RENNET, for Curdling
Cheese, to Prepare. — Take the
stomach of a calf as soon as it is killed,
and scour inside and out with salt,
after it is cleared of the curd always
found in it. Let it drain a few hours ;
then sew it up with two good handfuls
of salt in it, or stretch it on a stick well
salted, or keep it in the salt wet, and
soak a bit, which will do over and over
again by adding fresh water.
RESIN OINTMENT.— Yel-
low wax, 3 ozs. ; white resin, 6 ozs. ;
hog’s lard, 8 ozs. Melt together slow-
ly, stirring it till it is intimately mixed.
It is very good for bums and scalds,
for dressing blisters, when a discharge
must be kept up for a few days ; it has
a stimulating influence.
RESPIRATION. It is not
every person that knows how to breathe.
Our artificial modes of living, sedentary
habits, cramped attitudes, the constraint
of clothing, weaken and compress the
respiratory organs, and hinder their
development. The breath is shortened,
and life is shortened in consequence.
Animals breathe with the whole body.
Well-developed persons in full health
breathe in the same way. The vivifying
air goes to the bottom of the lungs, and
the entire system seems to swell and
undulate, and sink again at the flow and
ebb of the atrial tide ; but the seam-
stress over her sewing, the editor over
his desk, the sloth who sits on a curve
of his spinal column, the young lady
whose waist is compassed by the smallest
possible girdle, use only the top of the

Jungs in respiration, wearing out that
portion of them, while the lower portion
is left to decay for want of proper exer-
cise. Consumption is most commonly
the result of imperfect respiration ; and
many other evils point back to the same
cause. The throat becomes diseased,
and the voice weak and hollow, so that
utterance is painful to both speaker and
hearer. Let every person who reads
this, watch himself, and see whether
respiration is deep and full, or shallow
and short. If the latter, this is what he
must do : correct his atdtudes, always
sitting erect ; loosen his clothing, so
that there will be plenty of play for the
lower muscles used in the process of
breathing ; and regularly each day exer-
cise those muscles by filling his lungs
and expanding his chest, especially in
the depths of it, by muscular discipline
of the shoulders and arms, by reading
and talking with the lungs well filled,
and by making the respiration at all
times as long and deep as possible.
RESTORATIVE. WINE
BITTERS.— Quassia, J oz. ; golden
seal, 2 drachms ; bitter-root, 2 drachms ;
cayenne pepper, 2 drachms ; whitewood
bark, 2 drachms. Bruise all, and add
1 pint of Hollands gin, and 2 quarts of
wine. A less quantity may be made.
Dose, a table-spoonful or two twice a
day. Remarkably useful in indigestion.
Restorative Wine Bitters✪ Restorative Wine Bitters, Dr.
Thompson's. — Balmony bark, 1 part ;
poplar bark, 5 parts. Boil in water suffi-
cient to strain from 1 lb. 2% gallons of
water, to which add — sugar, 3% lbs. ;
nerve powder, 2% ozs. ; while hot,
strain and add — best Malaga wine, 3)4
gallons ; tincture of meadow-fern, 1
quart ; prickly ash seeds, 1 quart. — A
less quantity may be made. Dose, from
half to a wine-glassful twice a day. —
These bitters are priceless. They are
sure to correct the bile, and create an
appetite, by giving tone to the digestive
powers, and may be freely used, both as
a restorative, and as a preventive of
disease.
