T< Entered according to Act of Congress In the year 1897, by T. M. Griffiths, in the office of the Libra- rian of Congress at Washington, D. C. All rights reserved. Mf PREFACE The necessity of a thoroughly reliable formula book for ready reference will be apparent to everyone engaged in the drug business or in any of its kindred branches. Especially useful will be a formula book written and compiled by one who has had thirty years practical experience in the laboratory. It contains valuable recipes used by well-known firms engaged in the manufacture of Pharmaceuticals and Druggists' Specialties. The formulas given for perfumeries, toilet articles and flavoring extracts, are those used by one of the largest firms in the United States, modified to suit the requirements of the retail trade. i The physicians' formulas are principally the prescriptions offered in com- petition for prizes given by a well-known journal. They are revised, corrected and commented upon by a distinguished physician, and are selected with the view of being useful to the busy medical practitioner. The formulae of the New York Hospital and the London Children's Hos- pital, will, it is hoped, be found a useful addition to the medical library. Full instructions and a complete line of formulas are given for preparing compressed tablets, tablet triturates and granular effervescent salts, medicinal lozenges, unofficinal pills, elixirs, solutions, emulsions, chlorodynes, anodynes, anaesthetics, liniments, insecticides, garden and lawn fertilizers, cements, glues and mucilages, marking, writing, copying and hektograph inks and pads, Infants' food, teething, soothing and cooling powders, the various remedies for infantile diseases are fully treated of. Recipes are also given for cleansing and scouring, and cleansing preparations, furniture creams and polishes, metal cleaning and polishing preparations, soap and soap making (on a small scale), deodorants and disinfectants. To these are added a complete formulary of curry powders, sausage and meat flavorings, Worcestershire sauces, digestive relishes, baking powder of every variety, including alum, acid phosphate, cream of tartar and tartaric acid, slow and quick rising, as well as flavoring extracts of standard and superior grades, soluble lemon, soluble ginger, ginger ale and soluble tincture of tolu, fruit flavors from the ethers and from pure fruit juices, syrups, root beer and root beer extracts, shoe dressings and polishes, stove and grate enamels, beverages and liqueurs, tasteless syrup of quinine, and formulas for making goods similar to many of the leading proprietaries. The formulas for the home treatment of Dipsomania are written by a physician who has had several years of practical experience as house physician in the Keeley Institute in Dwight, Illinois. Of especial interest to retail druggists and to photographic amateurs, are the articles on "How to do the photographic trade," and the way to make it pay, the material to keep in stock, how to make the various chemical solutions and developers, to take, print and mount photographs, how to prepare the dark room, etc., etc., being a complete guide to the details of the photographic art. (iii) iv PREFACE. The veterinary part of the work is very complete indeed, and embraces valuable formulas for stock foods, condition powders, hog cholera remedies, poultry powders, poultry tonics and bird remedies; to which is added a treatise on the diseases of domestic animals and pets, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, dogs, poultry, turkeys, geese, rabbits, pigeons and canaries, their treatment and cure. The article on perfumery is a practical guide for the manufacture of every- thing connected with the perfumers' art, and written with especial care to meet the wants of those who, with a very small outlay of capital desire to engage in a pleasant, profitable business, and who do not desire to in- vest much money in the venture until assured of success. Full instructions are given for preparing the higher grades of handkerchief extracts usually sold at #3.50 to $4.00 per pound; also a full line of formulas for making the cheaper kind of goods from essential oils and tinctures. The latter formulas will be found valuable in enabling the manufacturer to compete successfully with the grade of goods offered at a low price by department stores. In this part of the book are also added reliable formulas for colognes, cologne mixtures, bay rums and bay rum mixtures, Florida waters, Florida water mixtures, lavender water, violet waters, verbena and other toilet waters of pronounced excellence; sachet powders, fumigating pastilles, solid or frozen perfumes, toilet powders, infant powders, toilet creams, enamels, cold creams, camphor ices, freckle creams, arsenical and other face lotions, milk of roses, cream of roses, frostilline, shampoos, dandruff pomades, brilliantine, lip salve, shaving creams, stick pomades, cocoanut cream, and many other toilet preparations that command a ready sale. The part devoted to preparations for the hair contains formulae for hair colorers, hair dyes, quinine and jaborandi hair tonics, with explicit directions for their manufacture. The article on dental preparations comprises tooth powders, tooth pastes, antiseptic tooth washes and dental obtundents, together with many other formulas useful to the dental profession. In the keen competition of these days there is an urgent demand for reliable formulas fo compete with the great number of proprietary remedies in the market, „ Substitution by unscrupulous parties of worthless preparations to replace articles of acknowledged merit, is dishonest first, last and all the time; but surely the druggist has a perfect right to compete with advertised remedies by offering, praising and pushing the sale of his own preparations when he makes them of good material and by a meritorious formula. Furthermore, should he take pains to convince the physicians in his neighborhood of the excellence of the goods of his own manufacture, and succeed in having them prescribed, it surely comes under the head of fair business competition, and cannot be objected to, unless by those who are so blinded by avarice that they are unwilling to acknowledge any virtue in a preparation, unless they are pecuniarily interested in the profits. In the determined fight the druggists are making o gainst monopolies, a book of reliable formulas will be of benefit in evening up profits. Bearing this in mind, there is a good line of formulae inserted for the production of goods similar to and in many cases superior to such well-known articles as acid phosphate, ammonol, antikamnia, aristol, Ayer's sarsaparilla, Baby's quinine, beef, celery and sarsaparilla, bismuth hair dye, blackberry brandy, blood and kidney tea, PREFACE.

