 ounce and a half of Purwds*, in powder. 



The cloth and colouring ingredients are continued 

 on the fire, with a gentle heat, gradually increased, 

 for about three hours. Towards the end, the water ' 

 is made to boil strongly. By taking up a little of 

 the water, and examining its colour, as it is dropped 

 in the vessel, they judge of the success of the pro-

 the Lytbrum ; the divisions of the calyx with the Ginora. Lin - -
