Snuff Amber'd.

TAKE a Pound of Snuff of any Flowers, warm the Water, and melt in it twenty four Grains of Amber; throw over some Snuff gently, mixing it still with the Pestle till the Mortar is full, take it out, and mix it with the rest that is left, 'tis done.

As in Perfumes every one has his Opi∣nion, and a great many perhaps love Snuff very well perfum'd, some will have it of a sweet Smell, and yet strong, I hope I have pleased them in my Receipts. For if the Smells are too strong, let them put more Snuff to it after it has been per∣fum'd, and it will be sweeter, more or less will do the business, because the Pre∣parations are good: but above all, keep your Snuff very close in your Boxes, least it should be spoiled and lose its Vertue and Smell.
