INDIAN PUDDING. — Wash and dry six or eight ounces of rice,
put it into a deep dish and moisten it with milk ; set it in a gentle oven ;
add milk at intervals, in small quantities, until the grain is swollen to its
full size, and is tender, but dry ; then mix with it two dessert-spoonfuls of
97
caster sugar and a cupful of cream✪ Indian Pudding. Fill the dish almost to the brim with
fruit properly sugared, heap the rice over it, leaving it rough, and bake in
a moderate oven for half an hour. Apples and other hard fruit require
stewing with the sugar before being added to the rice.
INDIAN PUDDING, Another Way of Making. — Mix with one
quart of boiling milk a cupful of maize, three ounces of treacle, one ounce
of butter, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, and a little salt✪ Indian Pudding, Another Way of Making ; stir in a cupful
of cold water, pour into a buttered dish, and bake for three-quarters of an
hour.
INDIAN SYRUP. — Pour half a gallon of boiling water on to two
pounds and a half of loaf sugar and one ounce of citric acid. When cold
add half a dram of essence of lemon and half as much of spirits of wine✪ Indian Syrup.
Stir well and pour it into a bottle. Two tablespoonfuls in a glass of cold
water makes a refreshing summer drink.
INDIARUBBER AND GUTTA PERCHA, To Dissolve.—
Indiarubber and gutta percha may be dissolved by soaking them in iiquid
sulphuret of carbon, in wood naphtha, or in benzine. Great caution must
be exercised that no naked light is brought near these liquids.
INDIGESTION, Remedy for. — Infusion of columba, six ounces ;
carbonate of potass, one dram ; compound tincture of gentian, three
drams. Mix. Dose: Three tablespoonfuls each day an hour before dinner.
The juice of a lemon taken immediately after the principal meal of the
day is also beneficial.
INFANTS, Relaxing Medicine for. — If found necessary to relax
the bowels quickly give from one to two teaspoonfuls (according to age) of
castor oil in warm water ; but for an occasional aperient Turkey rhubarb
is preferable. For an infant give from ten to twelve grains, and for a child
three years old fifteen or sixteen grains.
INFANTS, The Teething of. — The teeth usually begin to appear
in a child when it is seven months old. The two front ones in the lower
jaw are invariably the first cut, then the two corresponding ones in the
upper jaw, and so on. The dog teeth immediately follow the front ones,
and these are succeeded by the grinders, a complete set of first teeth
numbering sixteen in all. Should a rash break out on the face or head ;
or behind the ears during teething, wash the part with warm water, dry,
and dust with oatmeal or violet powder. Gently rubbing the gums with the
finger will greatly assist the tooth in forcing its way through the flesh, but
if they become red and swollen, and convulsions are feared, it is advisable
to have them lanced.
