3. Whoever touches a man must

removed into another square, he must
remain there.
4. In case of standing the " huff,” it
is optional with the adversary to take
the man or insist upon him taking his
omitted by the “ huff.”
5. If either party, when it is his
turn to move, hesitates for a longer

6. During a game neither party must

DRINK, Strengthening. — Put
to a cupful of pearl barley, with three
pints of cold water, the rind of a lemon,
and a Small piece of cinnamon. Boil
gently till the barley is tender ; add %
oz. of extract of sarsaparilla, and boil
gently five minutes more. Strain, and
sweeten with honey, or sugar✪ Strengthening Drink. You
may add ginger or cayenne, if flatulent,
or, phlegmatic.
DRINK FOR THE SICK—
Take half an ounce of sugar-candy,
quarter of an ounce of cream of tartar,
and a few lemon and orange chips ;
pour upon them one quart of boiling
water✪ Drink for the Sick. When cold pour off.
DRIPPING, to Clarify— Put
water in a pan, boil, and pour your
dripping✪ Dripping, to Clarify in ; cool, and the dripping
will swim at the top, while all impurities
will sink into the water. Repeat the
process, If it is needful.
DROPSY. — From the Greek,
udor, water, and opsis, an appearance.
It denotes the effusion of water, or
rather serous fluid into any cavity of
the body, or into the cellular tissue
under the skin.
It is indicated by distension of the
belly, difficult breathing, dry skin, im-
moderate thirst, a dry cough, swelling
of the feet and legs, deficient urine, and
deficient perspiration. Observe;
Dropsy is a symptom of disease, rather
than itself a disease, and generally the
original cause is a morbid change in
one or more of the principal organs of
the body, the heart, fiver, or kidneys.
It is caused by a loss of vitality in the
capillary exhalents of the blood vessels,
by which they are deprived of their
elasticity or contractility, consequent
upon the loss of the electric fluid, or the
nervous energy upon which their con-
tractility chiefly depends ; and from a
deficiency of iron in the blood.
Give a vapour bath made of bitter
herbs. (See Vapour Bath) Drink the
Composition Powder tea, sweetened.
Give diuretics, and a pill made of cay-
enne, colocynth and rhubarb : and also
the Diuretic Infusion. Keep up the
perspiration when deficient ; and fo-
ment the body daily with the Stimula-
ting Liniment. The compound extract
of jalap is very effective in evacuating
the water.
