taken once or twice a week in the morning fasting4 ,it is also used by way of embrocation to bathe the face and limbs1 or any part affected with pains1 or debility4 ,this remedy recruits the strength1 dispells gloominess and strengthens the sight4 ,it must always be used cold1 whether taken inwardly as a medicine1 or applied externally4 #eb4 ,another ,receipt to make ,hungary-,water4 ,fill a glass or stone cucurbit half full of fresh gathered ,rosemary-tops picked in their prime2 pour on them as much ,spirit of ,wine as will thoroughly soak them4 ,put the vessel in a water-bath1 and having closely luted on the head and receiver1 leave it to digest on a gentle fire for three days2 at the expiration of which period unlute the vessel1 and pour back into the cucurbit whatever liquor you find in the receiver4 ,then lute your cucurbit again1 and encrease the fire so as to cause the ,spirit to rise fast over the helm4 ,when about two thirds of the liquor are drawn off1 remove the fire1 and let the vessel stand to cool2 you will find in the receiver an excellent ,hungary-,water1 which is to be kept in a glass bottle closely stopped4 ,hungary-water must be drawn off with a brisk fire1 or the ,spirit of ,wine will come over the helm1 very little impregnated with the essence of ,rosemary4 #ec4 ,directions for making ,lavender-,water4 ,fill a glass or earthen body two thirds full of ,lavender ,flowers and then fill up the vessel with ,brandy or ,melasses ,spirits4 ,let the ,flowers stand in infusion eight days1 or less if straitened for time2 then distil off the ,spirit1 in a water-bath with a brisk fire1 at first in large drops or even a small stream1 that the ,essential ,oil of the ,flowers may rise with the ,spirit4 ,but as this cannot be done without the phlegm coming over the helm at the same time1 the ,spirit must be rectified4 ,the first distillation being finished1 unlute the still1 throw away what remains in the body1 and1 fill it with fresh ,flowers of ,lavender1 in the proportion of two pounds of ,lavender ,flowers to one pint of ,spirit2 pour the ,spirit already distilled according to the foregoing directions1 on the ,lavender ,flowers1 and distil a second time in a vapour-bath4 #ed4 ,another ,method4 ,take fresh or dried ,lavender ,flowers1 sprinkle them with ,white ,wine1 ,brandy1 ,melasses ,spirit1 or ,rose-water2 let them stand in infusion for some days1 and then distil off the ,spirit4 ,the distilled water will be more odoriferous1 if the ,flowers are dried in the sun in a glass bottle close stopped1 and ,white ,wine afterwards poured upon them4 ,if you would have speedily1 without the trouble of distillation1 a water impregnated with the flavour of ,lavender1 put two or three drops of ,oil of ,spike1 and a lump of ,sugar1 into a pint of clear ,water1 or ,spirit of ,wine1 and shake them well together in a glass phial1 with a narrow neck4 ,this ,water1 though not distilled1 is very fragrant4 #ee4 ,to make ,rose-,water4 ,to make an excellent ,rose-water1 let the ,flowers be gathered two or three hours after sun-rising in very fine weather2 beat them in a marble mortar into a paste1 and leave them in the mortar soaking in their juice1 for five or six hours2 then put the mass into a coarse canvas bag1 and press out the ,juice2 to every quart of which add a pound of fresh ,damask ,roses1 and let them stand in infusion for twenty-four hours4 ,then put the whole into a glass alembic1 lute on a head and receiver1 and place it on a sand heat4 ,distil at first with a gentle fire1 which is to be encreased gradually till the drops follow each other as quick as possible2 draw off the water as long as it continues to run clear1 then put out the fire1 and let the alembic stand till cold4 ,the distilled water at first will have very little fragrancy1 but after being exposed to the heat of the sun about eight days1 in a bottle lightly stopped with a bit of paper1 it acquires an admirable scent4 #ef4 ,or1 ,infuse in ten or twenty pints of ,juice of ,damask ,roses1 expressed in the manner above described1 a proportionable quantity of ,damask ,rose ,leaves gathered with the usual precautions4 ,after standing in infusion twenty-four hours1 pour the whole into a short-necked alembic1 distil in a sand heat1 and draw off as much as possible1 taking care not to leave the residuum quite dry1 for fear the