           Distillers Lute.
# Take two Parts of Whiting, one part of meal, and one
fourth of Salt, and add the necessary Water to make
a thick paste. When the apparatus is Shut put a
certain quantity of the lute around the Head applied
on some strips of Paper, and upon the Paper another
portion of the lute; it will dry very soon, and keep
very well. It will be easily understood that the
Salt, has no other virtue than to facilitate taking
off the lute when the operation is over, by
pouring some Water on it ___________
