PLAICE. — Sprinkle with salt,
and keep 24 hours ; then wash and wipe
dry ; wet it over with egg, and cover
with crumbs of bread ; take some lard,
or fine dripping, and two table-spoonfuls
of vinega✪ Plaicer, boiling hot ; lay the fish in,
and fry it a fine colour ; drain it from
the fat, and serve with fried parsley
round, and anchovy sauce.
PLASTER, Adhesive. — Take
of common plaster, half a pound; of
Burgundy pitch, a quarter of a pound.
Melt them together. This plaster is
generally used for keeping on other
dressings.
PLASTER, Anodyne. See
page 20.
PLASTER, Blistering. — Take
of Venice turpentine, six ounces ; yellow
wax, two ounces ; Spanish flies, in fine
powder, three ounces ; powdered mus-
tard, one ounce. Melt the wax, and
while it is warm, add to it the tur-
pendne, taking care not to evaporate it
by too much heat. After the turpentine
and wax are sufficiently incorporated,
sprinkle in the powders, continually
sdrring the mass till it be cold.
PLASTER, Common.— Take of
common olive oil, six pints ; litharge,
reduced to a fine powder, lbs.
Boil the litharge and oil together over a
gentle fire continually stirring them,

and keeping always half a gallon of !
water in the vessel ; after they • have
boiled three hours, a little of the plaster
may be put in cold water, to try if it be
of a proper consistence ; then cool, and
press the water well out of it.
This water is applied in slight wounds
and excoriations of the skin; it keeps
the part soft and warm, and defends it
from the air, which is all that is neces-
sary in such cases.
PLASTER FIGURES, to
Bronze. — For the ground, after it
has been sized and rubbed down, take
Persian blue, verditer, and spruce ochre.
Grind them separately in water, turpen-
tine, or oil, according to the work, and
mix them in such proportion as will pro-
duce the colour desired. Then grind
Dutch metal on a part of the composi-
tion; laying it with judgment on the
prominent part of the figure, which pro-
duces a fine effect.
PLASTER, Gum. — Take of the
common plaster, four pounds ; of gum
ammoniac and galbanum, strained, of
each, half a pound. Melt them to-
gether, and add, of Venice turpentine,
six ounces. This plaster is used as a
digestive, and likewise for discussing
indolent tumours.
PLASTER for the Stomach. —
Take of gum plaster, half a pound ;
camphorated oil, an ounce and a half ;
10 drops each of the oil of mace, and
mint ; black pepper, or cayenne, 1 oz.
Melt the plaster, and mix with it the
oil; then sprinkle in the pepper, re-
duced to a fine powder.
This, spread upon soft leather, and
applied to the region of the stomach,
will be of service in flatulencies arising
from hysteric and hypochondriac affec-
tions. A few drops of oil of mint, may
be rubbed upon it before it is applied.
PLASTER, Warm.— Take of
gum plaster, one ounce ; blistering
plaster, two drachms ; melt them over
a gentle fire. This plaster is useful in
the sciatica, and also in rheumatic pains.
Should it blister, use less of the blister-
ing paste. Renew after 8 days.
It ought, however, to be worn for
some time, and to be renewed at least
once a week. ' j.