While expressing my thanks and obligations to all sources from which I quote, I am especially indebted to the Scientific American Encyclopedia for some of its admirable articles on cleaning, scouring, photography, cements and insecti- cides; to the Standard Formulary for its article on Elixirs; to the Pharmaceutical Era, The Western Druggist, The London Chemist and Druggist, The Druggists' Circular and to Scoville's Art of Dispensing, for many useful articles and formulae. I trust that it is not necessary to insist upon any claim to the average degree of originality, for if the book does not bear the evidence of honest and independent work by one familiar with the pestle and mortar, it is a defect not likely to be removed by the most eloquent and argumentative of prefaces.

Taylor for analysis. According to the report of the latter, which was sent by Dr. O'Neil to the "Lancet": XOX-SECRET FORMULAS. ■•The quantity of the liquid contained in the bottle was 8 ounces. It had a dark-brown color, but was clear and free from any sedi- ment. It had the smell of chloric ether (a compound of alcohol and chloroform), and a sweetish saline taste, which was not unpleas- ant. Its reaction on test paper was alkaline. On shaking it, it formed a brown-colored froth. When evaporated to dryness it left a thick dark saccharine extract, weighing, for the U ounce, about 29 grains. When this extract' was incinerated it left a white saline residue, which proved to be iodide of potassium. The brown coloring matter had the usual proper- ties of burnt sugar (caramel). In addition the mixture contained a small quantity of solu- tion of potash, just sufficient to correct the acidity of the burnt sugar. Alcohol and chloroform (as chloric ether) were detected in it. Arsenic, antimony, lead, copper, and other metallic poisons were sought for, but the mix- ture was found to be quite free from any metallic impregnation. '•The composition of the mixture was found to be as follows in 8 ounces: Potassium iodide 64 grains. Chloric ether, B. P. ....... 4 drams. Liquor potassae, B. P 30 minims Water, colored with burnt sugar to the requisite tint 7% ounces. It is. nevertheless, the general opinion that decoction of hemidesmus, or sarsaparilla, is used in place of burnt sugar." 15. For Eczema, Patches on the Face, &c. Liq. arsenicalis 32 minims.

It was clearly understood last year that, in sympathy with what is said of it in history, it had worn itself out by its attacks upon long suffering man, and had retired. It was not expected to return again until towards the middle of the twentieth century; but here it is once more, vigorous and fatal. The mild cases of a fortnight ago are succeeded by others of a more severe type, as in past times, this phenomenon being characteristic of epidemic diseases due to bacillary influence. Given man or woman just now with aching limbs, intense headache, occasional sickness, bloodshot eyes, haggard appearance, shivering, pulse 90 to 100 and feeble, and temperature from 100° to 104°, that man or woman should be told to go home to bed. This is a measure of precaution which must not be avoided. The treatment may take the following course: 633. To Relieve the Headache. Phenacetin 6 grains. To be taken every four hours in warm water. 633. To Produce Diaphoresis. Potassae bicarb 15 grains. Ammon. carb 6 grains. Tr. aconiti 2 minims. Spt. aether nit 1 dram. Vin. ipecac i/ 2 dram. Aq. chloroformi ad 2 ounces M. Acid citric 20 grains. Div. in pulv. two. Half of the mixture to be taken with a powder on going to bed, and to be followed by hot tea or coffee, hot gruel, or hot spirits and water. The second half of the mixture to be taken two hours later. This mixture is excellent at the onset of the complaint and it generally suffices to produce sufficient diaphoresis, so that the next morn- ing the more severe symptoms, such as head- ache and aching limbs, have subsided. If not, it should be repeated and the phenacetin powders continued. By giving 6 ounce bot- tles of the mixture the circumstances of the majority of cases will be met: but after the second dose, the mixture should not be taken oftener than every four hours. It is quite essential to maintain the patient's strength from the first— a not altogether easy thing to do for food is repugnant. However, occa- sional spoonfuls of beef-tea made from meat- extract, chicken-broth, port wine (coca and cinchona wines are particularly serviceable), and soda and milk are refused by few, and suffice for the purpose. "When the feverish symptoms subside — and that happens from two to four days after .the onset — the follow- ing mixture should be given: 634. Quininae sulph 6 grains. Acid, hydrobrom. dil 1 dram. Tr. nucis vom 20 minims. Tr. cardam. co 2 drams. Aq. ad 6 ounces. M. A sixth part thrice a day immediately be- fore food. Of course any good tonic will suit the pur- pose equally well, but the tendency is to overdose — for example, teaspoonful doses of Easton's syrup, and corresponding quantities of hypophosphite and hypobromate syrups, may really do as much harm as good. Twenty-minim doses are quite sufficient in most cases. In the weakness following in- fluenza the use of mild stimulants is of great benefit, and this is specially true of medicated wines. If cough and other bronchial symp- toms supervene, the greatest care must be exercised by the patient, as pneumonia rs responsible for many, if not most of the deaths. Children affected by the disease should be treated in the same manner as adults, and the diaphoretic mixture mentioned above may bo given in half-doses for those between 14 and 18. For children under 14 the following is a reliable mixture: 635. Potass, chlorat % dram. Potass, bicarb 1 dram. Liq. ammon. acet 6 drams. Vin. ipecac 2 drams. Syr. aurantii V 2 ounce. Aq. ad 6 ounces.

