flour rubbed down smooth with it. But strained it makes a delicious improvement to the meat soup, particularly for the sick; and when such are to be supplied, the milder parts of the spare bones and meat should be made for them, with little, if any of the liquor of the salt meats. The fat should not be taken off the broth or soup, as the poor like it, and are nourished by it. _The following is an excellent Soup for the weakly._ Put two cowheels and a breast of mutton into a large pan, with four ounces of rice, one onion, twenty Jamaica peppers, and twenty black, a turnip, a carrot, and four gallons of water. Cover with brown paper, and bake. _Sago._ Put a teacupful of sago into a quart of water, and a bit of lemonpeel; when thickened, grate some ginger, and add half a pint of raisinwine, brown sugar, and two spoonfuls of Geneva. Boil all up together. It is a most supporting thing for those whom disease has left very feeble. _Caudle for the Sick and Lying in._ Set three quarts of water on the fire, mix smooth as much oatmeal as will thicken the whole with a pint of cold water; when boiling, pour the latter in, and twenty Jamaica peppers in fine powder; boil to a good middling thickness, then add sugar, half a pint of well fermented table beer, and a glass of gin. Boil all. This mess twice, and once or twice of broth, will be of incalculable service. There is not a better occasion for charitable commiseration than when a person is sick.
