tuting the proper ingredients instead of vermillion.

MANGOES. Cut off the tops of some large green cucumbers, take out the
seeds, and wipe them dry. Fill them with mustard-seed, horseradish,
sliced onion, ginger, and whole pepper. Sow on the tops, put the mangoes
into a jar, cover them with boiling vinegar, and do them the same as any
other pickle. Melons are done in the same way.

MARIGOLD WINE. Boil three pounds and a half of lump sugar in a gallon of
water, put in a gallon of marigold flowers, gathered dry and picked from
the stalks, and then make it as for cowslip wine. If the flowers be
gathered only a few at a time, measure them when they are picked, and
turn and dry them in the shade. When a sufficient quantity is prepared,
put them into a barrel, and pour the sugar and water upon them. Put a
little brandy into the bottles, when the wine is drawn off.

MARMALADE. For a cough or cold, take six ounces of Malaga raisins, and
beat them to a fine paste, with the same quantity of sugarcandy. Add an
ounce of the conserve of roses, twenty-five drops of oil of vitriol, and
twenty drops of oil of sulphur. Mix them well together, and take a small
tea-spoonful night and morning.

MARROW BONES. Cover the top of them with a floured cloth, boil and serve
them with dry toast.

MARSHMALLOW OINTMENT. Take half a pound of marshmallow roots, three
ounces of linseed, and three ounces of fenugreek seed; bruise and boil
them gently half an hour in a quart of water, and then add two quarts of
sweet oil. Boil them together till the water is all evaporated, and
strain off the oil. Add a pound of bees' wax, half a pound of yellow
rosin, and two ounces of common turpentine. Melt them together over a
slow fire, and keep stirring till the ointment is cold.

MASHED PARSNIPS. Boil the roots tender, after they have been wiped
clean. Scrape them, and mash them in a stewpan with a little cream, a
good piece of butter, pepper and salt.

MASHED POTATOES. Boil the potatoes, peel them, and reduce them to paste.
Add a quarter of a pint of milk to two pounds weight, a little salt, and
two ounces of butter, and stir it all well together over the fire. They
may either be served up in this state, or in scallops, or put on the
dish in a form, and the top browned with a salamander.

MATTRASSES. Cushions, mattrasses, and bed clothes stuffed with wool, are
particularly liable to be impregnated with what is offensive and
injurious, from
