BLACKING, Another. — A quarter of a pound of ivory black, a quarter of a pound of moist sugar, a tables poonfu! of flour ; a piece of tallow the size of a walnut ; and a small piece of gum arabic✪ BLACKING, Another. Make a paste of the flour ; and, while hot, put in the tallow ; then the sugar ; and, afterwards, mix the whole well together in a quart of water. BLACK LACE, to Clean. — Wind the lace round a board four inches wide. Make a lather of white soap and water, and then wash the lace with great care and a gentle hand ; rinse away the soapy water with clean, milk-warm water ; then let it gently dry. Next day make some good strong tea — black tea is best — and dissolve in it a little gum arabic, using about as much gum as one would sugar. Rinse the clean lace in this gum-tea several times. The tanning principle will restore the colour of the lace, the gum will impart stiffness. Be- fore the lace is quite dry it must be folded backwards and forwards between the alternate leaves of an old book, and then pressed. BLACK LACE, to Clean.— Pass the lace through a warm liquor of bullock’s fall and water ; afterwards rinse in cold water ; then take a small piece of glue, pour boiling water on it, and again pass the lace through it ; clap it with your hands, and frame it to dry. BLACK PAPER for Transfer. — Mix well together fine lamp black and sweet oil, and a drop or two of turpen- tine. Apply it to soft sheets of paper with a flannel or a soft sponge. BLACK REVIVER.— First dip the cloth in, or apply to the article with a sponge, a solution of bichromate of potass. Then do in the same way with a decoction of logwood, and lastly with a little solution of copperas ; this makes a capital black. Cloth is best dyed when it is boiled a little. BLACK SALVE, or, Healing Salve. — Olive oil, 1 pint; common resin, % ounce ; bees’ wax, % ounce ; Venice turpentine, % ounce. Melt, raising the oil nearly to the boiling point ; then gradually add two or three ounces of powdered red lead while on the fire ; do not burn it ; boil slowly till it becomes a dark brown ; remove from the fire, and add one drachm of pow- dered camphor when it Is nearly cold. — This is a first-rate healing salve, superior to most, is wonderful in bums, scalds BLA 66 BLA scrofulous, fistulous, and all other ulcers, Spead on linen, and renew daily. BLACK STAIN for WOOD. — Pour one quart of boiling water on half an ounce of commercial extract of Logwood ; when the solution is effected, add half a drachm of yellow chromate of potash, and let the whole be well stirred. BLADDER, Inflammation of. — It manifests itself by pain and tight- ness in the lower part of the abdomen ; the pain increases by pressure, there is a constant desire to pass urine, and great difficulty in passing a few drops ; sometimes there is complete retention ; the bladder may become enlarged, caused by the inflammatory action. In old people the chronic form occurs, and it is frequently caused by stone. In the decline of life, the common symptom is the difficulty of making water.
