Rubbing the teeth and washing out the mouth with fine charcoal powder will render the teeth beautifully white, and the breath perfectly sweet, where an offensive breath has been owing to a scorbutic disproportion of the gums. Meat, which is only a little tainted with putridity, may at once be made sweet with charcoal. Of the manufacture of shot In melting the lead a small quantity of arsenic is added, which disposes it to run into spherical drops. When melted it is poured into a cylinder whose circumference is pierced with holes. The lead streaming thro' the holes, soon divides into drops which fall into water where they congeal. A certain cure for the Bite of an Adder A fomentation from the Keys of the Ash tree or the inner rind bruised and laid on will stop the venom, or an Ointment made of the Peel is good for the wound.
