Method of making yeast.
The following method of making ⟨yeast⟩ for bread is easy and expeditious. Boil ⟨one⟩ pound of good flour, a quarter of a pound of brown sugar, and a little salt, in two gallons of water, for an hour; when milk warm, bottle and cork it close; it will be ⟨fit⟩ for use in 24 hours. One pint of it ⟨will⟩ make 18lbs of bread.

When the blisters are open, dress them with a simple white ointment spread thinly on the smooth side of lint, the first day, and every day after sprinkle a little powder on prepared chalk, and dress it as before. To alleviate the immediate pian, apply any quick evaporating fluid, as aether, spirits of wine, or brandy; or better than all, if at hand, spirits of turpentine, or rags dipped, in vinegar and water, and often renewed.
FINIS.
