soft liquid liniment. Where there are feverish appearances, as is often
the case in the summer season, a proper quantity of blood may sometimes
be taken away with great benefit, and a strong purge be afterwards

turpentine, one pound of litharge in powder, and two or three pints of
linseed oil. The umbrella is then to be brushed over with the varnish,

UNIVERSAL CEMENT. To an ounce of gum mastic add as much highly rectified
spirits of wine as will dissolve it. Soak an ounce of isinglass in water
until quite soft, then dissolve it in pure rum or brandy, until it forms
a strong glue, to which add about a quarter of an ounce of gum ammoniac
