g water;
then add two quarts of fresh cold water and one-twelfth part of a bottle
of Nelson's Essence of Lemon. The above quantity of sugar may be
increased or decreased according to taste.

GINGERADE.

Crush an ounce of whole ginger, pour over it a quart of boiling water,
cover the vessel, and let the infusion stand until cold. (The Extract of
Ginger may be used in place of this infusion). Strain through flannel;
add a teaspoonful of Nelson's Citric Acid, six drops of Nelson's Lemon
Flavouring, and a quarter of a pound of lump sugar; stir until
dissolved, and the Gingerade will be ready.

AN EXTRACT OF GINGER FOR FAMILY USE.

An Extract of Ginger made as follows is most useful for family purposes,
and can be substituted for the infusion in Gingerade. Crush half-a-pound
of fine whole ginger in the mortar, or cut into small pieces. Put into a
bottle with half-a-pint of unsweetened gin, let it stand for a month,
shaking it occasionally, then drain it off into another bottle, allowing
it to stand until it has become clear, when it will be fit for use.

LEMON SYRUP.

Boil a pound of fine loaf sugar in a pint-and-a-half of water. Remove
all scum as it rises, and continue boiling gently until the syrup begins
to thicken and assumes a golden tinge, then add a pint of strained
lemon-juice or a packet of Nelson's Citric Acid dissolved in water, and
allow both to boil together for half-an-hour. Pour the syrup into a jug,
to each pint add one-twelfth part of a bottle of Nelson's Essence of
Lemon, and when cold bottle and cork well.

The juice of Seville oranges may be made into a syrup in the same way as
that of lemons, or lemon and orange juice may be used in equal
quantities. These syrups are useful for making summer drinks, and for
invalids as lemonade or orangeade.

MILK BEVERAGE.

A very agreeable and useful beverage is made by dissolving a quarter of
an ounce of Nelson's Gelatine in a pint of milk. A spoonful of cream
can, if preferred, be used with a bottle of soda-water. For invalids,
this beverage can be used instead of tea or coffee, and may be
preferable in many cases on account of the nourishment it contains; it
will also be found an excellent substitute, taken hot, for wine-whey, or
posset, as a remedy for a cold. For summer use, Milk Beverage is
delicious, and may be flavoured with raspberry or strawberry syrup. If
on standing it should thicken, it will only be necessary briskly to beat
it up with
