Evidently he was appointed to that dignity for his services in the promotion of agriculture. Still be has not displaced the older Shan-nung, with whom on his father's side he had a connexion, as 'the Father of Husbandry. It is rattling in the dishes; It is distilled, and the steam floats about.
I can't remember the name of the last hospital I was at...." Ah, these hurried conversations sandwiched between my duties, when in four sentences the distilled essence of bitterness is dropped into my ear! "Sister, what will they do with Palmer?" "They are going to discharge him. They won't operate." "But what will happen to him?" "I don't know."
It seemed the quintessence of human experience, the ecstasy of perfect and enfranchising sorrow, distilled from the shackling, smirching half-sorrows of actual life. Some of the listening faces smiled; some were sodden, stupefied rather than enlightened; some showed a sensual rudimentary gratification; some, lapped in the tide, yet unaware of its significance, were merely silly.
Of course it will be adulterated, every intoxicant is, except pulque as at present made from the maguey by the Indians. The Mexicans have two other forms of spirituous liquors, namely mescal, which is also prepared from another species of the maguey, by pressing the leaves in a mill, the juice thus extracted being distilled; and aguardiente, or rum, made from sugar-cane juice.
The "sherbet-i-bidmishk," or "willow-flower sherbet," made from flowers of a particular kind of willow distilled in water, is perhaps the most popular of all among the higher classes, and is the most expensive. Yesterday the prince's party had been exceptionally lucky, and had had splendid sport.

"But, dearest, it is folly! you must be ill?" "Yes, I am just now, but I shall be all right when I have distilled the whites of eggs, one by one, into your amorous soul."

I plucked up several branches of wild laurel, from which I immediately distilled some white drops, one of which, having fallen upon my hand, occasioned a very smart pain, and a black spot, which took off the skin. I durst not venture to taste it.
Secondly, an electuary of bole-armoniac, hartshorn-shavings, saffron, and syrup of wood-sorrel. I long to taste it. But then it would be running in the doctor's teeth. Thirdly, there is a phial labelled Aqua Theriacalis Stillatitia in plain English, distilled treacle-water. A spoonful of this couldn't hurt me. Fourthly, a packet of powders, entitled Manus Christi an excellent mixture.
But they had proof of a love almost greater than it was previous to the offence, in the tender precautions they took to elude repulsion. He was rolling on the rug, communicating contagion. Flasks of treble- distilled lavender water, and their favourite, traditional in the family, eau d'Arquebusade, were on the toilet-table. They sprinkled his basket, liberally sprinkled the rug and the little dog.
