(This lemonade can be very warmly recommended in cases of cold, before going to bed.) 78. lrcmona'b'e (!fo~euse. Half an ounce of carbonate of magnesia is ground in one pint of water; filf the milky fluid into a glass bottle, add half an ounce of crystallized citric acid, and close the bottle air-tight. After twelve hours filter the fluid into another bottle, in which you first place one-fourth ounce of citric acid and two ounces of sugar syrup; fill the bottle up with fresh water; cork well; fasten the cork with twine, and shake in order to mix the syrup with the water, and to dissolve the citric acid, which then sets free the carbonic acid in the carbonate of magnesia; which acid makes the lemonade sparkle. 79. ®range lremonalle. Take one quart of cold water, the juice of three oranges; rub the peel of them slightly on sugar, add a glass of Rhine wine, and sweeten at your discretion. 80. ®range £ilJcrbet.
