make it pleasant, quick and strong.


_To make stale Beer drink new_.


Take the Herb _Horehound_ stamp it and strain it, then put a Spoonful of
the juice (which is an extream good Pectoral) to a pitcher-full of Beer,
let it stand covered about two Hours and drink it.


_To fine Malt Liquors_.


Take a pint of water, half an Ounce of unslack'd Lime, mix them well
together, let it stand three Hours and the Lime will settle to the Bottom,
and the water be as clear as Glass, pour the water from the Sediment, and
put it into your Ale or Beer, mix it with half an Ounce of Ising-glass
first cut small and boiled, and in five Hours time or less the Beer in the
Barrel will settle and clear.

There are several other Compositions that may be used for this purpose,
but none that I ever heard of will answer like those most Excellent Balls
that Mr. _Ellis_ of _Little Gaddesden_ in _Hertfordshire_ has found out by
his own Experience to be very great Refiners, Preservers and Relishers
of Malt Liquors and Cyders, and will also recover damag'd Drinks, as I
have mentioned in my Second Book, where I have given a further Account of
some other things that will fine, colour and improve Malt Drinks: The
Balls are sold at [missing text]
