COMPOUND SPIRITS. 



When these liquors are intended for the toilette, or for retail 

 sale, care must be taken to choose a spirit that has no ill scent; 

 the distillation must be made in a balneum, and the distilled spirit 

 kept for some time in iacool cellar, or rather in an ice-house ; but 

 as the apothecaries use these spirits for medicines they do not 

 consider this care to be necessary, and their usual method is to 

 mix a small quantity of essential oil with proof spirit, and thus 

 avoid the trouble of distilling. The usual dose is 3 ij [to 5 j, and 

 they are universally stimulant.
