QWE their origin to an impure
state of tho blood, the urinary
and digestive organs being first
to suffer. Therefore, medicines
that will strengthen these organs
and at the same time cleanse and
purify and renew the blood, will
have a tendency to cure the major
ity of human ailments. Such a
remedy is Dr. Guysotfs Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparila, and, although pro
ducing no active cathartic or diu
retic effect, its use will soon establish
a painless regularity of urinary and
digestive functions. It has long ago
proven itself a specific for scrofula
and other syphilitic disorders, cur
ing such diseases even when all
other treatment, including Hot
Springs, failed. A great point in its
favor is that it contains no mercury
or any mineral poisons, and will
never harm the most delicate con
stitution. It merely makes one
feel buoyant and rids the system
of blood impurities and other in
ternal and external indications of
failing health.
Why? Why? Why?
JS it that so many neglect coughs
and colds until they get con
sumption? Why is it that so
many die of consumption ? It is
because they will not come and be
healed. Every one knows a sure
conqueror of throat and lung dis
eases is Or. W: star's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and that it is obtainable
throughout the lengtWnd breadth
of our land. Reader,Vj you suffer,
hasten and procure a bottle. It is
pleasant to take and never fails to
give satisfaction. A single dose
will cure an ordinary cough. A
9 few bottles will cure consumption
if taken in time. ,

Curability of Consumption.
This has been a vexed question
among physicians, opinions, even in
the same school, being strangely di
vergent. Of this, however, the public
are convinced: it is a terribly preva
lent disease, and the average doctor
meets but with scant success in treat
ing it. Consumption is in reality
scrofula of the lungs, and is liable to
attack any whose blood is tainted.
For driving out the scrofulous humors,
and thus- removing the predisposing
cause, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is a sovereign remedy. It
purifies bad blood, heals scrofulous ul
cers, and, whatever difference of opin
ion exists as to curing advanced cases
of consumption, it regains that many
pronounced "incurable" have been by
it brought back from the brink of the
grave to restored health and vigor.

Grover's Little Lamb.
BY T. C. HA RB A UGH.
Grover had a little lamb,
Just like the nursery maid ;
With English shears he clipped its wool.
And called the lamb "Free Trade."
Said Grover : '"Dan., we'll find sonfe day.
When at the lamb we peep,
That In onr care it's grown to be
A rousting British sheep."
tfhe lamb got into Congress once
And lost Its precious wool ;
The Democrats there cut It off
To please old Johnny Bull.
And when the fall elections came,
Said Grover, "Daniel, dear.
We'll bear now from that little lamb
Which once we loved to shear.
"I wonder If Its fleece has grown ?
I think not, Dan, don't you ?
We clipped it very close, you know.
For England told us to."
And while the President still had
His little lamb In mind,
A something like a cyclone struck
Him very hard behind.
Cried Grover, "Daniel, what was that ?
I'm all broke up, I am ;
Was It a cyclone on the jump ?"
"No, Grover, 'twas the lamb."
They bound a red bandana on
The bruised and bleeding spot;
They tried to whisper words of cheer,
But cheered he would be not.
And when they raised him up to see
His fleece-robbed little lamb.
He fonnd that It had grown to he
A big Protection ram.
"What made the lamb butt Grover so ?"
The children asked at school;
"It was because," the teacher said,
"He robbed it of Its wool."
And not a soul In all the land
For Grover then was sad ;
Such Is the simple story of
The lamb onr Grover had.

From The Independent, N. Y.J
GEN. BENJAMIN HARRISON.
BY THE EEV. M. L. HAINES,
Pastor First Prbsbyterian Church, Indian
apolis, Ind.
The Editor of The Independent:
Your request for information con
cerning General Harrison is before
me. I suppose your desire is to learn
especially what he has been in his re
lations to the church of which he is a
member, and how he is regarded here
by those who have been intimately as
sociated with him in religious and so
cial relations.
When he came to Indianapolis as a
young lawyer at the age of twenty
two he was already a professing Chris
tian. He ha4 united with the Presby
terian church of Oxford, Ohio, during
his student life in Miami University.
Mrs. Harrison and he brought their
church letters with them and identified
themselves immediately with the First
Presbyterian Church of this city.
During the thirty-four years since
that time they have been among its
most consistent, efficient and honored
members.
