About twice as much water as fecula will bring the paste to proper consistency. |
It is this fecula which serves for making the rouge employed by ladies. |

The tubers being reduced to pulp with water, the fecula subsides, and is washed and dried for commerce. |
By means of a rose, c, water is sprinkled over the entire surface of the sieve and separates the fecula from the fibrous matter. |
