Take 1 pound of red lead, J pound rosin, 1 

 pint linseed oil, 3 table spoonsful lamp black, 2 

 ounces British oil, J ounce sugar of lead finely 

 pulverized. Boil this over a slow fire one hour, 

 then add 1 pint more of linseed oil, and boil 

 another hour, when done add J pint of turpen- 

 tine while cooling off, stir and mix well, do not 

 put the turpentine in when first taken off the 

 fire. Let it cool 5 minutes^ then pour in the 

 turpentine slowly, stirring well. Should it 

 catch on fire while pouring in the turpentine, 

 put a lid or cover over the vessel immediately 

 to smother the fire. There is no danger in 

 making if careful, as it will be easily smothered. 

 Pour out into a new earthen -crock, let cool off, 

 and when cool put into a jar or tin box. There 

 is nothing better than this preparation for 

 wounds, fresh or old boils, and cannot be sur- 

 passed for scalds, burns, &c.
