selves may be benefited by the following
recipe:-

four pounds salt,--one-half coarse, the 9th.
Ell fne,---one and a half pounds of brown
sugar and one pint best Havana molasses.---
To the above Ingredients add two and hall
ounces saltpetre and half an ounce of pearl
ash. Mix and boil, carefully cleaning the
