IVORY DUST JELLY (Invalid Cookery)

Put a pound of ivory powder into three quarts of cold water. Place it on a gentle fire, or in the oven, and let it simmer slowly for four or five hours, until the liquid is reduced more than half. Put it aside, and when quite cold and stiff, lift off the jellied part, being careful to leave the sediment untouched, and proceed as recommended for calf's foot jelly (see CALF'S FOOT JELLY). Ivory jelly is excellent for consumptive patients. Time, four or five hours to simmer the ivory dust. Probable cost, 10d. per pound. The above ingredients are sufficient for a pint and a half of jelly.
