Although
the
Still-room
was
serviceable
for
medi-
cinal
purposes,
yet,
as
we
have
seen,
there
were
many
comforting
drinks
made,
including
Vsquebath,
or
Irish
aqua
vitcs
(a
recipe
for
which
we
will
give
in
its
proper
place),
and
doubtless
this
contributed
much
towards
the
tippling
habit
of
some
ladies
in
the
17th
and
L8th
centuries.
We
hear
somewhat
of
this
in
the
reign
of
good
Queen
Anne
(who,
by
the
bye,
was
irreverently
termed
"
Brandy-faced
Nan
"),
when
they
used
to
make,
and
drink,

Millefleurs,
Orangiat,

Pesicoi,
and
Citron
Water,
etc.,
etc.,
numerous
allusions
to
which
are
made
in
the
pages
of
"
The
Spectator,"
and
other
literature
of
the
times.