The Rev. Drs. J. H. Nixon, of Wil
mington, R. D. Harper, of Philadel
phia, J. P. Kumler, of Pittsburg, and
Myron Reed, of Denver, each of whom
has been in succession the pastor of
the First church, could, I doubt not,
give interesting reminiscences of the
help they received from this elder and
his wife. Mr. Harrison when but
twenty-four years of age was elected
to the office of deacon, and four years
later, in January 1861, under Dr.
Nixon's pastorate, was made an elder,
the ordination service as the church
record reads being "performed by the
laying on of the hands of the session."
For some time before the War Mr.
Harrison was superintendent of the
Sunday-school, and after his return
from the army was for a number of
years, up to his election as United
States Senator, the teacher of the con
gregational Bible-class for men. So
successful was he in this work that
he drew to the class a large number
of young men active in business and
professional life. I meet among the
officers and members of the churches
of different denominations in the city
not a few who speak with enthusiasm
of the instruction and the inspiration
to a true life they received while mem
bers of that class. One of its former
members said to me yesterday: "Gen
eral Harrison always had a clear con
ception of the truth in his head and
he had that truth also on his hearth'
Amidst the press of professional en
gagements he somehow so managed as
to be rarely absent, and during one of
the political campaigns, when he was
speaking six days in the week, insisted
that his appointments should be so ar
ranged that he could get back to Indi
anapolis Saturday evening, and thus
be enabled to meet his class Sunday
morning. The faithfulness to duty
thus exhibited has ever been a marked
characteristic of the man.
This faithfulness shows itself, also,
in the regularity of his attendance
upon the Sunday and mid-week ser
vices of his church, and in the loyal
and thorough way he meets the re
sponsibilities that rest upon him as an
officer. He takes hold of his duties
with both hands earnestly. "Our re
sponsibility to God" is a phrase 1 have
heard him use a number of times in
his prayers, and in such a tone as to
make it clear that it is one of the
great truths that shape his thinking
and conduct.
I sat in his office on Monday last
with a few gentlemen w,mle the bul
letins were being brought in one after
another, announcing the ballots five
minutes after they were cast in the
Chicago Convention. The calmest
person in that little group was the one
most interested in the result. When,
at the beginning of the seventh ballot,
the word came "California solid for
Harrison," a friend sitting next to the
General turned to him and said excit
edly : "General, that settles it, you are
going to receive the nomination; how
do you feel?" He answered in his.
quiet, deliberate way: "Well if it
does settle it, I feel more concerned
than I did the other day when I
thought I was beaten."
Those who hear General Harrison,
when called upon to lead in prayer in
the Thursday evening service in his
church, cannot but notice the simplic
ity and chasteness of expression, the
humility of spirit and the deep sense
of reverence that characterize his ut
terances. I venture to allude to this
because the real disposition of man's
heart often comes to its clearest be
trayal in his prayers.
There is about General Harrison an
utter absence of pretense or affecta
tion. He discards any attempt to make
a show of himself, and would be the
last person to speak or act for mere
effect. Open and straightforward in
both language and actions, he lacks
that quality of a politician which
makes one expert at "pulling wires"
and "laying pipes."
Against the urgency of certain
friends he steadfastly persisted in his
refusal to take any steps which would
place him in the position of a seeker
after the nomination to the office of
President, and received that nomina
tion as I know from unquestioned
authority absolutely unpledged. The
only promise he made was that if
elected he would conduct the adminis
tration on Republican principles.
He impresses one as being a man of
balanced mind and clear convictions
who would give any truth brought
before him a fair chance, but who
would allow nothing to swerve him
from the path of duty. With him a
promise is sacred; with him yes means
yes and no means no. He is not a
man desirous of dictating to others
nor will he allow himself to be dic
tated to.
Decided in his convictions, broad in
his views, inspired by a high moral
purpose, ruled by a conscience both
strong and informed, he has led a life
in this city conspicuous for its probity
and its stainless integrity.
One who was his law partner for
several years said of him : "He had as
high a sense of honor as any one I
ever knew, and the keenest sense of
justice I think I ever saw in any one.
This was especially striking in him.
It came, I think, from the fact that
he was something more than a man
who sought to do justly. He was a
spiritually minded man."
