After being ground it is adulterated with wheat flour and turmeric ; as mustard contains no starch grains, the presence of wheat flour may easily be found by the use of the microscope. Turmeric may be known by its being colored brown by a weak solution of am- monia. Mustard is largely used as a condiment, and also in medi- cine ; swallowed in any quantity with water, it acts as a prompt emetic, and is useful in cases of poisoning ; mixed with water and made into a paste, it is applied to the sk...in in the form of a plaster. Mustard was little known before the year 1729. About that time, an old woman of the name of Clements, residing in Durham, England, began to grind the seed in a mill, and to pass the flour through the several processes necessary to free it from the husks. She kept the secret to herself for many years, during which she sold large quantities of mustard throughout the country, but especially in London. Here it was introduced to the royal table, and received the approval of George I.