distilled water should have an empyreumatic or still-burnt flavour4 ,after emptying the alembic1 pour the distilled water a second time into it1 and add a good quantity of fresh picked ,damask ,roses4 ,lute it well1 placing it again in a sand heat1 and repeat the distillation4 ,but content yourself this time with a little more than half the water you put back into the alembic4 ,to impress on ,rose-water the utmost degree of fragrancy of which it is susceptible1 it is necessary to expose it to the genial warmth of the sun4 ,rose-water is an excellent lotion for the eyes1 if used every morning1 and makes a part in all collyriums prescribed for inflammations of these parts2 it is also proper in many other complaints4 #eg4 ,to make ,orange-,flower ,water4 ,having gathered 7two hours before sun-rise1 in fine weather7 a quantity of ,orange-,flowers1 pluck them leaf by leaf1 and throw away the stalks and stems3 fill a tin cucurbit two thirds full of these picked ,flowers2 lute on a low bolt-head1 not above two inches higher than the cucurbit2 place it in balneo ,mari1 or a water-bath1 and distill with a strong fire4 ,you run no risk from pressing forward the distillation with violence1 the water-bath effectually preventing the ,flowers from being burnt4 ,in this method you pay no regard to the quantity1 but the quality of the water drawn off4 ,if nine pounds of ,orange ,flowers were put into the still1 be satisfied with three or four quarts of fragrant water2 however1 you may continue your distillation1 and save even the last droppings of the still1 which have some small fragrancy4 ,during the operation1 be careful to change the water in the refrigeratory vessel as often as it becomes hot4 ,its being kept cool prevents the distilled water from having an empyreumatic or burnt smell1 and keeps the quintessence of the ,flowers more intimately united with its phlegm4 #eh4 ,another ,method4 ,take four pounds of unpicked ,orange ,flowers1 bruise them in a marble mortar1 and pour on them nine quarts of clear ,water4 ,distil in a cold still1 and draw off five or six quarts1 which will be exquisitely fragrant4 ,if you are desirous of having it still higher flavoured1 draw off at first full seven quarts1 unlute the still and throw away the residuum2 empty back the water already distilled1 and add to it two pounds of fresh ,orange ,flowers bruised4 ,again luting the still1 repeat the distillation1 and draw of five or six quarts4 ,then stop1 being careful not to draw off too much water1 lest the ,flowers should become dry and burn too4 ,the use of ,orange-,flower ,water is very extensive4 ,it is high in esteem for its aromatic perfume2 and is used with success for hysteric complaints4 ,waters from all kinds of ,flowers are made in the same manner as ,orange-,flower and ,rose-water2 but waters from dried odoriferous plants1 such as ,thyme1 ,hyssop1 ,marjoram and ,wormwood1 are made as follows4 ,fill two thirds of a large stone jar with the tops of the plant you propose to distil2 boil1 in a sufficient quantity of water1 some twigs or tops of the same plant2 and when one half of the water has evaporated1 pour the remainder into a jar over the flowers1 and let them stand to infuse three or four days2 then distil them in a common or cold still4 ,care1 however1 must be taken not to distil to dryness1 lest you risque the bottom of the vessel2 to prevent which accident1 the best way is never to draw off more than two thirds of the liquor put into the still4 ,if you be desirous that the distilled water should acquire a higher flavour1 after the first distillation unlute the still1 throw out what remains at the bottom1 and fill it half full of fresh tops of the plant1 pouring on them the water already distilled2 repeat the distillation1 and this second time the water drawn off will be highly odoriferous4 ,if the plant contains a large portion of ,essential ,oil1 it will not fail to float on the top of the liquor contained in the receiver1 and may be separated by the usual method4 #ei4 ,magisterial ,balm-,water4 ,take half a pound of ,cinnamon1 six ounces of ,cardamon-seeds1 and the same quantity of green ,aniseeds2 ,cloves1 four ounces2 ,coriander-seeds1 eight ounces3 beat these spices in a marble mortar1 and putting them afterwards into a stone jar1 add the ,yellow ,rind of eight ,lemons1 a pound of ,juniper-berries