Charcoal
(2).
All
sorts
of
glass
vessels
and
other
utensils
may
be
purified
from
long-retained
smells
of
every
kind,
in
the
easiest
and
most
perfect
manner,
by
rinsing
them
out
well
with
charcoal
powder,
after
the
grosser
impurities
have
been
scoured
off
with
sand
and
potash.
Rubbing
the
teeth
and
washing
out
the
mouth
with
fine
charcoal
powder,
will
render
the
teeth
beautifully
white,
and
the
breath
perfectly
sweet,
where
an
offensive
breath
has
been
owing
to
a
scorbutic
disposition
of
the
gums.
Putrid
water
is
immediately
deprived
of
its
bad
smell
by
charcoal.
When
meat,
fish,
&c.,
from
intense
heat,
or
long
keeping,
are
likely
to
pass
into
a
state
of
corruption,
a
simple
and
pure
mode
of
keeping
them
sound
and
healthful
is
by
putting
a
few
pieces
of
charcoal,
each
about
the
size
of
an
egg,
into
the
pot
or
saucepan
wherein
the
fish
or
flesh
is
to
be
boiled.
Among
others,
an
experiment
of
this
kind
was
tried
upon
a
turbot,
which
appeared
to
be
too
far
gone
to
be
eatable;
the
cook,
as
advised,
put
three
or
four
pieces
of
charcoal,
each
the
size
of
an
egg,
under
the
strainer
in
the
fish-kettle;
after
boiling
the
proper
time,
the
turbot
came
to
the
table
sweet
and
firm.
