MACASSAR OIL.

Take three quarts of common oil,

half a pint of spirit of wine,

three ounces of cinnamon powder,

two ounces of bergamot.

Put it in a large pipkin, and give it a good heat. When it

is off the fire, add three or four pieces of alkanet root,

and keep it closely covered for several hours. Filter it

through a funnel lined with blotting paper. The commonest

oil is used; and, when rancid, it is remedied by putting in

two or three slices of an onion.