bruised1 twelve handfuls of ,balm gathered in its prime1 six handfuls of ,rosemary-tops1 as much ,sage1 ,hyssop1 and ,angelica1 ,sweet ,marjoram and ,thyme1 of each six handfuls2 ,wormwood a handful2 cut the herbs very small1 putting them into the jar with the spices1 and pour on four gallons of ,brandy or ,melasses ,spirits4 ,when they have stood in infusion eight days1 empty the ingredients and liquor into an alembic of a common height1 and distil in a water-bath4 ,at first draw off ten quarts1 which are to be thrown again into the alembic1 continue the same degree of fire for some time1 then gradually lessen it till the aromatic spirit comes off in quick drops4 ,continue your distillation in this manner till you perceived the phlegm rise1 which is easily known by the weakness of the ,spirit1 and when the process is ended1 expose the aromatic spirit which has been drawn off to the rays of the sun1 in a glass bottle1 stopped only with a loose paper cork1 to give the fiery particles an opportunity of evaporating4 ,what remains in the body of the still is not to be considered as wholly useless4 ,after evaporating it to dryness1 burn the residuum of the plants and aromatics2 and when the whole mass is reduced to ashes1 throw them into a vessel of boiling water1 in which let them remain two or three minutes on the fire4 ,then remove the vessel1 and let the water stand till cold1 when it is to be filtered through blotting paper3 ,the water1 which appears limpid1 is to be set on the fire again1 and wholly evaporated4 ,at the bottom of the vessel1 which ought to be a new-glazed earthen pot1 will remain a pure white fixed salt1 which may be dissolved in the ,magisterial ,balm-water4 ,this water is highly esteemed1 and has even acquired a reputation equal to that of

days4 ,then add a pint of simple ,balm-water1 and shake the whole well together2 after which distil in a vapour bath till the ingredients are left almost dry2 and preserve the water thus obtained1 in bottles well stopped4 ,this water has been long famous at ,paris and ,london1 and carried thence to most parts of ,europe4 ,it has the reputation of being a cordial of very extraordinary virtues1 and not only of availing in all lowness of spirits1 but even in apoplexies4 ,it is also much esteemed in cases of the gout in the stomach2 whence the ,carmelite ,friars1 who originally were in possession

throw into the jar a little ,yeast1 and stop it close in the same manner as before4 ,a strong fermentation having been excited1 take five or six pounds of your fermented ,rose ,paste1 put it into a common cucurbit1 and distil it with a very gentle fire in a vapour-bath4 ,when you have drawn off as much water as you can1 unlute the alembic2 throw away what remains in the cucurbit1 take five or six pounds more of the fermented ,paste of ,roses1 and put it into the cucurbit1 with the ,water already drawn2 distil in a vapour-bath with such a degree of fire1 as will cause the distilled ,water to run off in a middling sized stream4 ,when you can draw off no more1 empty the cucurbit1 fill it again with fresh fermented ,paste of ,roses1 and pour on it all the distilled ,water that the preceding distillations have produced4 ,distil as before2 and repeat these operations1 till you have used all your fermented ,paste of ,roses4 ,every time you open the jar1 be careful to cork it close1 otherwise the most spirituous particles will evaporate4 ,after the last distillation1 you will have obtained a very fine scented ,water1 but not very spirituous1 because loaded with a considerable quantity of phlegm2 and it must therefore be rectified4 ,for this purpose make choice of a very long necked glass matrass of a reasonable size1 fill it about three parts full with your unrectified ,spirit of ,roses2 fit on a bolt-head1 and receiver2 lute the joints carefully1 and distil in a vapour-bath with a very slow fire4 ,when you have drawn off about a tenth part of what was put into the matrass1 let the vessel cool1 and set apart the ,spirit that is found in the receiver4 ,what remains in the matrass must not be thrown away as useless1 for it is a ,rose-water far superior to what is prepared according to the usual method4 ,after the first rectification of a part of the ,spirit1 repeat the same operation with another part1 till the whole is rectified1 and then rectify