Some people are peculiarly sxisceptible to its bad influ- ences. In view of this susceptibility, and of the uncertainty which to an extent exists as to the best moderate dose of antipyrin, we may conclude that 5 grains three times a day is quite sufficient as a beginning dose in the vast majority of cases, and that in a fair pro- portion of instances even smaller quantities will be equally beneficial. 681.

(Ch. & Dr.) Creasote 10 minims. Spirit of chloroform 1 dram. Glycerine y 2 ounce. Water to 8 ounces. Dissolve the creasote in the spirit, and add with brisk shaking to the glycerine and water previously mixed. If a stronger gargle (5 minims or 10 minims to 1 ounce) is required, the creasote should be mixed with fresh milk (10 minims to 1 dram) and then diluted with water. The emulsion formed is perfect. 703, Ringworm Application. (Cli. &Dr.) Creasoti 30 minims. Glycerini 2 drams. Acid, acetic, glacial 2y 2 drams. 01. amygdal. ess 10 minims. Tr. lavand. co 1 dram. Dissolve creasote and ol. amygdal. in 2 drams of alcohol; add other ingredients, mak- ing up to 1 ounce with alcohol. 704. Creasote Pills. (Ch. & Dr.) I wish to give my experience of creasote pills, which have been discussed in the * -Dis- pensing Notes" for the last two weeks. I have had large quantities to make for a cus- tomer at regular periods for three or four years, and I tried all the folllowing excipients with unsatisfactory results: Curd soap, pulv. glycyrrhizae, pulv. althaeae, pulv. acaciae, pulv. tragac. co., ext. malt. All these exude oil. no matter how much powder is used. I then tried flour, with happy results. It leaves the mortar perfectly clean, without the slightest oiliness. Its only fault is a ut- ile elasticity; but this is nothing compared to the nasty crumbly oiliness of the. other exci- pients. The form I use is this: Guaiacol or creasote % ounce. Flour 3 ounce. Mass with inucil. acaciae and divide in ten lots of twenty-four pills each. 906. Creasote Pills. The following formula for "creasote pills" , has been sent to us by Mr. A. Fetchner, j chemist, of Cairo, who claims the advantages over other excipients in being easy to mani- pulate, readily soluble in water, and no diffi- culty in coating: Creasoti 12 minims. Glycerini pur 3 minims. Pulv. succ. glycyrrhizae. . . 12 grains. Pulv. rad. do 24 grains. M. Ft. niassa. Divide in 12 pills. Mix the creasote with glycerine in a mor- tar, then add the pulv. succ. glycyrrh. and rub together for a minute or two (which forms an emulsion with the creasote); lastly add the pulv. rad. glyc. and mass. A little more powder may be added, if necessary, and by doubling the quantity of glycerine the mass will keep of a pilular con- sistence any length of time. Roll in finely- powdered cinnamon-bark. 706. The second is a formula for creasote pills: Creasote 2 parts. Pulv. saponis 1 part. Pulv. benzoin 1 part. Mix and add— Pulv. glycyrrh q. s. These pills are small, of good consistence, do not get hard, and keep their shape. H. L. Grimes says (Merck's Rep.) that owing to the peculiar and persistently pun- gent taste of creasote, there is nothing short of the gelatin capsule that will completely mask it. However, as this form of adminis- tration is not always eligible, efforts were made to combine the drug with other agents calculated to modify the pungency of the drug to a greater or lesser extent, and make the medicament more acceptable to the palate and to the stomach. In all pharmaceutical preparations of creasote, intended for inter- nal use, none but the purest beech-wood cre- asote should be used. The three appended formulas have been deduced by experiments and the products have received the approval of many very promineqt physicians. 707. Wine of Creasote. Creasote (Beech-wood) ... 