has ceased, the extremities of the jugular veins having been previously tied. If the meat is to be kept for more than a few weeks, it should be washed with a mixed solution of chloride of aluminium and common salt and packed in air-tight barrels, or it may be kept in ordinary barrels simply packed with dry salt. Robin employed some of the volatile hydrocarbons, as ether, in a capsule or sponge placed within a case containing the substance to be treated, the vapor preventing corruption. Fish may be preserved for some time in sugar, either alone or with saltpeter or common salt; treated in this way, they retain their natural flavor to a greater degree than in the ordinary salting process; if afterward dried, they may be kept for an indefinite period. Smoking. This is usually employed in conjunction with salt. The meat, having been previously immersed in or thoroughly rubbed with salt, to which a proportion of sugar and saltpeter is usually added, is suspended over a smoldering
