Before doing so, however, he thought it advisable to return home, and accordingly shaped his course toward Cripplegate, and, passing through the postern, stopped at an apothecary's shop, and got his apparel fumigated and sprinkled with spirits of hartshorn and sulphur. On reaching Wood-street, he noticed, with some uneasiness, a number of persons gathered together before his dwelling.
In place of Miss Knag being stationed in her accustomed seat, preserving all the dignity and greatness of Madame Mantalini's representative, that worthy soul was reposing on a large box, bathed in tears, while three or four of the young ladies in close attendance upon her, together with the presence of hartshorn, vinegar, and other restoratives, would have borne ample testimony, even without the derangement of the head-dress and front row of curls, to her having fainted desperately.
Hartshorn and alcohol mixed together are very useful in taking spots out of cloth or merino, applied with something that will not leave lint. To Take Wax or Spermaceti out of Cloth. To Remove a Stopper from a Decanter.
She sent right over for me early the next morning to see if I knew of anything to take out the spots, but I didn't, though I can take grease out o' most any material. We tried clear alcohol, and saleratus-water, and hartshorn, and pouring water through, and heating of it, and when we got through it was worse than when we started.
Her arms slid away from him like lifeless weights, her head fell back upon her pillow, along sigh breathed through her lips. "She is faint," said Helen, doubtfully; "bring me the hartshorn, Sophy." The old woman had started from her place, and was now leaning over her, looking in her face, and listening for the sound of her breathing. "She 's dead! Elsie 's dead!
Tom added, with the brutal nonchalance which characterized his dealings with his mother and sister, that he was on his way to Philadelphia to join a company. The poor invalid was carried up the stairs in a faint by Banks and Romney. Patty, with pale face and lips compressed, ran to fetch the hartshorn. But Master Tom remained undisturbed. "I suppose you are going, Richard," he remarked affably.
It was also distilled to a volatile salts for fainting ladies, the same way that the horns of the male deer are manufactured into hartshorn. Originally it was in itself accounted an object of great curiosity.
Let us drop the curtain over the rest of the race Hartshorn won it in a neck-and-neck drive with Calloway just as Shea was flogging the bay colt past the sixteenth pole and we will lift the curtain again at the point where the judges summoned Pitkin into the stand to ask him for an explanation of Sergeant Smith's pitiful showing.
"Theo told me two hundred thousand dollars; but that woman said one. Oh, what will become of me! Give me the hartshorn, Maggie. I feel so faint!" The hartshorn was handed her, but it could not quiet her distress. Her family pride was sorely wounded, and had Theo been dead she would hardly have felt worse than she did. "How will she bear it when it comes to her knowledge, as it necessarily must?
Different and various are the external applications made to the head, in these circumstances; but all, usually, with the same success; they only produce a little temporary relief. The same may be said of the use of smelling bottles containing, as I believe they usually do, ammonia or hartshorn, cologne water, camphor, &c.
