ENGRAVINGS (MILDEWED), To Clean. — Place the en-
graving in a bath of clean water for two hours, then dry it between blot-
ting-paper, and repeat the process. When quite dry run over the under
side of the engraving with a solution of chloride of lime, in the proportion
of one part lime to twenty parts water. The wrorst places may be
touched with dilute nitric acid (one part acid to ten parts water), then
wash and dry as before. The great difficulty of this method, however, is
to avoid injury being done to the engraving, as the paper becomes quite
pulpy and friable before it is dry.
ENGRAVINGS, To Clean. — Spread the picture on a smooth
board, cover it with finely-powdered salt, which dissolve with lemon juice ;
cleanse by pouring boiling water over it, and let it dry in a shady spot in
the open air. If dried before the fire or by the heat of the sun it will
acquire a yellow tinge.
ENGRAVINGS, To Transfer. — Dip a sheet of white paper in a
weak solution of starch, and, after it is dry, in a weak solution of oil of
vitriol ; let this dry also. Place the engraving over the vapour of iodine
for a few seconds, and put it in a press covered with a sheet of the prepared
paper ; let them remain for a few minutes, when an excellent copy will be
produced.
ERUPTIONS OF THE FACE, Mixture for.— Ipecacuanha
wine, four drams ; flowers of sulphur, two drams ; tincture of cardamom,
one ounce. Mix. A teaspoonful to be taken three times a day.
ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN, Lotion for.— Milk of bitter
almonds, seven ounces ; bichloride of mercury, four grains ; spirits of
rosemary, one ounce. Mix. Bathe the eruptions with the lotion three
times a day.

beef marrow over the fire, stir in a teaspoonful of brandy and a pinch of
salt, then strain. Apply cold.
ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN, Powders for.— Flowers of
sulphur, half a dram ; carbonate of soda, a scruple ; tartarised antimony,
one-eighth of a grain. Mix. One powder to be taken night and
morning.
LooENTI AL OIL, To Extract. — Essential oil may be extracted
from herbs, roots, or barks by putting them into a bottle and pouring upon
them a spoonful or so of ether. Cork well, and keep in a cool place for a
few hours, then fill the bottle with cold water. The oil will swim upon the
surface, and may be readily separated.
ETCHING FLUIDS FOR STEEL.— Pyroligneous acid, four
ounces ; alcohol, one ounce ; mix, and add nitric acid, one ounce, all by
measure.
Or, one ounce of iodine ; half a dram of iron filings, and four ounces of
water. Mix, and dissolve.
ETCHING GROUND FOR STEEL. — White wax, twoounces;
black and Burgundy pitch, of each half an ounce ; melt together ; add by
degrees powdered asphaltum, two ounces ; boil till a drop taken out on a
plate will break, when cold, by being bent double two or three times ; then
pour it into warm water, and form into small balls for use.
Or melt together an equal weight of linseed oil and mastic.
EVERLASTING FLOWERS, for Winter Bouquets. — Cut the
flowers before they are fully expanded✪ Everlasting Flowers, for Winter Bouquets and suspend them heels upwards
until they are perfectly stiff and dry. They may be made to assume various
colours by dyeing.
