403 VEA Vaseline Is now In use In leading Hospitals of America and England, and Is acknowledged to be one of the most Important recent additions to medicine. As a household remedy it is very popu- ar, and its use is extending rapidly.

Dose. — In the affections of the throat, chest and stomach, a half teaspoonful three or four times a day ; for diph- theria, croup, &c., give frequently in smaller or like quantities, and apply externally to the throat. It is also used in the Stable for Horses, Cattle and other beasts. For preserving and lubricating Surgical In- struments, Guns, Pistols, Bicycles, Sewing Machines. Metal oiled with Vaseline cannot rust or corrode. VEAL, to Choose. — The flesh of a bull-calf Is firmest, but not so white. The fillet of the cow-calf is generally preferred for the udder. The whitest Is not the most juicy, having been made so by frequent bleeding, and having had whitening to lick. Choose the meat of which the kidney is well covered with white thick fat. If the bloody vein in the shoulder looks blue, or of a bright red, it is newly killed ; but any other colour shows it stale. The other parts should be dry and white ; if clammy or spotted, the meat is stale and bad. The kidney turns first in the loin, and the suet will not then be firm. VEAL, a la daube. — Cut off the chump end of the loin ; take out the edge-bone ; stuff the hollow with good forcemeat, tie it up tight, and lay it in a stew-pan with the bone you took out, a little fagot of herbs, an anchovy, two blades of mace, a few white peppers, and a pint of good veal broth. Cover the veal with slices of fat bacon, and lay a sheet of white paperVeal a la Daube over it. Cover the pan close, simmer it a hours, then take out the bacon, and glaze the veal. — Serve it on mushrooms ; or with sorrel-sauce, or what else you please. VEAL BROTH.— Stew a small knuckle in about 3 quarts of water, a ozs. of rice, a little salt, and a blade of mace, till the liquor is half wasted away. VEAL BROTH.— Knuckle of veal, a turnips, a carrots, a heads of celery, and 6 onions ; stew them in a gallon of water till reduced to one half ; add a lump of butter rolled in flour, with a little cayenne, and salt ; strain, and add a gill of cream ; a ozs. of vermicelli may be added with good effect.