A certain reserve characterizes his
manner united with a natural dignity
of bearing which gives some the im
pression that he is cold and unsympa
thetic. But those who are brought
into more intimate relations with him
find him to be the very opposite.
In conversation he listens intently,
shows a keen sense of humor, and tells
a witty, clean, pat story in a manner
that "brings down the house." Gen
erous m his benevolences, he has al
ways taken a hearty interest in the
various charitable organizations of the
city, and his popularity among the
Roman Catholics, Hebrews and Prot
estants alike attests to the breadth
and genuineness of his sympathies.
In religious and charitable activities
he has had an earnest helper in Mrs.
Harrison. For a number of years she
was the teacher of the infant class in
the Sunday-school. She takes a lead
ing part in the missionary and social
work of the ladies of the church, and
is prominent in the management of
the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum and
other public benevolences.
Those who would like to read what
I see The Independent calls "a speech
of remarkable power" will find in Gen
eral Harrison's "Danville Address,"
printed in the Indianapolis Journal of
November 28th, 1887, his views of the
evils of the liquor traffic and his ring
ing denunciations of any alliance be
tween the Republican Party and the
Liquor League. General Harrison is
emphatically an Anti-Saloon Repub
lican. In regard to the form in which
the issue has joined here in Indiana
his trumpet has given no uncertain
sound. He has declared strongly for
local option and increased restriction
to the extent to which public senti
ment can secure and maintain them.
I will not presume to draw aside the
veil that conceals the home life of
General Harrison and his family; yet
I feel free to say that it is a Christian
American home, of the noblest type,
where the affection that binds its
members is purified and strengthened
by faith in God, and where from the
family altar that was erected more
than a third of a century ago, there
goes up each day the utterance of
thanksgiving and confession and
prayer to the Heavenly Father.

Knocker vs. Door Bell.
By Rev. T. De Witt Talmage.
As our readers know, the Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage, D. D., of Brooklyn,
the most popular minister in the
world, is away from Brooklyn enjoy
ing a tour. This letter from his pen
is dated July 13, and its subject is
"Knocker vs. Door Bell."
Here in this old fashioned country
house instead of the door bell we have
the knocker. I do not know that I
would like its startling thump all the
year round, but once in a while I like
it. There is something thoroughly
honest in the stroke of the old fash
ioned knocker. The visitor lets it fall
thrice, and then everybody in the
house, from garret to cellar, knows
that somebody wants to get in. But
the knocker has been banished from
all our city houses, and from many of
the country houses, and the door bell
substituted. No doubt there are hon
est door bells which, are a blessing,
but in our crowded thoroughfares
they become unprincipled and a nui
sance. When one is solitary or sad
it is a relief to hear one of them jin
gle. But to a busy life they become
a pest, sometimes almost unendurable.
When they call us to genial sociality,
or to sympathy with the grief struck,
or to a pastorial duty, they are to be
honored; but they sometimes seem to
be bent on making: a man crazy. We
have often gone out through theflm, deliberate, old fashioned Chris-
kitchen way while our reception room
was full, and taken the railroad and
gone fifty miles out of town to escape
its perpetual assault nd battery. We
have for the same purpose taken a
steamer for Portland or Charleston.
When we had a barn on our premises
in the out skirt of the city we some
times went there to escape the tintin
nabulation. One of our anticipations
of heaven is that there will be an ab
sence of this nuisance. There it goss
now ! And it has been going all day.
First a printer's boy from a book pub
lisher; then one of the same kind
from a magazine, both of these chaps
asking for more copy. Then came a
woman whose husband is out of work,
and wants'to know if we can get him
employment. Poor souls! How we
should like to help them! Then there
came a committee wanting a lecture.
Another committee wanting us to
speak at an indignation meeting. To
save time we deliver the indignation
speech there and then, only two for
an audience. Next a couple to be
married; next, a boy with a shoe bill.
Absurd! We have nearly worn them
out, and do you expect us to pay for
such an old pair of shoes as that?
Next, a man who wants to lecture,
and would pay us well if we would
furnish him.a manuscript. Dearfellow.
