rter of a pint of good milk. Two spoonfuls of cream, and a little
ground rice, will give it a proper thickness. The meat and the soup may
both be served together.--Another. Take a scrag or knuckle of veal,
slices of undressed gammon of bacon, onions, mace, and simmer them in a
small quantity of water, till it is very strong. Lower it with a good
beef broth made the day before, and stew it till the meat is done to
rags. Add cream, vermicelli, a roll, and almonds.

WHITE WINE WHEY. Set on the fire half a pint of new milk; the moment it
boils up, pour in as much sound raisin wine as will completely turn it,
and until it looks clear. Let it boil up, then set the saucepan aside
till the curd subsides, and do not stir it. Pour the whey off, add to it
half a pint of boiling water, and a little lump sugar. The whey will
thus be cleared of milky particles, and may be made to any degree of
weakness.

WHITINGS. These may be had almost at any time, but are chiefly in season
during the first three months of the year. In choosing them, the
firmness of the body and fins is chiefly to be looked to; and in places
where there is no regular supply of fish, it will be found an
accommodation to dry them for keeping. The largest are best for this
purpose. Take out the gills, the eyes, and the entrails, and remove the
blood from the backbone. Wipe them dry, salt the inside, and lay them on
a board for the night. Hang them up in a dry place, and after three or
four days they will be fit to eat. When to be dressed, skin and rub
them over with egg, and cover them with bread crumbs. Lay them before
the fire, baste with butter till sufficiently browned, and serve them
with egg sauce.

WHITLOWS. As soon as the disorder is apparent, the finger affected is to
be plunged into warm water, or the steam of boiling water may be applied
to it. The application must be very frequently repeated the first day,
and the complaint will soon be dispersed. Unfortunately however it is
too generally supposed, that such slight attacks can have only slight
consequences, and hence they are too apt to be neglected till the
complaint has considerably increased. But in this state no time should
be lost in resorting to skilful advice, as the danger attending these
small tumours is much greater than is usually imagined.

WHOLE RICE PANCAKES. Stew half a pound of whole rice in water till it is
very tender, and let it stand in a basin to cool. Break it small, put to