them all together once more4 ,after this last operation1 you will obtain a highly penetrating and inflammable ,spirit of ,roses4 ,the phlegmatic part that remains in the matrass may be added to that procured from the preceding rectifications1 and the whole kept for use in a cellar or other cool place in a bottle1 well corked4 ,the scent of inflammable ,spirit of ,roses is extremely sweet2 if only two drops of it are mixed with a glass of ,water1 they impart to the ,water so high a perfume1 that it exceeds the very best ,rose-water4 #aah4 ,inflammable ,spirits of all ,kinds of ,flowers4 ,to distil an inflammable ,spirit from ,flowers of all kinds1 the preceding method must be used2 as also to procure one from all kinds of vegetables4 ,only observe that in plants1 and dried flowers1 as ,thyme1 ,betony1 ,mint1 ,stechas1 ,violets1 and ,jasmine1 the ,seeds must be bruised with the ,flowers and ,roots2 as they also must with the ,flowers of the ,tuberose ,lily1 ,angelica1 ,iris2 in odoriferous ,fruits1 as ,oranges1 ,lemons1 ,citrons1 c4 add the ,rind of those ,fruits to the ,flowers2 and to the ,flowers of ,elder1 ,juniper1 ,lily of the ,valley1 and ,acacia1 c4 add the ,berries well moistened2 whether green or dry is of no signification4 ,,essences4 #aai4 ,method of extracting ,essences from ,flowers4 ,procure a wooden box lined with tin1 that the wood may not communicate any disagreeable flavour to the ,flowers1 nor imbibe the ,essence4 ,make several straining frames to fit the ,box1 each about two inches thick1 and drive in them a number of hooks1 on which fix a piece of callicoe stretched tight4 ,the utmost care is requisite1 to have the straining cloths perfectly clean and dry before they are used4 ,after having caused the cloths to imbibe as much ,oil of ,ben as possible1 squeeze them a little1 then stretch and fix them on the hooks of the frames2 put one frame thus completed at the bottom of the box1 and upon its cloth strow equally those flowers1 the essence of which you intend to extract2 cover them with another frame1 on the cloth of which you are to strow more flowers1 and continue to act in the same manner till the box is quite filled4 ,the frames being each about two inches thick1 the flowers undergo very little pressure1 though they lye between the cloths4 ,at the expiration of twelve hours1 apply fresh flowers in the same manner1 and continue so to do for some days4 ,when you think the scent powerful enough1 take the cloths from the frames1 fold them in four1 roll them up1 and tie them tight with a piece of whip-cord1 to prevent their stretching out too much1 then put them into a press1 and squeeze out the oil4 ,the press must be lined with tin1 that the wood may not imbibe any part of the oil4 ,place underneath a very clean earthen or glass vessel to receive the essence1 which is to be kept in bottles nicely corked4 ,the essence of one kind of flower only1 can be made in a box at the same time1 for the scent of one would impair that of another4 ,for the same reason1 the cloths that have been used to extract the essence of any particular flower1 cannot be used to extract the essence of another1 till washed clean in a strong lye1 and thoroughly dried in the open air4 ,this method is of great use to obtain the scent of flowers which afford no ,essential ,oil by distillation1 such as ,tuberoses1 ,jasmine1 and several others4 #abj4 ,or1 ,take any flowers you please1 and put them in a large jar1 layer by layer1 mixed with ,salt1 as directed for inflammable ,spirit of ,roses1 till the jar is quite full2 then cork it tight1 and let it stand in a cellar1 or some other cool place1 for forty days2 at the expiration of which time1 empty the whole into a sieve1 or straining cloth1 stretched over the mouth of a glazed earthen or stone pan1 to receive the essence that drains from the flowers upon squeezing them gently4 ,afterwards put the essence into a glass bottle1 which must not be filled above two thirds2 cork it tight1 and expose it to the heat of the sun in fine weather1 five and twenty or thirty days1 to purify the essence1 a single drop of which will be capable of scenting a quart of ,water or any other ,liquid4 #aba4 ,essence of ,ambergrise4 ,take of ,ambergrise a quarter of an ounce2 the same quantity of ,sugar ,candy2 ,musk1 half a drachm2 and ,civet1 two grains2 rub them together1 