HONEY. The honey produced by young bees, and which flows spontaneously,
is purer than that expressed from the comb; and hence it is called
virgin honey. The best sort is of a thick consistence, and of a whitish
colour, inclining to yellow: it possesses an agreeable smell, and a
pleasant taste. When the combs are removed from the hive, they are taken
by the hand into a sieve, and left to drain into a vessel sufficiently
wide for the purpose. After it has stood a proper time to settle, the
pure honey is poured into earthen jars, tied down close to exclude the
air.

HONEY VINEGAR. When honey is extracted from the combs, by means of
pressure, take the whole mass, break and separate it, and into each tub
or vessel put one part of combs, and two of water. Set them in the sun,
or in a warm place, and cover them with cloths. Fermentation takes place
in a few days, and continues from eight to twelve days, according to the
temperature of the situation in which the operation is carried on.
During the fermentation, stir the matter from time to time, and press it
down with the hand, that it may be perfectly soaked. When the
fermentation is over, put the matter to drain on sieves or strainers. At
the bottom of the vessels will be found a yellow liquor, which must be
thrown away, because it would soon contract a disagreeable smell, which
it would communicate to the vinegar. Then wash the tubs, put into them
the water separated from the other matter, and it will immediately begin
to turn sour. The tubs must then be covered again with cloths, and kept
moderately warm. A pellicle or skin is formed on the surface, beneath
which the vinegar acquires strength. In a month's time it begins to be
sharp, but must be suffered to stand a little longer, and then put into
a cask, of which the bunghole is to be left open. It may then be used
like any other vinegar. All kinds of vinegar may be strengthened by
suffering it to be repeatedly frozen, and then separating the upper cake
of ice or water from it.

HOOPING COUGH. This disorder generally attacks children, to whom it
often proves fatal for want of proper management. Those who breathe an
impure air, live upon poor sustenance, drink much warm tea, and do not
take sufficient exercise, are most subject to this convulsive cough. In
