ache
should beware of costiveness: their drink should be diluting, and their
feet and legs kept warm. It is very obvious, that as many disorders
arise from taking cold in the head, children should be inured to a light
and loose covering in their infancy, by which means violent headaches
might be prevented in mature age: and the maxim of keeping the feet
warm and the head cool, should be strictly attended to.

HEAD AND PLUCK. Whether of lamb or mutton, wash the head clean, take the
black part from the eyes, and the gall from the liver. Lay the head in
warm water; boil the lights, heart, and part of the liver; chop them
small, and add a little flour. Put it into a saucepan with some gravy,
or a little of the liquor it was boiled in, a spoonful of ketchup, a
small quantity of lemon juice, cream, pepper, and salt. Boil the head
very white and tender, lay it in the middle of the dish, and the mince
meat round it. Fry the other part of the liver with some small bits of
bacon, lay them on the mince meat, boil the brains the same as for a
calf's head, beat up an egg and mix with them, fry them in small cakes,
and lay them on the rim of the dish. Garnish with lemon and parsley.

HEART BURN. Persons subject to this disorder, ought to drink no stale

or any other stomachic bitter; or a tea-spoonful of the powder of gum
arabic dissolved in a little water, or chew a few sweet almonds
blanched. An infusion of anise seeds, or ginger, have sometimes produced
the desired effect.

HEDGE HOG. Make a cake of any description, and bake it in a mould the

or two. Prick it with a fork, and let it remain all night in a dish full
of sweet wine. Slit some blanched almonds, and stick about it, and pour
boiled custard in the dish round it.

HERB PIE. Pick two handfuls of parsley from the stems, half the quantity
of spinach, two lettuces, some mustard and cresses, a few leaves of
borage, and white beet leaves. Wash and boil them a little, drain and
press out the water, cut them small; mix a batter of flour, two eggs
well beaten, a pint of cream, and half a pint of milk, and pour it on
the herbs. Cover with a good crust, and bake it.

HERB TEA. If betony be gathered and dried before it begins to flower, it
will be found to have the taste of tea, and all its good qualities,
without any of its bad on
