MUSHROOM POWDER.— Take the thickest largest buttons ; peel them, cut off the rotten end, but do not Wash them ; spread them separately on pewter dishes, and put in a slow oven to dry ; let the liquor dry into the mush- rooms, for it makes the powder stronger, continue in the oven till they can be powdered ; then beat them up in a mor- tar, and sift them through a fine sieve, with a little cayenne pepper✪ Mushroom Powder and pound- ed mace ; bottle ; keep in a dry place. MUSK JULAP.— Rub * dr. of musk well together with J or. of sugar ; gradually add simple cinnamon and peppermint water, each 2 ozs., and 2 drs. of volatile aromatic spirit✪ Musk Julap. In the low state of nervous fevers, hiccupping, convulsions, and other spasmodic affections, 2 table-spoonfuls of this julap may be taken every a or 3 hours. MUSLINS, to Keep a Good Colour. — Never wash muslins, or any kind of cotton goods with linen ; for the latter discharges a kind of gum, and colouring matter, every time it is washed which discolours the muslin and cotton — wash them by themselves. MUSLINS, Uninflammable. — Mix with starch about the same weight of carbonate of lime, commonly called Spanish white or Spanish chalk. It does not deteriorate the appearance or injure the material of the muslin. MUSTARD.— This plant is both culinary and medicinal. As a condi- ment it is generally used and esteemed. As a cataplasm or poultice, it is made thus ; — powdered mustard seed, 4 ozs. ; vinegar, as much as is sufficient to mix it for a plaster ; it is stronger by adding horse radish, scraped, 5? ozs. It is em- ployed as a stimulant ; it often inflames the part, and raises blisters, but not so perfectly as cantharides. Sometimes they are applied to the soles of the feet, in tiie low state of acute diseases, for raising the pulse, and relieving the head. The white mustard acts not only on the bowels, but also on the skin. It wonderfully strengthens the whole line of the alimentary canal, improves the appetite, the digestion, and promotes sleep, and the health generally. When the seed is used to remove con- stipation, take it an hour before break- fast fasting. A small table-spoonful is sufficient MUSTARD, to Make. — Mix the best Durham flour of mustard by degrees with boiling water to a proper thickness, rubbing it perfectly smooth ; add a little salt, and a little tincture of cayenne✪ Mustard, to Make, and keep it in a small jar close covered, and put only as much into the glass as will be used soon, which should be wiped daily round the edges. MUS 269 MUT MUSTARD WHEY. — Milk and water, of each, 1 pint; bruised mustard seed, oz.✪ Mustard Whey ; boU together till the curd be separated ; strain. This is a good way of giving mustard. It warms and invigorates file stomach, and motes the secretions ; it is very use- in nervous disorders, chronic rheu- matism, palsy, dropsy, &c. A tea-cup- ful several times a day.
