keep some time. The meat should be cut with a very sharp
knife, and quite smooth, to prevent waste.

HUNTER'S PUDDING. Mix together a pound of suet, a pound of flour, a
pound of currants, and a pound of raisins stoned and cut. Add the rind
of half a lemon finely shred, six peppercorns in fine powder, four eggs,
a glass of brandy, a little salt, and as much milk as will make it of a
proper consistence. Boil it in a floured cloth, or a melon mould, eight
or nine hours. A spoonful of peach water may sometimes be added to
change the flavour. This pudding will keep six months after it is
boiled, if tied up in the same cloth when cold, and hung up, folded in
writing paper to preserve it from the dust. When to be eaten, it must be
boiled a full hour, and served with sweet sauce.

HYSTERICS. The sudden effusion of water on the face and hands, while the
fit is on, and especially immersing the feet in cold water, will afford
relief. Fetid smells are also proper; such as the burning of feathers,
leather, or the smoke of sulphur, and the application of strong volatile
alkali, or other pungent matters to the nostrils. To effect a radical
cure, the cold bath, mineral waters, and other tonics are necessary. In
Germany however, they cure hysteric affections by eating carraway seeds
finely powdered, with a little ginger and salt, spread on bread and
butter every morning.

ICE FOR ICEING. To prepare artificial ice for articles of confectionary,
procure a few pounds of real ice, reduce it nearly to powder, and throw
a large handful or more of salt amongst it. This should be done in as
cool a place as possible. The ice and salt being put into a pail, pour
some cream into an ice pot, and cover it down. Then immerse it in the
ice, and draw that round the pot, so as to enclose every part of it. In
a few minutes stir it well with a spoon or spatula, removing to the
centre those parts which have iced round the edges. If the ice cream or
water be in a a form, shut the bottom close, and move the whole in the
ice, as a spoon cannot be used for that purpose without danger of waste.
There should be holes in the pail, to let off the ice as it thaws. When
any fluid tends towards cold, moving it quickly will encrease that
tendency; and likewise, when any fluid is tending to heat, stirring it
will facilitate its boiling.

ICE CREAMS. Mix the juice of the fruits with as much sugar as will be
wanted, before the cream is added, and l