We are not in the brain biokerage bus
iness. l latter and bang again at the
door. This is a fierce man, whose child
has been sick for three weeks, and is in
furiate that we did not know it, and
have not been around with pastoral
condolence. By this time we are get
ting excited, and the door bell sounds
to us as loud as a gong. A lady is
opening a boarding house, and she
wants to know if we know any board-
All 1 t 1 1
ers. At ner departure we iaice a long
breath of relief and are about return
ing to our study, when clatter goes
the bell. A book agent! We see the
it i ti mi i
ominous bundle, and say: inanK
you! Don't open it! Don't want to
buy." But says he: "You need not
buy. Only let me show it to you."
"Thank you, we have no time to look
at it." "It won't take more than a
minute to look at it. All the other
clergy have taken the book. You had
better let me put down your name
for a copy." "Thank you ; we have
all the facts of that book in other vol
umes." "But I want your name. It
will help me very much with your
congregation. By the way, would
you give me a list of the more promi
nent names of your church?" "No;
we cannot give a list." "Well, sir,
let me present you with a copy of this
book, and then put your name on my
subscription book." No, sir! Our
putting our name down implies that
we have purchased a copy, and that
would be a falsehood." "Well, you
certainly want to help in the distribu
tion of good literature, do you not?"
At this point we get unbalanced, and
cry out: "Sir, we have been pestered
to-day with a long procession of
bores, but you are the biggest of the
lot! Now, get out of this house."
That was the first remark that made
any salutary impression, and he went
out of the room, not exactly shaking
off the dust of his feet against us as
witness, but leaving the mud of his
clodhoppers on carpet and stairs.
Then comes in a procession of people
wanting money for churches, for asy
lums, for engine houses, for the poor;
others wanting letters of recommen
dation or introduction; others want
ing autographs; others wanting noth
ing. You say: "Appoint certain
hours when you must not be inter
rupted." That plan works only im
perfectly. There are persistent fel
lows who will not be turned away.
They persuade the door servant that
it is a matter of life and death that
we be seen. If their card be brought
to us they are sure we will see them.
They gesticulate so violently that the
servant gets afraid. She has been on
ly a little while in the family, and
does not feel like being sacrificed even
in defense of the peace of the house
holder. Her courage fails and she
timidly knocks at the pastor's door.
After the urgent case is stated it is
found out that the visitor has a new
kind of cough mixture which he
wanted to introduce into the family.
Meantime when are you to prepare
your Sabbath sermons and weekly lec
ture ? If your sermons are poor these
interlopers will be the first to set up a
howl at the poor fodder. If you have
newspaper connections or relations to
some educational institution, what
justice can you do them? Amid these
disturbances we once so lost the order
of the day that we dined twice, forget
ting that we had been at the table be
fore, the second time chiding our
selves for poor appetite, which seemed
to indicate declining health. There
are two practical uses of writing all
this. First, to persuade congregations
not to be too sharp when their pastors
have poor sermons. If you had one
half the interruptions and bothera
tions your minister has you would not
preach any better than he does, and
would be so confused you could not
answer the questions in Brown's
"Shorter Catechism" as to who made
you and what you were made of.
Furthermore, let those who sit in the
quiet of the country home have their
gratitude stirred by the fact that they
live two miles from town and have on
their house, instead of a restless, fid
gety, impertinent, rickety door bell, a
tian door knocker.
But even that some time in the
country seemed, especially in winter,
to get sound asleep, and oh, then,
what an evening you had for reading!
Without touching either door knob
or knocker, Charles Dickens stepped
in from Gad's Hill; and Henry W.
Longfellow, without touching the
door, entered the sitting room, his
hair white, as if he had walked
through the snow with his hat off;
and William H. Prescott, with his
eye-sight restored, happened in from
Mexico, a cactus in his buttonhole;
and Audubon set a cage of his birds
on the table Baltimore oriole, chaf
finch, starling and boboiink doing
their prettiest; and Christopher North
thumped his gun down on the hall
floor, and hung his sporting jacket on
the hat rack, and shook the carpet
brown with Highland leather. As
Walter Scott came in his dog scam
pered in after him, and put both paws
up on the marble top table; and Min
nie asked the old man why he did not
part his hair better, instead of letting
it hang all over his forehead, and he
apologized for it by the fact he had
been on a long tramp from Melrose
abbey to Kenilworth Castle. But I
think as thrilling an evening as you
had any summer or winter was with
a man who walked in with a prison
jacket, his shoes moldy, and his cheek
pallid for the want of the sunlight.
