BREASTS (STUBBORN), To Relieve. — Dissolve half an ounce
of camphor in two ounces of olive oil. Rub the lotion gently upon the
tender part ; it will prove very soothing.
BREASTS, To Soften Hard Swellings of the. — Roast a turnip till
soft, then mash it, mix it with a little sweet oil, put it between warm flannel,
and apply as hot as can be borne, changing the poultice twice a day.
BREATH (OFFENSIVE), Lozenges for. — Gum kino, half an
ounce ; catechu, one ounce ; white sugar, three ounces ; orris powder,
three-quarters of an ounce. Make into a paste with mucilage, and add a
drop of neroli.
BREATH (OFFENSIVE), To Purify. — Take the first thing in
the morning from six to ten drops of the concentrated solution of potash
mixed in a wineglassful of pure water. — See also Onions, To Remove the
Smell of.
BREATH (SHORT), To Relieve. — Vitriolated spirits of ether, one
ounce ; camphor, twelve grains. Of these make a solution, and take a
spoonful during the paroxysm. It gives instant relief.
BREECHES (WHITE), Paste for. — Put some pipeclay into an
earthen vessel with sufficient water to form a thick paste, adding likewise
a little powdered blue. When required to use the paste, get enough boiled
milk to rub on the top of the pipeclay till it becomes of the thickness of
cream. Lay it evenly on the breeches, and turn them inside out to dry.
BRIMSTONE AND TREACLE. — Sulphur, one ounce and a
half ; cream of tartar, half an ounce ; treacle, half a pound. Mix. From a
teaspoonful to a dessert-spoonful to be given early in the morning, three
times a week.
BRITANNIA METAL, To Clean. — Articles made of this metal
are most readily cleaned by washing them with a brush dipped in hot
soap-suds into which has been poured a teaspoonful of ammonia, then
rinsing them in hot water, wiping dry with a soft cloth, and polishing with
a chamois leather. If very dirty they may be rubbed with rotten-stone and
water, then with a mixture of oil and whiting, and lastly with dry whiting.
BROCCOLI, To Grow. — Sow some seed about the first week in April
and more in the middle of May ; plant out in summer in best rich ground,
in rows, two or three feet asunder. A few of the Cape varieties may be
sown in June. These latter will produce a supply from October to Christ-
mas. The same sort sown in July and August will yield a supply in April
and May. Many of the White Broccoli, if sown at three different times,
from the first week in June to the last, will give a supply from Michaelmas
to Christmas ; the later sorts will be in perfection from February to April
from seed sown the preceding year.
BROCCOLI, To Pickle. — Proceed in precisely the same manner as
is hereafter directed for cauliflowers.