and put the mixture into a ,phial3 pour upon it a quarter of a pint of tartarised ,spirit of ,wine1 stop close the ,phial1 which set in a gentle sand heat for four or five days1 and then decant the clear ,tincture for use4 ,this makes the best of perfumes2 the least touch of it leaves its scent upon any thing a great time2 and in constitutions where such sweets are not offensive to the head1 nothing can be a more immediate ,cordial4 #abb4 ,a ,remedy for ,st4 ,anthony's ,fire or ,erysipelatous ,eruptions on the ,face4 ,take ,narcissus ,roots1 an ounce2 fresh ,nettle-seeds1 half an ounce2 beat them together into a soft ,paste with a sufficient quantity of ,white ,wine ,vinegar1 and anoint the eruptions therewith every night2 or1 bathe the part affected with the ,juice of ,cresses4 ,,flowers4 #abc4 ,manner of drying ,flowers1 so as to preserve their natural ,colours4 ,take fine ,white ,sand1 wash it repeatedly1 till it contains not the least earth or salt1 then dry it for use4 ,when thoroughly dry1 fill a glass or stone jar half full of ,sand1 in which stick the ,flowers in their natural situation1 and afterwards cover them gently with the same1 about the eighth part of an inch above the ,flower4 ,place the glass in the sun1 or1 if in winter-time1 in a room where a constant fire is kept1 till the ,flower is perfectly dried4 ,then remove the ,sand with the utmost precaution1 and clean the ,leaves with a feather brush4 ,particular ,flowers lose in some measure their natural lively colours1 but this may be helped by the assistance of art4 ,roses and other ,flowers of a delicate colour1 recover their natural lustre by being exposed to a moderate vapour of ,brimstone2 but ,crimson or ,scarlet ,flowers1 by being exposed to the vapour of a solution of ,tin in ,spirit of ,nitre4 ,the vapour of a solution of ,filings of ,steel in ,spirit of ,vitriol1 restores to the ,leaves and ,stalk1 their primitive green colour4 ,this method succeeds perfectly well in single ,flowers4 ,there are some difficulties with respect to ,pinks1 ,carnations1 and other double ,flowers2 to succeed with them1 split the cup on each side1 and when the ,flower is quire dry1 glue it together with ,gum-water2 or prick the cup in different parts with a large pin4 ,as to the scent1 which is in great measure lost in drying1 it may be restored1 by dropping into the middle of the ,flower a drop of its ,essential ,oil2 for instance1 a drop of ,oil of ,roses on a ,rose1 ,oil of ,cloves on a ,clove-july-flower1 ,oil of ,jasmine on a ,jasmine ,flower4 #abd4 ,a ,secret to preserve ,flowers4 ,fill an earthen1 copper1 or wooden vessel half full of sifted ,sand1 then fill it up to the brim with clear ,spring ,water1 and stir the ,sand well with a stick in order to detach the earthy particles4 ,when the ,sand has thoroughly settled1 pour off the turbid ,water by inclination1 add fresh ,water1 and continue to wash the ,sand1 till all the ,water that floats on its surface remains perfectly clear4 ,the ,sand being thus cleansed1 expose it to the heat of the sun a sufficient time1 to exhale entirely its humidity4 ,prepare for every ,flower an earthen or tin vessel of a proper size1 make choice of the finest1 most perfect1 and driest ,flowers of their respective kinds1 and be careful to leave the stalks of a good length4 ,place them upright in the vessel1 with one hand as lightly as possible1 about two or three inches below the rims1 so as not to touch the sides1 or each other2 and with the other hand gradually pour on them the ,sand till the stalk is quite covered2 then lightly cover the ,flower itself1 separating the ,leaves a little4 ,the ,tulip requires a farther operation4 ,the triangular top that rises out of the middle of the cup1 must be cut off1 by which means the ,leaves of the ,flower will adhere better to the ,stalk4 ,when the vessel is filled with ,flowers1 leave it a month or two exposed to the rays of the sun2 and the ,flowers when taken out1 though dry1 will be very little inferior in beauty to new-blown ,flowers1 but will have lost their scent4 #abe4 ,another ,secret to preserve ,flowers4 ,take the finest ,river ,sand you can get1 after having sifted it several times through a fine sieve1 throw it into a glass vessel full of clear ,water1 and rub it a good while between your fingers to render it still finer2 then pour off the ,water by inclination1 and dry the ,sand in the sun4 ,the ,sand being thus prepared1 bury the ,flowers gently in it with their ,leaves and ,stalk1 disposing them in such a manner that their form may not be in the least injured4 ,after having thus kept ,flowers some time1 till their humid particles are entirely evaporated1 take them out1 and inclose them in bottles1 well corked2 secure them from all changes of the atmosphere1 but let them enjoy a temperate warmth2 for if the heat is too great1 the colours fade2 and if not kept sufficiently warm1 the humidity of the ,flowers will not wholly evaporate4 #abf4 ,another ,method of preserving ,flowers a long while1 in their natural ,shape and ,colour4 ,take the finest ,river ,sand1 divested of whatever impurities it may contain2 then dry it in the sun or a stove1 sift it through a sieve1 and only make use of the finest part4 ,procure a ,tin ,box1 or a ,wooden ,box lined with ,tin1 of any size you think proper1 cover the bottom of the ,box three or four inches deep with prepared ,sand1 and stick in it the ,stalks of the ,flowers in rows1 but in such a manner that none of the ,flowers may touch each other1 afterwards filling the vacuities between the ,stalks with ,sand4 ,then spread the ,sand all round the ,flowers1 which cover with a layer about two or three inches thick4 ,put this ,box in a place exposed to the sun1 or in some warm situation1 for the space of a month4 ,with respect to ,tulips1 the pistil that rises in the middle1 and contains the ,seed1 must be dexterously cut out1 and the empty space filled with ,sand3 too many ,flowers should not be put into the same ,box1 nor should the ,box be too large4 ,,gloves4 #abg4 ,white ,gloves ,scented ,with ,jasmine after the ,italian manner4 ,take half an ounce of ,white ,wax2 dissolve it over a gentle fire in two ounces of ,oil of ,ben4 ,dress your skins with this ,liquid1 dry them on lines1 and clean them well with the purest water2 when they are dried and properly stretched1 make them up into gloves1 which are to have the ,jasmine ,flowers applied to them eight days according to the usual method2 then bring them into shape1 and fold them smooth4 ,this manner of working them up1 communicates to the gloves the property of retaining the scent of the ,flowers much better than those that are drest otherwise1 and likewise imparts to them the virtue of preserving the hands and arms delicately soft and white4 #abh4 ,gloves scented without ,flowers4 ,take an ounce of ,liquid ,storax1 an ounce of ,rose-wood1 the same quantity of ,florentine ,orrice1 and half an ounce of ,yellow ,sanders4 ,beat the three last articles into a very fine powder1 and add to it the ,storax1 with the earths that you use to dye your gloves1 and a little ,gum ,arabic4 ,then take an equal quantity of ,rose and ,orange ,flower ,water1 to temper this composition which you lay on your gloves2 when they are dry1 rub them well1 and fold them up2 then dress them afresh with a little ,gum ,water1 in which has been dissolved some powder of ,florentine ,orrice2 hang them up to dry1 and afterwards bring them into form1 and fold them up as fit for use4 #abi4 ,white

the whole to fine powder1 with as much ,ceruss as you choose4 ,mix them with ,rose-water1 and dress your gloves with the mixture as neatly as you can for the first coat2 then rub them well1 and open them when they are thoroughly dry4 ,use the same for the second coat1 with the addition of a little ,gum ,arabic4 ,for the third coat1 levigate on a marble1 eight grains of ,ketmia ,seed1 four grains of ,civet1 a little ,oil of ,ben1 and a very little ,gum ,tragacanth1 dissolved in ,rose-water2 add to this composition a quarter of a pint of ,orange ,flower ,water2 after having applied this third coat to your gloves1 bring them into form1 before they get thoroughly dry4 #acj4 ,to colour ,gloves a curious ,french ,yellow4 ,take ,chalk and ,wood ,ashes1 of each an equal quantity1 and make a