He was so tired that he went immed
iately to sleep. He would not take
the sofa, saying he was not used to
that, but he stretched himself on the
floor and put his head on an ottoman.
At first he snored dreadfully, and it
was evident he had a horrid dream,
but after a while he got easier and a
smile came over his face, and he woke
himself singing and shouting. I said:
"What is the matter with you and
what were you dreaming about?"
"Well," he said, "the bad dream I had
was about the City of Destruction,
and the happy dream was about the
Celestial City;" and we all knew him
right away and shouted: "Glorious

IN CASES OP SUDDEN ILLNESS.
Some Rules Which Every Man Should
Hare at Hand How Many Lives
Can be Saved.
"I see your paper recently suggested
a number of handy antidotes in cases
of poisoning by accident or otherwise,"
said a physician connected with the
Health Board to a reporter for the
Mail and Express this morning, "but
there are other emergency cases just
as important as poisonings. Take cases
of drowning, sunstroke, suffocation by
gas, hanging and others where the
patient is found insensible. It seems
to me one should know what ought to
be done at such times as well as when
poison is taken. A few simple direc
tions in these cases might easily be
printed, and in so small a space that a
man could paste them in his bat."
"What are they?"
"I did not mean that you should
call on me for them. The Health
Board have already caused to be posted
in various public places a list of rules
to use in cases of drowning and sun
stroke, because they are the most like
ly to occur at this season of the year.
However, to show you that I am in
earnest, I will give you a few hints.
Here they are:
One of the most frequent things
found in connection with cases re
quiring immediate action is insensi
bility. It is caused by injuries to, or
diseases of the brain, blood-poisoning
or poisoning by narcotics, and is often
times mistaken, especially by the po
lice, for drunkenness. In these cases
note the position of the body. Place
the body on the back, incline the
head to one side, extend the legs and
place arms at the side. Compare two
sides of body. Note condition of the
pulse, whether -strong or weak, and
the state of the ribs and collar bones.
Examine the head for wounds, bruises,
swellings or depressions. Open the
eyes and see if the eyeballs are sensi
tive to the touch and if the pupils be
come small when exposed to the light,
whether they are large or small and
of the same size. Observe whether
the breathing is difficult or easy, the
presence or absence of stertor and the
odor of the breath. Drunkenness can
be detected by odor of the breath.
Insensibility is usually incomplete.
Both sides of the body are equally
helpless. There is no stertorous
breathing. The pupils of the eyes are
usually dilated and equal in size, and
the eyeballs are sensitive to touch.
For this trouble old water is the best
remedy, and if you can get it a little
hartshorn, whicb.-must be put to the
patient's nostrils, and a few drops in
water to drink.
In apoplexy, the patient becomes
suddenly insensible. The face is either
flushed or very paJfe. The pupils of
the eyes are fixed and dilated. The
pulse is siow and labored, and stertor
ous breathing is noticeable. Convul
sions also occur. Is such cases place
the body in a reclining position, and
raise the head. Undo the clothing
around the neck and apply cold water
or ice to the head.
Epilepsy differs from apoplexy in
that the patient foams at the mouth,
is only partially insensible, bites the
tongue and the breathing and pulse
are normal. Alt that can be done in
these cases is to keep the patient from
injuring himself. :
Hemorrhage from the ear, month,
nose or eyes indicates a fracture of
base of skull. Treat these cases :.s
those of apoplexy.
Blows or falls on the head produce
concussion of the brain and are detect
ed by external braises, a confusion of
ideas, sickness, fainting and stupor.
In such cases place the patient on his
back in a dark place, slightly raise his
head and apply warmth to his extrem
ities and surface of the body.
Shock or collapse follows injuries to
nervous system, fright, grief and
lightning. The patient's breathing is
very feeble, pulse almost impercepti
ble, eyes dull, face pinched and pale.
Apply warmth to the surface' of the
body and extremities, give stimulants
in small quantities, remove all tightly
fitting clothing and aid the restoration
of circulation after placing the patient
in a horizontal position.
Stupor, contracted pupils, progress
ive insensibility indicate poisoning by
narcotics. Prevalent for these cases
is cold water to the head and chest.
Give emetics, strong coffee and exercise.
