of new milk warmed, a beaten new laid egg, with a spoonful of capillaire, and the same of rose water. * * * * * A REFRESHING DRINK. Cut four large apples in slices, and pour over a quart of boiling water, let them stand till cold, strain the liquor, and sweeten with white sugar; a little lemon peel put with the apples improves the flavour. * * * * * A VERY FINE EMMOLIENT DRINK. Wash and rinse extremely well one ounce of pearl barley, then put to it one ounce of sweet almonds beaten fine, and a piece of lemon peel, boil together till the liquor is of the thickness of cream and perfectly smooth, then put in a little syrup of lemon and capillaire. * * * * * A COOLING DRINK IN FEVER. Put a little tea-sage, and a couple of sprigs of balm into a jug, with a lemon thinly sliced, and the peel cut into strips, pour over a quart of boiling water, sweeten and let it cool. APPENDIX.

If required very thick, a larger proportion of chocolate must be used. * * * * * EGG WINE. Beat a fresh egg, and add it to a tumbler of white wine and water, sweetened and spiced; set it on the fire, stir it gently one way until it thickens; this, with toast, forms a light nutritive supper. * * * * * MULLED WINE.
