HOLLAND
GIN.
Neutral
spirit,
four
gallons
;
three
pounds
of
su-
gar,
dissolved
in
water,
two
pints
;
Strasburg
tur-
pentine,
four
drops
;
oil
of
juniper,
twelve
drops
;
dissolve
them
both
in
alcohol,
and add
one
half
ounce
of
spirit
of
orris
root.
The
preceding
formulas
will
furnish
as
pure
li-
quors
as
those
obtained
by
distillation,
arid
of
the
proper
and
natural
strength.
It
will
be
seen
that
at
the
prices
these
liquors
are
made,
any one
desirous
of
it,
can
keep
a
choice
selection
of
staple
liquors
at
comparatively
low
costs.
The
neutral
spirit
is
the
most
valuable
constituent.
Those
who
are
desirous
of
manufacturing
on
a small
scale,
will
find
that
from
a
barrel
of
neutral
spirit,
a
choice
lot
of
liquors
can
be
made.
If
any
of
the
preceding
liquors
should
appear
to
have
too
great
a
strength
to
the
palate,
they
should
be
lowered
by
the
addition
of
water.
As
no
establishment,
where
liquors
are
necessary,
would
be
complete
without
a
few
choice
cordials,
a
few
receipts
are
offered.