96 minims. Alcohol 1 A- ounce. Oil cinnamon 24 drops. Oil cloves 12 drops. Oil anise 12 drops. Syrup orange-peel 4 fl. ounces. Sherry wine 8 fl. ounces. Simple elixir, enough to make 10 fl. ounce?. Dissolve the creasote and oils in the alco- hol, add the wine, syrup and elixir, arfd filter through purified talcum. Emulsion of Creasote. Creasote (Beech-wood) 768 minims. Powdered acacia 10S0 grains. Water, enough to make. . . 32 fl. ounces. 68 XOX-SECRET FORMULAS. Triturate the creasote with the acacia in a dry mortar, and add, all at once, 27 fluid drams of water; stir briskly with the pestle until the nucleus of the emulsion is formed, and add enough water to make 2 pints; finally strain through a cloth. Perhaps the most admirable combination is: Creasoted Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with 709. Hypophosphites. Cod-liver oil 32 fl. ounces. Creasote (Beech-wood) 6% fl. drams. Powdered acacia 8 ounces. Glycerin 4 fl. ounces. Syrup orange-peel 2 fl. ounces. Calcium hypophosphite. . . 555 grains. Sodium hypophosphite. . . . 555 grains. Oil wintergreen 2 fl. drams. Oil sassafras 2 fl. drams. Oil. cinnamon 2 fl. drams. Distilled water," enough to make 4 pints. Mix the cod-liver oil, creasote, and essential oils, with the acacia, in a dry mortar; dis- solve the hypophosphites in 12 fluid ounces of warm water, pour the solution, all at once, into the mixture of oils, creasote and acacia, and stir briskly in one direction with the pestle until emulsification takes place; then add the glycerine, syrup, and enough water to make 4 pints, and strain through a cloth. Recently-distilled water should preferably be used in these emulsions; but if none is at hand, water that has been freshly boiled and filtered will serve the purpose. In cold weather the water should be slightly warmed, else the emulsion will be very slow in form- ing. The creasote in the latter emulsion temporarily obtunds 'the sense of taste to a considerable degree while the preparation is being swallowed, and helps to conceal, in a measure, the unpleasant taste of cod-liver oil.

Ointment of iodine. — Iodine is very soluble in vaseline, and it is supposed enters partially into combination with the hydrocarbon, giv- ing rise to a considerable effervescence (prob- ble hydrogen being displaced). Iodine dis- solves slowly in vaseline if allowed to macer- ate in it or if rubbed up with it, but for oint- ment of iodine the following gives the best results: Iodine 20 grains. Alcohol q. s. Vaseline 1 ounce. Dissolve the iodine in the alcohol, and mix with the vaseline p'aced on a hot water bath. Very little iodine will be evaporated during the operation. r84. Iodide of Iron Ointment. Iodide of Iron Ointment. — If iron be added to a solution of iodine in vaseline and re- peatedly shaken (the whole kept liquid on a water bath), the almost black color of the 76 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. iodine disappears, and if an excess of iron be employed the color becomes green, and if it be then filtered the ointment will have a beautiful emerald green color through trans- mitted light and almost black by reflected light. Iodine 4 drams. Iron filings 12 drams. Vaseline 16 ounces. This iodide of iron ointment is stable and almost without taste. Prepare from it a jelly by adding an equal quantity of very fine sugar, in which manner it could be easily taken by children. Mr. B. Fougera, of Brook- lyn, has also prepared a bromide and chloride in like manner, and suggests its use in keep- ing the protosalts of iron by enveloping them in it. Ointment for Barber's Itch.

It will be very fine, solid, and transparent when cold. The liquid opodeldoc is prepared by taking 2 ounces castile soap shavings, and dissolving them in one quart alcohol, with gentle heat; then add 1 ounce camphor, % ounce oil rosemary, and 2 ounces spirits harts- horn (aqua ammonia). 800.

