70 THE TOILET 



March, into a glafs body, with a gallon 

 of ftrong Spirit of Wine : bruife the Hya- 

 cinths, Violets, Orrice, and Mace ; and 

 towards the end of April, add the Jonquils, 

 when in their perfedion, that is to fay, 

 when full blown. A few days after, put 

 in the Wall Flowers, the Petals only ; 

 then add the Lilies of the Valley, carefully 

 picked, and fliake all the ingredients well : 

 Eight days after having put in this lad 

 Flower, empty the infufion into an alem- 

 bic, lute on a head and receiver, which 

 muil be placed in cold water, and diftil 

 in a water bath, with a gentle fire. From 

 the above quantity three quarts of excel- 

 lent Spirit may be drawn off, that juftly 

 deferves the appellation of the Spring 

 Nofegay.
