There are feveral Ways of preparing it for Food, as with Water, with the Fat of Meat, or with Milk; but whatever Way you may chafe, you maft begin with walking and cleaning it well three diffe rent Times in warm Water. In order to prepare, with Water alone, a fufficient Quantity of ic for feeding 30 Perfons for a whole Day, pat five Papads of Rice into a Sauce-pso, or Pot with five Gallons of Water, and a proporLoad! Quantity of Salt: Make it boil upon a small Fire for three Hurs, direing it from Time to Tims to prevent its flicking to the Veffel, and so you find it thickens peur in by Degrees more warm Water, to the Amount of five Gallons mere. These five Pounds will geoduce 6sty Portions or Sheroe, neither too thick nor too thin, two of which will be fufficient Food for one Perfun, and confequently, the five Hounds will be fuffisient Food for thirty. In order to prepare with Meal, or the Fit of Meat, fufficient Ogantity of Rice for fe ding 30 Perfons for a whole Day, put forty Ounces of Mast into the first five Gallons of Water, and after you have made it boil and froth up, throw in your five Pounds of Rice, with the proger Quantity of Salt, after which proceed as before di Hirted or instead of Meat you, may put 20 Ounces of Suet, and the Rice will be equally good. And in order to prepare with Milka fufficient. Quantity of Rice for feeding go Perfone for a whole Day, you are to proceed as with Waer alone, only teave out a Gallon and a Half of the Water, fod make it up with the fame Quantity of Milk, firft boiled and feed parately by itfelf, and not to be put in until the laß Quarter of an Howe of the Bolling. "It la to he undiagos, that according to the Number of Pe fe intend to feed, you are to augment or diminish in Propor fe of Rice, Water, Meat, Suet, or Milk. And the Rice prepared Sith Water or Sest may be kept for two or three Dayas but that ith Milk is apt to turn four the next Day. Thats Receipts were, in December 1754, commanfested to the Royal Academy of Surgery at Paris, by M. Recolin,, upon occafion of a Princt offered to the Court of France by M. Bosebe, who ha aviated farlanciona (or mealy) Powder, 6x Ounces of which i red the proper Quantity of boiling Water, is fufficient for fappert nga Man for a Days and it has by Experiment been found,, that By this Meine a Man may be fupported in Health and Vigour for Time which Powder he proposes to fall at Penny, or the s French per Quace. M. Recolin oblerves, that in the Year 1947, when there w Famine to the South of France, and the Port of Bourdedns mas oked up by the Englife, to that they could get no Supply by Set King Commillary for Guienne exuled to be printed a great Num ar of thefe Receipt, and difperfed them gratis thro' the whole Proioce, by which 3 or 400,000 People were faftructed and enabled fapport themselves for fix Weeks, and that in that Year fawer fons died in that Province, than had died at a Medium of ten Years before.

From all which he concludes, that there is nothing new or murvellous in the Powder invented by Mr. Debe; and to fhew, that People may be fupported at cheaper Rate by the Dauphing Soup than by his Powder, he ftatos the Expence of the former as follows For making & Quantity of this Soup fufficient for fubfifting fly Men for a Des, take Liv.

This &count was inferted in the Londos Magacine, not only su as thight le might be agreeable to the Resders; but bete migh bo of great Service to the Troops in Ameries; where, to attack the French, they mufi make long Marches' through a Defert, or use tivated Country. To which we may add, That the Meal made.of Indien Corn mentioned as the Subfiftance of Indian Warriors in their long Marchi is reply made of parched Corn, peguded fine and having thus pr viouffy piffed the Fire, in feady for Food et any time, when mich with toid Water, fo that od Fire is necellary to drefs their Victual which if they were to kindle, their Marches or Ambuftades might be difovered by the Smoke or Smell of Burning.

This Medicine (dds he) fucceeds equally in bloedy Furer, Diar hea's, fimple Loofeneffes, Quartan Agues, even the most obfiastr nd in certain Cafea of the Fluar albus. He advises Caution in giving it; to begin with three or four-GearD ata Dofe, efpecially when it has been levigated again after Chistostion; and thus, fays he, may it be given fafely to Children and prehant Women. He has given it himself to Teveral Women who were with Child in bloody Fluxes; they were all cured, and no Ac cident happened to any of them. He has obfèd no Diffetence: in the Medicine, whether the Patient had, or had not, been bied or purged; whether the-Difeafe were recent or of long Stending & whe her, in fine, it were attended with a Fazer or not.

Nevertheless, he thinks it would-be imprudens not to allow of an Interm fion or Interruption, for fundry Reafene Vegetable Acids, as they would greatly encreafe the emetic Quality with this Medicine, would, as he thinks, put the Patient's Life in Danger; for which Reafon he forbids the Ufe of acid Fruite, and Aliments, that are liable to turn four, aa Miik, Wine, &c.