Melt the first four, transfer to the shop-pot, add the camphor and perfumes. Stir, and cover the pot. Camphor has very little action in healing skin-fissures; it is a mild antiseptic, but the reason that camphor-ball does good is that, being a cerate, it is a protective. 801. Mayer's Ointment. Prof. J. U. Lloyd, in 1S90, contributed an article to the Era on the history of this pre- i paration, for Mhich he gave the following | formula from the Eclectic Dispensatory of | 1852, with these remarks: Formula for Mayer's Ointment. — To olive oil, two pounds and a half, add white tur- pentine, half a pound; beeswax, unsalted but- ter, of each, four ounces; melt them together and heat to nearly the boiling point. Then add gradually red lead, one pound, and stir I constantly until the mixture becomes black or brown; then remove from the fire, and when it has become somewhat cool, add to it a mixture of honey, twelve ounces, powdered camphor, half a pound. Uses. — "This forms a superior salve, and is useful for all ulcers, cuts, wounds, etc. It has been kept a great secret for a length of time among the foreign population of our country, and is highly prized by those who have used it." Remarks. — The mixture of olive oil, bees- wax and greases (lard will answer instead of butter), should be heated over direct fire until they will effervesce, when a little red lead i& added thereto. The vessel containing them should be iron and of four times the capacity of the batch. The red lead should be added cautiously, a tablespoonful at a time for a fifty-pound batch and well stirred after each addition, the red color changing to brown quickly if the temperature is high enough. After the reaction is completed, and the mix- ture is cool enough to receive the honey with- out violent effervescence, it should be added and stirred well to evaporate the water. Lastly, when the mixture is cool enough to dissolve the camphor without vaporization, it must be added and dissolved. This point must be determined nicely to prevent the loss of camphor ffom evaporation, or roughness of the ointment by reason of undissolved parti- cles of camphor. Mayer's ointment has a dark brown color (not red), and is about the consistence of simple cerate. The prominent odor of camphor overcomes the peculiar odor of the other ingredients, and even the familiar rank odor of olive oil that has been heated in con- tact with litharge or red lead is scarcely per- ceptible. Mayer's ointment should be per- fectly smooth and free from grit or rough- ness. 78 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 802. Screw Worm Ointment. Laundry soap, yellow .... GO pounds. Yellow rosin 5 pounds.

ANTIPYRETICS AND ANTISEPTICS. Kaninafuga— A Substitution Product. 822. Sir: I send you a formula for publication in The Chemist and Druggist which 1 think will prove acceptable to the pharmacists of the whole country. Yours respectfully, R. N. GIRLING. New Orleans, December 11. Acetanilide 50 grammes. Caffeine 2 grammes. Tartaric acid 3 grammes. Sodium bicarbonate 45 grammes. Mix thoroughly. Kamnafuga will be found an excellent anti- pyretic and analgesic. It should be brought to the notice of the physicians of the whole country, as it is eminently fitted to take the place of a certain high-priced proprietary arti- cle which is largely advertised. The low price at which kamnafuga can be sold to the public should bring it into favor with physi- cians. 823. Analysis of Ammonol. Dr. R. J. Eccles has made an analysis of the proprietary article sold as ammonol, the result of which he publishes in the Druggists' Circular. He concludes his paper by saying that. '"The exact determination of the quan- tities of the various ingredients in a mixture like this is one of great difficulty, aud takes much time. The determination with suffi- : cient accuracy to be able to practically dupli- cate them is not quite so difficult. If the reader who is curious to experiment with such preparations will take 6 parts of ace- j tanilid, 3 parts of sodium bicarbonate and 1% parts of ammonium carbonate and mix them I together he will get a preparation giving all ! the medicinal results that can be had from J ammonol. If he will add 20 centigrams of ! methyl orange to every 1,000 grams of such j a mixture and then incorporate with this enough curcumin to give the whole the same yeHow tinge as is possessed by ammonol, he will practically be able to duplicate its va- rious chemical reactions as well as its medic- ' inal. it will be well for druggists to call ■ the attention of medical men who use am- ! monol to these facts." 824.

