FLM'ORING thwarts—One ’ of the most reinarkahie and in— teresting achievements of mo- dern chemistry has been the preparation of cer ain liquids possessing the flavors of vari- u us fruits So close indeed is Tthe resemblance that we are ialmost warranted in supposing: the flavor of" the fruits to be actually caused by the presence h of a trace of the above liquids. :‘Several of these articles are employed in confectionery, and are manufactured on a tolera- bly large scale. The acetate ofamylic oxyd,when dissolved in six times its bulk of alcohol, emits a powerful and agreea- ble odor of pears, and is used in flavoring pear drops. The vaierato of amyle, dissolved in

MAY.

15 alcohol, gives the scent and flavour of apples. Butyric- ether communicates the flavor of the pineapple, and is used in the preparation of various beverages—Various other com- pounds of the so—ealled fatty acids, with the oxyd of amyle and ethyle, possess very pleas- ing Odors.

RESUSCITATION or Duownnn

. Famous—«Dr. Marshall ~Hall,

an eminent physician of Lon- don, gives instructions for the ; resuscitation of persons appa- : rently drowned, at varience 1 with the methods now in use. 3 He saysz—There is one great ‘ impediment to the restoration 7- 0f the function of respiration, 'j which is the falling back of the " tongue across the top of the . glottis, or entrance into the J windpipe. In order to remove this, the patient is to be placed 1, upon his face and breast, and ' the body is to be turned slowly ‘ 0:1 to one side, and then re- - turned slowly to its former . position._ This motion, whose 1' effect is to cause a considerable . amount of air in the lungs to 1he expelled and re-inspired, is 2 ‘Zto he kept .up until breathing ~' 'is restored, or all hopes of re- >_ suscitation from this source I are ah‘ ndoned.