in a hot house1 or in hot ashes1 two days2 then distil off the ,liquor with an uniform middling fire4 ,what remains after the distillation of the ,essence1 and is called the ,white ,drops1 is only fit to wash the hands with4 #ada4 ,to make ,oil of ,tuberoses and ,jasmine4 ,bruise a little the ,tuberoses or ,jasmine ,flowers in a marble mortar with a wooden pestle2 put them into a proper vessel1 with a sufficient quantity of ,oil of ,olives1 and let them stand in the sun in a close stopped vessel twelve or fifteen days to infuse2 at the expiration of which time1 squeeze the ,oil from the ,flowers4 ,let the ,oil stand in the sun to settle1 then pour it clear off the dregs4 ,this ,oil is very fragrant1 and well impregnated with the ,essential ,oil of these ,flowers4 ,infuse a fresh parcel of ,flowers1 newly gathered1 in the same ,oil1 and proceed as before3 repeat this operation twelve or fourteen times1 or even oftener if necessary1 till the ,oil is fully impregnated with the flavour of the ,flowers4 ,some people use ,oil of ,ben instead of ,sallad ,oil1 which in our opinion is preferable1 being infinitely less apt to grow rancid4 ,the ,oils of ,tuberoses1 and ,jasmine ,flowers are of use for the ,toilet on account of their fragrancy4 ,there are cases in which they may be successfully used externally by way of friction1 to comfort and strengthen the nerves1 and brace up the skin when too much relaxed4 #adb4 ,an ,oil scented with ,flowers for the ,hair4 ,sallad ,oil1 ,oil of ,sweet ,almonds1 and ,oil of ,nuts1 are the only ones used for scenting the hair4

lute on the refrigeratory vessel4 ,distil in the common manner with a fire of such a degree of strength as will cause the distilled water to run off in a thick thread4 ,the phlegm and spirit will come over in a considerable quantity1 and the ,essential ,oil1 with which ,lavender greatly abounds1 will soon appear floating on the surface of the ,water in the receiver2 which is to be separated according to the rules of art4 ,as soon as you perceive that no more ,oil drops into the receiver1 which generally happens to be the case a good while before the phlegm is entirely drawn off1 finish your distillation4 ,if you want a larger quantity of ,quintessence1 empty the still1 put fresh ,flowers1 and adding the phlegm and spirit drawn off by the former distillation1 instead of so much

the common manner1 with a fire of such a degree of fierceness as to make the distilled ,water run off in a stream1 resembling a thick thread4 ,the ,quintessence will come over with the ,spirit1 mixed with a large quantity of ,phlegm2 but being heavier than either of those substances1 will be found precipitated to the bottom of the receiver4 ,separate it in the usual manner1 and keep it for use in a vial closely corked4 ,then unlute your still1 and throw in the spirituous ,water that remains after the separation of the ,quintessence2 distil it a second time1 and you will obtain a small quantity

or carpet to dry in the sun1 afterwards rub them in a mortar1 and sift the powder through a coarse or fine sieve1 according to the degree of fineness you would have your snuff2 or grind the ,tobacco ,leaves1 prepared in the manner before directed1 in a snuff-mill1 either into a gross or fine powder1 according as you press close or ease the mill-stone4 #cac4 ,method of cleansing ,snuff in order to scent it4 ,fix a thick linen cloth in a little tub that has a hole in the bottom1 stopped with a plug that can easily be taken out1 to let the water run off when wanted4 ,this cloth must cover the whole inside of the tub1 and be fastened all round the rim4 ,put your ,snuff in it1 and pour on the ,water4 ,when it has been steeped twenty-four hours1 let the ,water run out1 and pour on fresh2 repeat this operation three times1 if you would have the ,snuff thoroughly cleansed1 and every time squeeze the ,snuff hard in the cloth1 to discharge the ,water entirely from it4 ,then place your ,snuff on an ozier hurdle covered with a thick linen cloth1 and let it dry in the sun2 when it is thoroughly dry1 put it again into the tub1 with a sufficient quantity of ,angelic1 ,orange ,flower1 or ,rose-water4 ,at the expiration of twenty-four hours take the ,snuff out of the water1 and dry it as before1 frequently stirring it about1 and sprinkling it with the same sweet-scented ,water as was used at first4 ,the whole of this preparation is absolutely necessary to render ,snuff fit to receive the scent of ,flowers4 ,if the ,snuff is not required to be of a very excellent quality1 and you are unwilling to waste more of it than can possibly be avoided1 wash it only once1 and slightly cleanse it4 ,this purgation may the better suffice1 if while drying in the sun1 you take care to knead the ,snuff into a cake several times1 and often sprinkle it with some sweet-scented ,water4 #cad4 ,method of scenting ,snuff4 ,the ,flowers that most readily communicate their flavour to ,snuff are ,orange ,flowers1 ,jasmine1 ,musk ,roses1 and ,tuberoses4 ,you must procure a box lined with dry white paper2 in this strow your ,snuff on the bottom about the thickness of an inch1 over which place a thin layer of ,flowers1 then another layer of ,snuff1 and continue to lay your ,flowers and ,snuff alternately in this manner1 until the box is full4 ,after they have lain together four and twenty hours1 sift your ,snuff through a sieve to separate it from the ,flowers1 which are to be thrown away1 and fresh ones applied in their room in the former method4 ,continue to do this till the ,snuff is sufficiently scented2 then put it into a canister1 which keep close stopped4 #cae4 ,or1 ,put your ,flowers that are placed over each layer of the ,snuff1 between two pieces of white paper pricked full of holes with a large pin1 and sift through a sieve the ,snuff that may happen to get between the papers4 ,to scent the ,snuff perfectly it is necessary to renew the ,flowers four or five times4 ,this method is the least troublesome of the two4 ,a very agreeable scented ,snuff may be made with ,roses1 by taking ,rose-buds1 stripping off the green cup1 and pistil that rises in the middle1 and fixing in its place a ,clove2 being careful not to separate the ,leaves that are closed together4 ,the ,rose-buds thus prepared1 are to be exposed to the heat of the sun a whole month1 inclosed in a glass well stopped1 and are then fit for use4 ,to make ,snuff scented with a thousand ,flowers1 take a number of different ,flowers1 and mix them together1 proportioning the quantity of each ,flower1 to the degree of its perfume1 so that the flavour of no one particular ,flower may be predominant4 #caf4 ,perfumed ,snuff4 ,take some ,snuff1 and rub it in your hands with a little ,civet1 opening the body of the ,civet still more by rubbing it in your hands with fresh ,snuff2 and when you have mixed it perfectly with the ,snuff1 put them into a canister4 ,snuff is flavoured with other perfumes in

double-refined ,sugar1 rub it in a mortar with twenty grains of ,musk2 add by little and little a pound of ,snuff1 and grind the whole with ten grains of ,civet1 rubbing it afterwards well between your hands4 ,seville ,snuff is scented with twenty grains of ,vanilloes only4 ,keep your ,snuff in canisters closely stopped1 to prevent the scent from exhaling4 ,as ,spanish ,snuff is very fine and of a reddish colour1 to imitate it nicely1 take the best ,dutch ,snuff1 well cleansed1 granulated1 and coloured red2 beat it fine1 and sift it through a very fine lawn sieve4 ,after it has been cleansed according to the foregoing directions1 it is fit to take any scent whatever4 ,there is no risk in using a sieve that retains the scent of any ,flower1 to perfume your ,snuff with the flavour of ,musk1 ,ambergrise1 or any other ,perfume4 ,on the contrary1 the ,snuff receives the ,perfume the more readily1 and preserves its flavour the longer on that account4 #cbb4 ,method of dying ,snuff ,red or ,yellow4 ,take the size of a nut or two of ,yellow or ,red ,ochre1 and to temper the colour mix with it a little ,white ,chalk4 ,grind these colours on a marble1 with a little less than half an ounce of ,oil of ,sweet ,almonds1 and moisten with as much ,water as the colour will take up1 till it becomes a smooth ,paste4 ,then mix it with a thin ,mucilage of ,gum ,tragacanth to a proper consistence1 and put it into an earthen dish1 stirring into it about a pint more of ,water4 ,afterwards take any quantity of cleansed ,snuff you please1 throw it upon the colour1 and rub it well between your hands4 ,when the ,paste is thoroughly tinged with the colour1 leave it till next morning to settle1 then spread it thin on a cloth to dry1 and place it in the sun1 stirring it about every now and then that it may dry equally4 ,when dry1 gum it with a very thin ,mucilage of ,gum ,tragacanth made with some sweet-scented ,water4 ,to gum the ,snuff as equally as possible1 wet the palms of your hands with this ,gum ,water1 and rub the ,snuff well between them4 ,afterwards dry it in the sun1 and sift the colour that does not adhere to it through a very fine sieve4 ,the ,snuff is then
