Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone color. Yellow ochre stirred in makes yellow wash, but chrome goes further, & makes a color generally esteemed prettier. We have been told that green must not be mixed with lime, the lime destroys the color, & the color has an effect on the whitewash, which makes it crack & peel. When walls have been badly smoked, it is well to squeeze indigo plentifully into the water you use before you stir it in the mixture. If a larger quantity than 5 gals be wanted, use the same proportions. Useful medical hints If a person swallow any poison whatever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, more efficient & applicable is a large number of causes than any half dozen medicines, is a teaspoonful of common salt, & 1 ground mustard stirred rapidly in a tea cup of water warm or cold, & swallowed instantly.
