Pour into a bottle and shake thoroughly. Let it stand twenty-four hours; pour off the clear fluid at the top and strain. Keep in a cool place. =Barley water.= Mix two teaspoonfuls of barley flour with a little cold water, then add one quart of water and boil twenty minutes in a double boiler. Strain through a very fine sieve and add enough boiled water to make one quart. =Rice water.= Rice water is made in the same way as barley water, but only one teaspoonful of rice is used to one quart of water. =Oatmeal water.= Mix two even tablespoonfuls of oatmeal with a little cold water; add one quart of water and boil for at least one hour in a double boiler. Strain through a fine sieve and add enough boiled water to make one quart. =Beef juice.= Select the third cut of the round lean beef, broil it slightly on both sides, cut in small pieces, and squeeze the juice from it with a potato ricer or a meat press. Add a pinch of salt, and before using warm it slightly by standing the cup containing the juice in a dish of hot water. =Whey.= Warm one pint of fresh milk to about 110° F. Add one teaspoonful of essence of pepsin or a junket tablet and stir until it is well mixed. Pour into cups and let stand until it jellies. Then break up the curds with a fork and strain through a sieve. The liquid is called whey, and it is sometimes used when babies cannot digest cow’s milk. =Two per cent boric acid solution.= Put one teaspoonful of boric acid powder in a pint of boiling water and keep in a clean bottle. =Soap suppository.= Take a piece of Ivory or castile soap and cut out a piece two inches long and about the size of a lead pencil. Narrow to a dull point at one end. INDEX Adenoids, 80 Air, necessity for, 17; impure, 19; temperature of, 21