Lundy, of Detroit, read a paper on "Hygiene in Re- lation to the Eye," which should have the widest circulation, especially among teachers and school officers. A fruitful source of eye troubles is shown to be the excessive strain upon the mtscles and nerves of the eyes due to faulty educational methods, the ill-planned and insufficient lighting of school rooms, poor ink and fine print in school books, and other causes which education might correct. In conclusior, Dr. Lundy laid down the follow- ing rules for the better care of the eyes: 1. Avoid reading and study by poor light. 2. Light should come from the side, and not from the back or front. 3. Do not read or study while suffering great bodily fatigue or during recovery from illness. 4. Do not read while lying down. 5. Do not use the eyes too long at a time for near work, but give them occasional periods of rest. 6. Reading and study should be done syste- matically. 7. During study, avoid the stooping po- sition, or whatever tends to produce conges- tion of the head and face. 8. Select well printed books. 9. Correct errors of refraction with proper glasses. 10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions and the use of alcohol and tobacco. 11. Take sufficient exercise in the open air. 12. Let the physical keep pace with the mental culture, for asthenopia is most usually observed in those who are lacking in physical development. Another set of rules which gives additional information on the care of the eyes are drawn up to serve as a guide to students and others working by artificial light: 1. If the work be carried on at a table, the cover should be green. 2. If the light be given from a lamp or candle, it should be so covered with a shade as to prevent the glare from falling on the eye. 3. It will, in addition, be advantageous to have the candle or lamp covered with a globe or chimney of tinted glass; which may be green, blue, or opaline. 4. If gas is used it may be brought down by means of an india-rubber pipe to a. iamp placed on the table, which may be arranged as before recommended. 5. If this cannot well be done, the gas globes may be of tinted glass, and the person should wear a shade over the eyes, or should sit with his back to the light. 6. If there is any defect of vision, compen- sating glasses should be worn, and they may be made of tinted glass. Reading by firelight is also injurious on ac- count of the glare, the quickly repeated dila- tations and contractions of the iris, due to the changes in the intensity of the light, and the frequent alteration of the accommodation of the eye which the latter necessitates. Per- sons as cooks, compelled to work before a strong fire, should, if they experience any ocular inconvenience from the practice, wear smoked glasses. CHILBLAINS. 860. Chilblain Einiment.

When thus applied, the fluid in a few min- utes forms a varnish on the skin, and causes the chilblain and swelling to disappear.

"Table beer of a superior quality may be brewed in the following manner, a process well worth the attention of the gentleman, the mechanic, and the farmer, whereby the beer is altogether prevented from working out of the cask, and the fermentation con- ducted without any apparent admission of the external air. I have made the scale for one barrel in order to make it more generally use- ful to the community at large; however, the same proportions will answer for a greater or less quantity, only proportioning the mater- ials and utensils. Take one peck of good malt, ground, 1 pound of hops, put them in twenty-gallons of water, and boil them for half an hour; then run them into a hair cloth bag or sieve, so as to keep back the hops and malt from the wort, which, when cooled down to 60° by Fahrenheit's thermometer, add to it 2 gallons of molasses, with 1 pint, or a little less, of good yeast. Mix these with your wort, and put the whole into a clean barrel, and fill it up with cold water to within six inches of the bung hole (this space is requisite to leave room for fermentation), bung down tight. If brewed for family use. would recommend putting in the cock at the same time, as it will prevent the necessity of disturbing the cask afterward. In one fort- night this beer may be drawn and will be found to improve." — Eng. Mech. 986. Beer Touic. Syrup of Baume, 22° 5 gallons. Oil of wintergreen 2 drams. Oil of sassafras 2 drams.

Then add 35 gallons of water at blood heat, and ferment with suf- ficient yeast. To this add Salicylic acid 1 dram. Dissolved in conjunction with 1 dram of baking soda in a small glass of water. After it has ceased effervescing, add to the ferment- ing beer. The object of using this minute quantity is to prevent putrefactive fermenta- tion. The natural vinous ferments will not be obstructed by it. — American Bottler. 96 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 987. Root Beer Extract. Tincture of ginger 12 ounces. Extract of vanilla 12 ounces.

