To Loosen The Stopples Of Decanters And Smelling Bottles That Are Recipe

wedged in tight.



Dip the end of a feather in oil, and rub it round the stopple, close to

the mouth of the bottle; then put the bottle about a couple of feet from

the fire, having the mouth towards it. The heat will cause the oil to

run down between the stopple and mouth of the bottle. When warm, strike

the bottle gently on both sides, with any light wooden instrument that

you may happen to have. If the stopple cannot be taken out with the hand

at the end of this process, repeat it, and you will finally succeed by

persevering in it, however firmly it may be wedged in.
