CUSTARD, RICH. — Boil a pint of milk with lemon peel and cinna- mon ; mix a pint of cream and the yolks of five eggs✪ Rich Custard well beaten. When the milk tastes of the seasoning, sweeten it enough for the whole ; pour it into the cream, stirring it well ; then give the custard a simmer till of a proper thick- ness. Do not let it boil ; stir the whole time one way ; season as above. 1 f. to be extremely rich put no milk, but a quart of cream to the eggs. CUTS. — All that is required in cases of incised wounds or cuts, is to clear away the surrounding blood, &c., and bring the lips of the wound closely together, retaining them in that posi- tion by slips of adhesive plaster, and if the cut be deep and extensive, support- ing it and the surrounding parts by proper bandages. In all large wounds, interstices should be left between each slip of plaster, to facilitate the escape of secreted matter, or effused blood. The first dressing should remain for three or four days, and if much pain or inflam- mation follows the accident, gentle pur- gatives should be taken. The bleeding consequent upon wounds may be stopped by pressure and rest. The application of cobweb will arrest the flow of blood. For light cuts with a knife, or any sharp instrument, the Riga balsam usually stops the bleeding immediately. CUTS. — After closing the wound, bind on toasted cheese. — Or pounded grass ; shake it off after twelve hours. D. DAFFY’S ELIXIR.— Take of the best senna, guiscum, liquorice sliced small, aniseeds, coriander seeds, DAI 153 DAN and elecampane root, of each half an ounce ; raisins of the sun, stoned, a quarter of a pound : let them all be bruised and put into a quart of brandy. Let it stand by the fire for a few days, and then strain it. Good for flatulence. DAINTY BISCUITS.— A cup- ful of flour, the whites of four eggs, well beaten, 3 or 4 ozs. of beef suet, chopped fine ; bitter almonds, blanched, and chopped, % oz. ; mix the yolks with six ounces of fine sugar✪ Dainty Biscuits ; mix all with lemon to flavour. Bake in small tins quickly. DAINTY BREAD.— Flour, 6 lbs. ; butter, 6 02s. ; 5 or 6 eggs well beaten ; 1 % pint of milk, and sufficient yeast✪ Dainty Bread. Mix into a paste, and form into rolls or cakes. When risen, bake. When cool, dip in milk, and dry in a Dutch oven before the fire. DAMP WALLS. — Cover with this mixture : — boil 1 quart of linseed oil, 3 ozs. of litharge, and 4 ozs. of resin, and put on four or five coats. Or, line the wall with sheet lead, the thickness of tea lead, and fasten with copper nails. DAMP WALLS. — Boil two quarts of tar, with two ounces of kitchen grease, for a quarter of an hour, in an iron pot. Add some of this to a mixture of slaked lime and powdered glass, passed through a flour-sieve, two parts of lime and one of glass, till the mixture is like thin plaster. It must be used immediately after being mixed, and no more of it should be mixed than will coat one square foot of wall, as it quickly becomes too hard for use. For a wall merely damp, a coating one eighth of an inch thick is sufficient ; but if the wall is wet, there must be a second coat. Plaster made of lime, hair, and plaster of Paris, may after- wards be laid on as a cement.
