promoting digestion. It is valuable in
bilious and liver complaints. — See Rob -
imon's Herbal.
IRISH STEW. — Cut off the fat
of part of a loin of mutton, and cut it
Into chops. Pare, wash, and slice very
thin some potatoes, two onions, and two
small carrots ; season with pepper, and
salt. Cover with water✪ Irish Stew in a stew-pan,
and stew gently till the meat is tender,
and the potatoes are dissolved in the
gravy. It may be made of beef-steaks,
or mutton and beef mixed.
IRON-MOULD, to Remove.
Rub the iron-mould part with a little
oxalic acid, or salts of lemon, dissolved
in warm water. After remaining ten
minutes, rinse well in warm and then
cold water. — Or apply a mixture of milk
and salt.
IRON AND STEEL, to Pre-
vent from Rusting. — Fat oil var-
nish one part, and rectified spirits of
turpentine, three parts, intimately mix-
ed, and applied with a sponge.
Camphor, lard, and black lead, mixed,
applied, and after two |days wiped off,
will preserve from rust. Or smear
over the iron, or metal hardware, &c.
with melted mutton-suet, and dust with
powdered unslaked lime. For bright
parts of machinery to be sent abroad,
use tallow and white lead.
Brown paper is a good preservative
from rust. Hence all Sheffield and
Birmingham hardware, cutlery, &c., are
wrapped in glazed brown paper.
IRON AND STEEL to Clean.
— Fine flour of emery, 2 ozs. ; soft soap,
1 oz. made into a paste ; rub the articles
with the paste, then clean off with
whitening and wash-leather.
IRRITABLE.— Physically de-
notes a habit of body prone to tonic in-
flammation, but without strength to
form it perfectly, or to bear the remedies
proper to subdue it. — Irritation signi-
fies an imperfect inflammation. Many
infantile diseases partake more of irrita-
tion than inflammation. A state of
irritation is present in most diseases,
and is very trying both to the patients
and their attendants, and one for which
every allowance and consideration ought
to be made.
IRRITATING LINIMENT.
Tincture qf cayenne, % oz. ; spirits of
turpentine, 1 oz. ; croton oil, oz. ;
olive oil, 1% oz. It produces eruptions,
and removes the severest pains.
IRRITATING PLASTER—
Burgundy-pitch and beeswax, % lb.
each ; thick tar, % lb. ; Venice turpen-
tine, oz. Melt well and mix on a
slow fire. When cold, mix with them
powdered blood-root, poke-root, and a
little cayenne. Spread on linen or soft
leather. This plaster is counter-irritant,
causes eruptions, and is a good curative
for old sores and ulcers. It is highly
recommended.
