Should these means fail give the Anodyne Powders, page 20. Give also gentle aperients ; and above all, do not neglect to give the Nervous Pill, which is wonderfully efficacious, (page 274.) The aperients may be assist- ed by injections of gruel, % oz. of the tincture of assafeetida, or a table-spoon- ful of spirits of turpentine ; sweeten with treacle. Tonics, as quinine, should be freely given. If the disease arises from obstructed menses, worms, &c., the case must be treated as directed under those complaint*. I ICE, to Procure. — (See Freez- ing Mixture.)— Nearly fill a gallon stone bottle with hot spring water (leaving room for about a pint,) and put in 2 ozs. of refined nitre ; the bottle must be stopped very close, and let down into a deep well. After three or four hours it will be completely frozen ; the bottle must be broken to pro- cure the ice. If the bottle is moved up and down, so as to be sometimes in and sometimes out of the water, the conse- quent evaporation will hasten the pro- cess. ICE CREAM. — Put into a bucket 1 lb. of ice broken very small ; throw two handfuls of salt, among it, and have it in the coolest place you can find. Put the cream into an ice-pot, and cover it ; immerse it in the ice, and draw the ice round the pot, so as to touch every part. In a few minutes put a spatula or spoon in, and stir the parts that ice round the edges to the centre. Stirring quickly increases the cold. There should be holes in the bucket to let out the ice as it thaws. The cream for icing is thus made : — New milk, 1 quart; yolks of 6 eggs; fine sugar, 4 ozs.✪ Ice Cream Mix. Strain. Heat gently, and then cool. ICEING, for Cakes. — Beat the whites of two eggs to a solid froth, add 6 ozs. of finely powdered white sugar ; mix in the juice of a quarter of a lemon✪ Icing for Cakes. Place the cakes before the fire ; pour over them the icing, and smooth over the sides and tops with a knife. Set them to dry at the mouth of a cool oven. ICEING, for Tarts.— Beat the yolk of an egg, and some melted butter✪ Icing for Tarts well together ; wash the tarts with a feather, and sift sugar over them as you put them in the oven. Ice Waters. — Rub some fine sugar upon lemon or orange, to give the colour and flavour, then squeeze the juice of either on its respective peel, add water and sugar to make a fine sherbet, and strain it before it be put into the ice-pot. If orange, the greater propor- tion should be of the China juice, and only a little of Seville, and a small bit of the peel grated by the sugar. Currant or Raspberry Water lea.— The juice of these, or any other ICE 217 IND sort of fruit, being gained by squeezing, sweetened and mixed with water, will be ready for iceing. Ice Creams. — Mix the juice of the fruits with as much sugar as will be wanted, before you add cream, which should be of a middling richness.
