salt of wormwood ; this will restore the beer, and make it sparkle when poured into a glass like bottled porter. “STAMMERING,” Dr. Tur- ner says, “is caused by attempts to speak with empty lungs. In singing, the lungs are kept well inflated, and there is no stuttering. The method of cure is to require the patient to keep his lungs well filled ; to draw frequent and long breaths, to speak loudly, and to pause on the instant of finding em- barrassment in his speech, taking ajlong inspiration before he goes on again. I cured one of the worst cases I ever knew on this principle.” STAMMERING. — Frequently read aloud with the teeth closed, and tap with the finger at every syllable pronounced. STARCH GLOSS.— Is simply borax, finely powdered. STEAM JOINTS, Red Putty for. — Stiff white lead worked well in red lead powder and litharge. STEEL POWDER. — Take filings of steel and loaf sugar, of each, 2 ozs. ; ginger, 2 drachms. Pound them together. In obstructions of the menses, and for strengthening the con- stitution, this powder is valuable. Take a teaspoonful twice a day. STEEL FORKS, to Clean.— Fill a small oyster barrel with fine gravel, brick-dust, or sand, mixed with a little hay or moss : make it damp, press it well down, and always keep it damp. By running the prongs of the forks a few times into this, they will be cleaned and polished. To polish be- tween the prongs have a small stick shaped like a knife, covered with leather. STE 373 STO and use emery pov/der. Emery powder might be mixed with the sand in the barrel to render it more efficient in knife cleaning. STEEL, to Preserve from Rust. — Rub it well with a little sweet oil and Bath brick ; wipe it very dry ; warm the article at the fire, and mb it over with virgin wax. STEW. — In a jar of cold water put a shin of beef ; put in salt, a few cloves, pepper, onions, celery, savoury herbs, &c. Put it into a slow oven the night before, and simmer till noon. Serve with toasted bread. STEWED CELERY.— Clean the heads thoroughly, take off the coarse green outer leaves, cut in small pieces, and stew in a little broth. When ten- der, add some rich cream, and a little flour and butter, enough to thicken the cream. Season with pepper, salt, and a little nutmeg, if that is agreeable. STEWED CELERY.— Cut up in small pieces, cover with cold water, cook from twenty-five to thirty minutes. When done pour off what water is not needed into the soup or stock kettle. Rub two tablespoonfuls of flour into three tablespoonfuls of butter; add half a cup of cream or rich milk ; boil five minutes, and serve hot. STIMULATING ANO- DYNE.— Sulphate of quinine, 12 grs. ; sulphate of morphine, I gr. ; mix, and divide] into 6 powders. Dose — one powder every hour. Prof. King, of Cincinnati, Ohio, says that from 2 to 4 powders of this anodyne will produce sleep in whisky delirium. STIMULATING FOMENT- ATION.— Cayenne pepper, 3 ozs. ; mustard seed, just bruised, 2 ozs. ; whiskey, a quarts. Simmer all to- gether a few minutes. Excellent ex- ternal application in cholera, paralysis, palsy, rheumatism, &c. A less quantity may be made. STIMULATING INJEC- TION. — Take lobelia infiata, 1 drachm, red pepper, # drachm. Make with these an infusion, sweeten, intro- duce from half a pint to a pint. This injection is sometimes employed In very obstinate cases of costiveness, bilious and painters' colic, strangulated or Incarcerated hernia, and similar affections. STIMULATING LINI- MENT.— Cayenne, oz. ; salt, I tablespoonful ; spirits of wine, 2 ozs. ; camphor, J^oz. ; spirits of turpentine, Va, pint. Bottle, and shake now and then during 1 day. Then add a pint of vinegar. — It is excellent for sponging the body in cases of pain, debility, in- flammation, rheumatism, gout, sore throat, numbness, neuralgia, &c. STINGS of BEES.— Rub the place with the newly-pressed juice of the honeysuckle. Or, wet it with ex- tract of lead, (the liquor plumbi of the shops) and keep a rag soaked in the ex- tract on the puncture a short time. Hartshorn, spirits of wine, or a solution of sal-ammoniac, are sometimes effect- ually used. STITCH in the Side.— Apply treacle spread on brown paper.
