Jelly

(jel'-e). In pharmacy, a soft, non-viscid, but somewhat elastic substance, of which hvdrated gelatin is the best example. Domestic fruit jellies consist of the inspi ated juice of the fruit, with one or two parts of sugar, together with the natural mucilage of the seeds of the fruit. Many of the imported jellies sold in the United States contain no fruit-juice, being for the greater part ordinary animal gelatin acidified with tartaric acid, and flavored artificially. J.,Glycerin.
