FOR WHITE SWELLINGS. 



Take 1 handful of mullin leaves and J pint 

 of old rye whiskey; hoil these together and 

 strain, then add 1 gill of turpentine and 2 gills 

 of spirits of camphor. Bathe well until all the 

 swelling and soreness has left, wrap with flan- 

 nel which should he dampened with the lotion; 

 this is a certain remedy. 



TO KEEP CIDER SWEET. 



Make the cider as late in the fall as possible 

 from solid apples, without using any water, put 

 away immediately from the press, and lay it in 

 some place where it may remain quiet, let the 

 place be as cool as possible. Fill the barrel up 

 full, take the bung out and leave it out for four 

 days, filling it up occasionally as it settles or 

 works out. Should the cider stop working un- 

 der 4 days, rack it off carefully from the dregs, 

 which should be done as soon as the cider stops