Oil of bitter almonds V 2 ounce. Oil of coriander 1 ounce. Oil of carraway y 2 ounce. Mix the whole of the oils with a gallon of spirits of wine 60 o. p., having first taken the precaution of rubbing them down in a mortar with a little lump sugar; add this to the spirit, and after having well mixed the whole, add seventeen gallons of water. Fine it down with Alum 4 ounces, Salt of tartar 4 ounces. 1033. To Make Up Gin for Sale. (For 100 Gallons.) Oil of juniper 1 ounce. Oil of bitter almonds % ounce. Oil of carraway % ounce. Oil of cassia % ounce. Oil of vitriol % ounce. Rub the whole of these down in a mortar with a little sugar and a quart of spirits of wine 60 o. p. Boil 1 ounce of chillies in a quart of water gently, until it has reduced to a pint, and strain. Put the whole into the gin, with forty-five pounds of lump sugar, and twenty-five gallons of water. This gin, which is in reality about 35 u. p., will taste as full of fla\or and as strong as 17 u. p. 1034. To Improve a Puncheon of Rum. After the rum has been racked into the vat and reduced to the selling strength, add six gallons of good old sound porter, four pounds of honey well mixed with a gallon of the rum, and a pound of green tea. The addi- tion of a couple of pounds of prunes is, I think, an improvement; they should be struck with a hammer, to break the stones. After all is in the vat, rouse it well up, night and morning, for three days. If the honey pre- vents its going bright in the usual time, add half a pint of ale finings, which will have the desired effect. FOREIGN LIQUEURS. Directions for Mixing and Manag- 1035. ing, etc. As the following recipes contain merely the names and quantities of the several ingredi- ents, the instructions for the method of pro- ceeding with them must be particularly attended to, — viz.: All dry substances, such as cloves, cinna- mon, etc., should be ground. Leaves and flowers, orange peel, figs, etc., and all fresh and soft substances, must be cut up into the smallest possible pieces, and always used fresh, if they can be procured; if not, use them dry; but double the quantity will in many instances be required. Almonds and fruit kernels must be beaten to a paste in a marble mortar, with a small quantity of spirit, to prevent them oiling. When the several ingredients have been prepared as above, put them into a jar, well i corked up, with the quantity of spirit ordered, ! and allow it to remain a month, shaking it | frequently every day, and if possible, kept 1 in a very warm situation; at the expiration of i this time, pour off the spirit, and add the quantity of water ordered in the recipe; let this stand a few days, shaking it up as before; then pour off, press out all the liquid, and mix with the spirit; add the sugar and color- ing matter, and filter through a flannel bag. If essential oils are ordered, a small quantity of the pure spirit should be kept back to mix with them, and added to the other materials previous to filtering. 100 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. In a few instances, gold and silver leaf is ordered, which is prepared in the following ■manner: — get a few leaves, such as are used by gilders, and spread them on a plate which has a little thin sirop on it; cover the leaf also with the sirop, and with two forks tear it into small pieces about the size of a canary- seed. These precautions are necessary, as, if you attempt to break them in a dry state, one-half will go into dust, and spoil the appearance of the liquor; it should not be added until the liqueur is in the bottles.

