Blanch. See Blanch.

Blend, a mineral substance resembling lead-ore, but containing very little of that metal.

Blend-Water, called also marborough, a distemper incident to black cattle, comes either from the blood, from the yellows, or from the change of ground.—In order to cure it, take bole ammoniac, and as much charcoal dust as will fill an egg-shell, a good quantity of the inner bark of an oak, dried and pounded together to a powder, and give it to the beast in a quart of new milk and a pint of earing.
