cool it in a basin, then pour it into a dish
well buttered, and bake it half an hour. Turn it out of the dish before
it is sent to table, sift some fine sugar over it, and lay a Seville
orange round it cut in pieces, and squeeze the juice upon it.

TAPIOCA JELLY. Choose the largest sort, pour on cold water to wash in
two or three times, and then soak it in fresh water five or six times.
Simmer it in the same until it become quite clear, with a bit of lemon
peel. Then add lemon juice, wine, and sugar.

TAPIOCA PUDDING. Wash six spoonfuls of the large kind of tapioca, and
stew it gently in a quart of milk till it is pretty thick. Let it stand
uncovered to cool. Add two eggs well beaten with some salt, and sugar to
the taste. Bake it with a crust round the edge of a dish, in a moderate
oven, for an hour.

TAR WATER. Pour a gallon of cold water on a quart of tar, and stir and
mix them thoroughly with a ladle or flat stick, for the space of three
or four minutes; after which the vessel must stand forty-eight hours,
that the tar may have time to subside; when the clear water is to be
poured off, and kept for use, no more being made from the same tar,
which may still serve for common purposes. The general rule for taking
it is, about half a pint night and morning, on an empty stomach, which
quantity may be varied according to the case and age of the patient;
provided it be always taken on an empty stomach, and about two hours
before or after a meal. Tar water cures indigestion, and gives a good
appetite. It is an excellent medicine in an asthma; it imparts a kindly
warmth, and quick circulation to the juices, without heating, and is
therefore useful, not only as a pectoral and balsamic, but also as a
powerful and a safe deobstruent in cachectic and hysteric cases. As it
is both healing and diuretic, it is very good for the gravel. It is
believed to be of great use in a dropsy, having been known to cure a
very bad anasarca in a person whose thirst, though very extraordinary,
was in a short time removed by the drinking of tar water. It is also
believed to be the best and safest medicine, either for preventing the
gout, or for so strengthening nature against the fit, as to drive it
from the vitals. It may likewise be safely used in inflammatory cases;
and, in fact, hath been found an admirable febrifuge, at once the safest
cooler and cordial. The salts and more active spirits of tar are got by
infusion in cold water; but
