BRONCHIAL AFFECTIONS, To Relieve. — Persons suffering
from bronchitis will find great relief by inhaling the steam of hot water into
which has been dropped a little ether, or a spoonful of ordinary medicine
for relieving the complaint. Much benefit will also be experienced by
keeping a kettle of water constantly boiling over the fire and allowing the
steam to flow freely into the room. A cheap and easy method of obtaining
this result is by attaching a foot of tin tubing to the spout of the kettle.
BRONZE, To Renovate and Re-colour. — Free the articles from all
dust and grease and apply with a cloth a mixture of one part of muriatic
acid and two parts of water. When dry, polish with sweet oil.
BRONZING FOR ZINC OR TIN CASTINGS.— Dissolve
one ounce of sulphate of iron and one ounce of sulphate of copper in a pint
of water ; apply to the surfaces of the articles and let them dry. Then dis-

solve two ounces of verdigris in a gill of strong vinegar; apply, and,
when dry, polish with a soft brush and plumbago or crocus martis
(colcothar).
BROSE (SCOTCH). — Put half a pint of oatmeal into a porringer,
with a little salt if necessary ; add as much of the liquor in which meat has
been boiled as will make it the consistence of hasty pudding, or a little
thicker ; then take some of the fat that swims on the broth, put it on the
crowdie, and eat in the same way as hasty pudding.
BRUISES OR ULCERS. — The application of tincture of opium
is highly recommended for either of the above.
The following is also a good application for bruises : — Iodine, twelve
grains ; lard or spermaceti ointment, half an ounce. To be rubbed on
two or three times a day.
BRUNSWICK BLACK. — Melt one pound of common asphaltum
and add half a pint of linseed oil and one quart of oil of turpentine. This
may be thinned down to any extent by adding more turpentine.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS, To Cook. — Put them into boiling
water with a small piece of soda, let them boil for a quarter of an hour,
then add a little salt, and boil ten minutes longer. Drain, and serve with
melted butter✪ Brussels Sprouts, To Cook.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS, To Grow. — A good rich soil is indis-
pensable to the growth of these fine winter greens. Sow the seed thinly
the second week in March, and for succession about the middle of April.
When sufficiently strong, plant them out in rows two feet apart and
eighteen inches from plant to plant.
BUBBLE AND SQUEAK. — Cut some cold boiled beef into
slices, sprinkle them with pepper, and fry in a little butter to a light brown.
Boil a cabbage, or a cauliflower, squeeze it dry, chop it small, and fry it
for a few moments with a little salt✪ Bubble and Squeak. When done, serve the cabbage in
the middle of the dish and lay the slices of beef round.
BUGS, To Destroy. — The application of a little petroleum or
paraffin to their resorts will effectually destroy these house vermin ; or a
small quantity of turpentine or corrosive sublimate applied with a brush to
the crevices of the furniture will produce the desired result.
BULBS, To Force at any Season. — Half fill a flower-pot with
quicklime, then fill it up with fine mould, plant the bulb, and keep the
earth constantly moist.
