ur, a little grated lemon peel,
some nutmeg, half a spoonful of brandy, a little loaf-sugar, and one
egg. Fry it enough, but not brown; beat it in a mortar with five eggs,
whites and yolks. Put a quantity of lard in a fryingpan; and when quite
hot, drop a dessert-spoonful of batter at a time, and turn them as they
brown. Send the puffs to table quickly, with sweet sauce.

LIME WATER. Pour two gallons of water upon a pound of fresh-burnt lime;
and when the ebullition ceases, stir it up well, and let it stand till
the lime is settled. Filter the liquor through paper, and keep it for
use closely stopped. It is chiefly used for the gravel, in which case a
pint or more may be drunk daily. For the itch, or other diseases of the
skin, it is to be applied externally.

LINEN. Linen in every form is liable to all the accidents of mildew,
iron moulds, ink spots, and various other stains, which prove highly
injurious, if not speedily removed. In case of mildew, rub the part well
with soap, then scrape and rub on some fine chalk, and lay the linen out
to bleach. Wet it a little now and then, and repeat the operation if
necessary. Ink spots and iron moulds may be removed, by rubbing them
with the salt of sorrel, or weak muriatic acid, and laying the part over
a teapot or kettle of boiling water, so that it may be affected by the
steam. Or some crystals of tartar powdered, and half the quantity of
alum, applied in the same manner, will be found to extract the spots.
The spirits of salts diluted with water, will remove iron moulds from
linen; and sal ammoniac with lime, will take out the stains of wine.
Fruit stains may generally be removed by wetting the part with water,
and exposing it to the fumes of brimstone. When ink has been suddenly
spilled on linen, wet the place immediately with the juice of sorrel or
lemon, or with vinegar, and rub it with hard white soap. Or add to the
juice a little salts, steam the linen over boiling water, and wash it
afterwards in ley. If ink be spilled on a green tablecloth or carpet,
the readiest way is to take it up immediately with a spoon, and by
pouring on fresh water, while the spoon is constantly applied, the
stains will soon be removed. Scorched linen may be restored by means of
the following application. Boil two ounces of fuller's earth, an ounce
of hen's dung, half an ounce of soap, and the juice of two onions, in
half a pint of vinegar, till reduced to a good consistency. Spread the
