TOOTH TINCTURE. — Mix 6
ounces of tincture of Peruvian bark with
half an ounce of sal-ammoniac, .shake
them well a few minutes, every time,
before the tincture is used. The method
of using it is, to take a teaspoonful and
hold it near the teeth ; then, with a
finger dipped in, rubbing the gums and
teeth, which are afterward to be washed
with warm water. This tincture not
only cures the toothache, but preserves
both the teeth and gums, and makes
them adhere to each other.
TOOTH WASHES.— Tincture
of myrrh, diluted with water, and cam-
phorated spirits. Or, a solution of
borax and camphorated spirit com-
bined.
TRACING PAPER.— Use
Canada balsam dissolved in spirits of
wine, and a little turpentine. Apply
with a soft brush, or sponge, and hang
up to dry. The best tissue paper
should be used.
TREACLE BEER.— Take 4
lbs. of treacle, 2 ozs. of hops, and %
oz. of ginger bruised. Pour upon the
same 4 gallons of boiling water. Fer-
ment with a small cupful of yeast✪ Treacle Beer.
TREACLE PARKIN. — Oat-
meal, 4 lbs. ; flour, 1 lb. ; butter, 1 lb. ;
treacle, 4 lbs. ; sugar, 1 lb. ; ginger,
oz. ; sweet pepper, 1 oz. ; caraway
seeds, r oz. ; carbonate of soda, 3 tea-
spoonfuls. Add half a cupful of cream✪ Treacle Parkin,
which with the treacle, sugar, and
butter, must be well rubbed into the
meal and flour. Warm the treacle and
sugar in the oven, and mix well. — See
Parkin, page 293.
TREACLE POSSET.— Boil a
small basinful of milk, and put in
treacle enough to curdle it✪ Treacle Posset. Drink it
on retiring to bed. It generally cures a
severe cold by producing profuse per-
spiration, and dispelling the fever of the
patient.
TREACLE PUDDING.
Make the paste as for other boiled pud-
dings, adding treacle, and small raisins,
(or without,) according to taste.✪ Treacle Pudding Boil
in a cloth three hours. Serve with
sweetened melted butter.
TREES AND PLANTS,
Longevity of.— It is quite difficult
to obtain reliable facts from observation
in regard to the age of trees, because
some species live hundreds and thou-
sands of years, and must therefore be
watched by many generations of men in
order to ascertain their exact age. It is
therefore customary to count the rings
that are formed in the growth of trees
that attain to great age.
On this subject Hufeland writes as
follows :
“ Plants may all, however, be reduced,
according to tneir duration cf life, into
three principal classes : annual, or pro-
perly only semi-annual, which grow up
in spring and die in autumn ; biennial,
which die at the end of the second year ;
and, lastly, perennial, the duration of
which extends from four to a thousand
years.