To restore the apparently drowned,
place the patient face downward, be
stride the body, grip the clothing over
the shouldeis. If the body is naked
thrust your finger into the armpits,
clasping your thumbs over the shoul
ders, raise the chest as high as you
can without lifting the head from the
ground and hold it long enough to
count four. Then let the body rest
on the ground, the forehead on the
flexed arm, the neck straight, the
mouth and nose free. Place your el
bows just inside of your knees and
your hands on the sides of the chest
just over the lower ribs. Then press
downwards and inward long enough
to count two. Suddenly let go your
grasp on the shoulders and raise the
chest as before. Repeat these move
ments alternately ten or fifteen times
a minute until natural breathing be
gins; then induce circulation and
warmth by rubbing the extremities
and covering the patient with dry
blankets and clothing. Hot water,
heated bricks or hot bottles at the pit
of the stomach, armpits, soles of feet
and inside the thighs will help matters
along. Small quantities of wine, cof
fee or warm water are of great use
when his power of swallowing has re
turned. Sleep should he encouraged,
and mustard plasters to the chest and
under the shoulders will relieve dis
tressed breathing.
You can always tell sunstroke or
heatstroke, for one need not be exposed
to the sun's rays to cause this malady.
Being in a heated atmosphere is
enough. As a rule these cases are
preceded by headache, sickness at
stomach and weakness of the knees.
The face and head are hot, the pulse
full but weak and 'the breathing slow
and labored. The face is red and
sometimes purple. Put the patient in
a cool place, apply ice or ice water to
his spine, head and the back of the
neck.
If the case is rather one of exhaus
tion, which can be told by a face not
much flushed or pale, pulse frequent
and feeble and no difficulty in breath-

ing, give stimulants gradually and be
sparing of the ice.
In cases of hanging and suffocation
by gas undo the patient's clothing,
clear out his mouth and nostrils, dash
cold water on his neck and chest and
induce respiration as in drowning
cases.
In cases of hemorrhage pressure
should be applied upon an artery be
tween the wound and the heart and
continued until medical aid is sum
moned.
Orchard and Garden.
HARVEST HINTS.
After the cherry comes the apple.
Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest
and Astrachan Red yet head the list.
All three are good cooking apples, and
not to despise for eating out of hand
when fully matured. If intended for
shipping, especially to a distant mar-
ket, they must be picked when hardly
ripe. Otherwise they will become
soft and unfit for sale. Careful sort
ing is needed with all fruits to be put
on the market, and of particular im
portance with summer apples, if
the grower expects a paying price.
All inferior specimens should be kept
at home.
The codltn is quite fond of early ap
ples, and it is always wise to pick up
the wind-falls every day and feed
them to hogs, sheep, cows or horses,
or ctill better to have this work done
by sheep or pigs confined in the or
hoard. Look after and attend to the labels
on young trees, if not already done.
Rob off superfluous sprouts as fast
as they appear.
Cat the grass and leave it on the
ground for a mulch.
Thistles and weeds are no ornament
to an orchard anymore than to a gar
den, small fruit patch or grainfteld.
On many farms the orchard serves as
breeding place for all sorts of obnox
ious weeds. The orchard should be
cut over with a mower as regularly as
a meadow.
Don't neglect the fence corners
There flourishes the burdock, the this
tle, the daisy. Cut them down before
they mature their seeds.
Then look up into the trees for the
fall web-worm. Give no quarter, un
less you spend it for kerosene or Bu-
hach. Approach the enemy with a
burning torch, or with a spjaying
pump, throwing Kerosene emulsion,
or a Buhach solution into each tent.
Let the children eat nice ripe ap
ples, ripe peaches (if you have them),
and other tree fruits, to their hearts'
content. Free indulgence, within
their natural appetites, will not hurt
them. But do not insult them with
poor, inferior or half-decayed speci
mens. Good fruit only is wholesome
and fit to eat.
Usernl Baking Powder Facta.
The following hints may nrev.-nt
some housekeeper from being imposed
upon:
If, when two samples of baking
powder are tested by mixing with cold
water, one of them boils up auickly,
effervescing like sedlitz powder, and
the other rises more slowly, foaming
like yeast, and, perhaps, standing over
the top of the glass, it is an evidence
of the purity of the former and the
adulteration of the latter. The dif
ferent action of the second is caused
by the addition of flour or lime, or
both. Put a little flour in the other
and mix it thoroughly, thej
the water, and the sarnj
duced, the actioj
slow according j
added.
