of quinine, 2 grains ; diluted sulphuric acid, 2 drops ; spirit of nutmegs, 1 drachm; distilled water, 10 drachms✪ Quinine Draught. Mix. A wine-glassful to be taken daily at mid-day. Cleanse the stomach and bowels by an emetic and an aperient. Give the Restorative Wine Bitters , to which add a little of the subcarbonate of iron. If constipated, take the Dyspeptic Pill, Cold water cloths applied form no mean remedy : also the Rheumatit Liquid, which see. If the pain is very severe, apply the Stimulating Liniment, and afterwards a poultice made of hops, powdered valerian, and a little tincture of cayenne. I have found extract of henbane, in the dose of 3 grains, formed into a pill, given three times a day, to afford great relief. Where there is much irritation of the nerves of the face, particular attention must be paid to the state of the diges- tive organs ; for nothing tends more to keep up nervous irritability than indiges- tion. See Page 217. The extract of belladonna is a good preventive taken previous to the attack. Take one grain. Repeat, if necessary. Chloro- form is now used for Tic. It should be advised by a skilful chemist. Or, pour a pint of boiling water on 1 02. of valerian root, and oz. of cassia. Infuse 24 hours. Take a wine-glassful three times a day, between meals, with a tea-spoonful of powdered Peruvian bark in each glass. Take no tea, coffee, ale, porter, or acids, but a light, nour- ishing diet ; and keep the bowels regu- lar with a little Turkey rhubarb. TIN COVERS, to Clean. Mix the finest whiting with the least drop of sweet oil ; rub well, and wipe clean ; then dust some dry whiting over, and rub bright with dry leather. TINCTURE of LOBELIA— See page 241. Take 4 ozs. of the dried TIN 388 TOM plant, water and spirits of wine, of each, 1 pint ; sulphuric ether, 1 oz. ; spirits of nitric ether, % a pint. Macerate in a dark place one or two weeks. Strain. Begin with one or two drops at a time. It is excellent for asthma, and asthmatic or spasmodic cough. It is good in hooping cough, chronic bronchitis, croup, &c. TINNING. — Plates or vessels of brass or copper, boiled with a solution of stannate of potassa mixed with turn- ings of tin, become, in the course of a few minutes, covered with a firmly attached layer of pure tin. A similar- effect is produced by boiling the articles with tin filings and caustic alkali, or cream of tartar. In the above way, chemical vessels made of copper or brass may be easily and perfectly tinned. Tinning Process. — The articles to be tinned are first covered with diluted sulphuric acid, and when quite cleaned in warm water, are dipped in a solution of muriatic acid, copper, and zinc, and then plunged into a tin bath, to which a small quantity of zinc has been added. When the tinning is finished, the articles are taken out and plunged into boiling water. The operation is completed by placing them in a very warm sand bath. This process softens iron. TINNING COPPER.— First dean the copper with sandstone ; then heat and rub it over with sal-ammoniac. The tin, mixed with powdered resin, is then placed on the copper, which is made so hot as to melt the tin, and to allow of its being spread over the sur- face, with a bit of tow.
