those
Gins,
which
are
reduced
to
the
lowest
strengths
and
prices,
and
by
those
persons,
who
are
considered
the
most
knowing.
Before,
however,
it
is
mixed
with
the
other
fla-
voring
ingredients,
it is
altered
in
its
form
by
a
process,
in
which
either
Sour
Cyder
or
Lime
Water
is
employed
;
and
under
which
alteration
it
is,
I
be-
lieve,
added
in
the
proportions
of
from
one
to
four
pints
to
100
gallons-of
Gin.
As
regards
Oil
of
Turpentine
and
Sulphuric
JEther,
("the
Turpentine
having
been
changed
from
its
oily
state,
by
means
of
Lime
Water,
the
Whites
of
Eggs,
or
Spirits
of
Wine},
they
are
in-
cluded
in
the
measure
of
about
one
eighth
of a
pint
of
the
former,
and
half
a
pint
of
the
latter,
(with
the
other
materials
used
for
the
flavor,)
for
100
gallons,
and
chiefly,
for
the
purpose
of
mingling
and
concealing
the
Oil
of
Vitriol,
in
the
made
up
Gin,
and
giving
it
what
is
termed
*
a
delicate
flavor!*
.
The
Extracts
of
Grace
and
Angelica
Roots
are
used,
for
imparting
a
fullness
of
body
and
flavor
to
that vast
proportion
of
the
Compound,
which
is
merely
water;
and,
by
their
relative
bitters,
keep-
ing
the
taste,
as
nearly
as
possible,
to
that
of
the
Gin
previously
to
any
reduction.
They
are
applied
with
the
other
ingredients
in
quantities
of
about a
quart
of
each,
to
the
100
gallons
of
manufactured
gin.
The
remaining
Oils,
named
in
the
list,
require
the
nicest
discrimination
in
their
application;
and
that
their
forms
be
altered
by
the
same
means,
as
