FUMIGATING PASTILLES. 



In compounding fumigating pastilles, only those ingredients 

 should be used that yield a sweet scent upon being burned, as am- 

 bergris, cascarilla, copal of rhus copallinum, calamus aromaticus, 

 yellow Sanders, wood aloes, gum ivy, star anise seed : musk, so 

 commonly employed, is worse than useless, as it yields a very 

 disagreeable smell when burned, as does also civette. — Benzoin

8NUFF.

 not be beaten to too fine a powder ; soak in three or four waters 

 and strain, the last time with strong expression, then dry in the 

 sun : moisten the snuff again with rose water, orange flower water.
