d nutmeg, is often prescribed for
invalids recovering from a fever.

BREAD PANADA.

Put three gills of water and one tablespoonful of white sugar on the
fire, and just before it boils add two tablespoonfuls of the crumbs of
stale white bread, stir it well, and let it boil three or four
minutes, then add one glass of white wine, a grated lemon and a little
nutmeg; let it boil up once, then remove it from the fire, and keep it
closely covered until it is wanted for use.

SLIPPERY-ELM TEA.

Put a teaspoonful of powdered slippery-elm into a tumbler, pour cold
water upon it, and season with lemon and sugar.

TOAST WATER, OR CRUST COFFEE.

Take stale pieces of crusts of bread, the end pieces of the loaf,
toast them a nice, dark brown, care to be taken that they do not burn
in the least, as that affects the flavor. Put the browned crusts into
a large milk pitcher, and pour enough boiling water over to cover
them; cover the pitcher closely, and let steep until cold. Strain, and
sweeten to taste; put a piece of ice in each glass.

This is also good, drank warm with cream and sugar, similar to coffee.

PLAIN MILK TOAST.

Cut a thin slice from a loaf of stale bread, toast it very quickly,
sprinkle a little salt over it, and pour upon it three tablespoonfuls
of boiling milk or cream. Crackers split and toasted in this manner,
are often very grateful to an invalid.

LINSEED TEA.

Put one tablespoonful of linseed into a stewpan with half a pint of
cold water; place the stewpan over a moderate fire, and when the water
is quite warm, pour it off, and add to the linseed half a pint of
fresh cold water, then let the whole boil three or four minutes;
season it with lemon and sugar.

POWDERS FOR CHILDREN.

A very excellent carminative powder for flatulent infants may be kept
in the house, and employed with advantage whenever the child is in
pain or griped, dropping five grains of oil of anise-seed and two of
peppermint on half an ounce of lump sugar, and rubbing it in a mortar,
with a drachm of magnesia, into a fine powder. A small quantity of
this may be given in a little water at any time, and always with
benefit.

FOR CHILDREN TEETHING.

Tie a quarter of a pound of wheat flour in a thick cloth and boil it
in one quart of water for three hours; then remove the cloth and
expose the flour to the air or heat until it is hard and dry; grate
from it, when wanted, one tablespoonful, which put into half a pint