On the Preparation of Hydrobromic and 1391. Hydriodic Acids.* By J. H. Kastle and J. H. Bullock. It is doubtful if any of the methods pro- posed for the preparation of these two acids have ever come into general use. That such is the case is shown by the fact that the whole treatment of the chemistry of these two acids is quite brief in even the better text-books and treatises on chemistry. And yet it is just by the aid of these compounds that the greatest knowledge can be gained concerning the chemistry of the halogen family, and it is through the study of these hydrogen compounds that we can make the most satisfactory comparison of chlorine, bromine and iodine. If, for example, it can actually be shown the student, in the case of hydrochloric and hydriodic acids, that both of these substances are heavy, colorless gases, which fume in the air, have powerful acid odors and dissolve in water with great readiness, forming strongly acid solutions, one of which remains unaltered under ordi- nary conditions — the other changing; and, further, that one of these compounds cannot ♦Reprinted from Amer. Chem. Journ. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 123 be decomposed *by heat alone, whereas the other can with the greatest ease; that one is readily attacked by oxidizing agents, the other not — if these phenomena can actually be brought before the student, it is more than likely that he will have some clear concep- tions as to the real resemblances and differ- ences existing between chlorine and iodine. On the other hand, if he is shown a great deal about hydrochloric acid and little or nothing about the corresponding iodine compound, as is usually the case, he will probably quit the subject with no clear conceptions as to the nature of the latter compound, and in some instances he may even be troubled with doubts as to its existence. And, further, if attractive and brilliant experiments are possi- ble at all they are possible with just such un- stable compounds as these. Realizing the importance of having the un- stable halogen acids at their disposal, chem- ists have made quite a number of attempts to devise satisfactory methods for their pre- paration. Of the many methods which have been proposed for the preparation of hydro- bromic acid two are certainly worthy of no- tice as yielding good results. One of these, described by Erdmann, consists in bringing bromine slowly into benzene containing a little ferrous bromide, and purifying the re- sulting hydrobromic acid gas by passing it through a tube containing ferric bromide and finally through one containing anthracene. The other method, that of Champion and Pellet, consists in leading bromine into paraf- fin heated to 185° C. It is believed, however, that the method herein proposed for making hydrobromic acid is simpler and better than either of the above, for these reasons: First, the materials used are easy to obtain; second, no brominating agent is necessary, and third, the formation of the hydrobromic acid gas proceeds regu- larly, smoothly and rapidly without the aid of heat, and with little or no attention after the flow of bromine has once been regulated. Of the methods proposed for the preparation of hydriodic acid, that involving the use of red phosphorus, iodine and water seems to have come into most general use. The objec- tion to this method is that, unless great pre- cautions are taken in the beginning, explo- sions are liable to occur. Hence, it is be- lieved that the method here recommended for the preparation of this acid has advantages over the old method involving the use of red phosphorus, for the reason that no precau- tions whatever need be taken in preparing the acid rapidly by the process here de- scribed. 1293. Preparation of Hydrobromic Acid. The method here proposed for the prepara- tion of this acid takes advantage of the re- action between bromine and naphthalene. Any one who has ever had occasion to bring these two substances together has doubtless remarked the great ease with which they react upon each other. When brought to- gether even at ordinary temperatures tor- rents of hydrobromic acid are evolved. Therefore it occurred to one of us (Kastle) that this reaction might be employed in the preparation of hydrobromic acid. Such, in- deed, has proven to be the case, the mode of procedure being as follows: About 15 to 20 grams of naphthalene are dissolved in a small quantity of orthoxylene and the solution placed in a Florence flask of one-half to one .liter capacity. The flask is connected, by means of a bent glass tube, with a double- neck Woulff' s bottle, which is partially filled with a solution of concentrated hydrobromic acid,* holding a small quantity of red phos- phorus in suspension, and in turn is con- nected with a U-tube containing red phos- phorus and one or more drying tubes partly filled with phosphorus pentoxide. Attached to the farther end of the drying tubes is a tube for the delivery of the dry hydrobromic acid gas. The bromine is introduced into the solution of naphthalene in the flask by means of a tap-funnel, the end of which dips be- neath the surface of the liquid. On allowing the bromine to flow slowly into the solution of the naphthalene action takes place at once and hydrobromic acid is rapidly evolved. By passing the gas through the concentrated aqueous hydrobromic acid containing red phosphorus in suspension it is deprived of any free bromine that may pass over along with it (which, by the way, is never present in any considerable quantity), so that, after passing through the U-tube containing dry red phosphorus and the drying tubes, it is obtained as a perfectly colorless gas. With this simple apparatus, and working with the quantities given in the above, the acid can be prepared quite as rapidly as hydrochloric acid can be prepared from sulphuric acid and salt, and with no more trouble or attention for the reason that, if the flow of bromine into the solution of the naphthalene be once properly regulated, the formation of the acid proceeds regularly and automatically. In order to obviate the use of xylene, which is ♦The object in using a concentrated solu- tion of hydrobromic acid is that this solution allows all of the hydrobromic acid gas to pass through, and, at the same time, dis- solves and retains any free bromine better than water, thereby giving the red phos- phorus a chance to combine with it. 124 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. not always easily obtained, some experiments were tried in which kerosene boiling above 150° C. was used as a solvent for the naph- thalene. It was found to work just as satis- factorily as the purest orthoxylene. And, lastly, to put the method entirely within the reach of all lecturers upon chemistry, some experiments were tried with moth balls,* which were found to consist almost, if not entirely, of naphthalene, in the place of the pure naphthalene. This preparation, viz., the moth balls, was found to serve the pur- pose quite as well as the purest naphthalene, as will be seen from the following results :f I. — 50 grams of bromine, with 15 grams of naphthalene, dissolved in 50 cc. of orthoxy- lene, gave 21 grams of hydrobromic acid. Theory=26 grams of HBr. II. — 90 grams of bromine, with 15 grams of naphthalene, dissolved in 50 cc. xylene, gave 33 grams of hydrobromic acid. Theory=46 grams. III. — 105 grams of bromine, with 12.8 grams of naphthalene, dissolved in 20 grams of xylene, gave 40.5 grams of hydrobromic acid. Theory =53.5 grams HBr. IV. — 95 grams of bromine, with 12 grams of naphthalene (in form of moth balls) dissolved in a small quantity of kerosene, gave 47.5 grams of hydrobromic acid. Theory=48.5 grams HBr. V.J — 95 grams of bromine, with 12 grams of naphthalene (in form of moth balls) dis- solved in a small quantity of kerosene, gave 60.5 grams of hydrobromic acid. Theory = 48.5 grams of HBr. In all there was obtained 202.5 grams of hydrobromic acid, the theory being 222.5 grams for the quantity of bromine used, a loss of only 9.1 per cent. In addition to these experiments, which were conducted with the view of finding out the quantity of hydrobromic acid set free, the method has been tried upon the lecture table with entire success. The gas was collected, handled and experimented- with with the greatest ease. The method is certainly to be recommended for lecture work and for the preparation of large quantities of the acid. 1393. Preparation of Hydriodic Acid. The method here proposed for the prepara- tion of this acid depends upon a reaction first observed by Etard and Moissan, viz., that when iodine and common resin (colophony) are heated together hydriodic acid is evolved. Not having access to the original papers of Etard and Moissan upon this subject, we are unable to judge from the abstract whether it was ever proposed to utilize the reaction in the preparation of the acid, or whether it was simply their object to call attention to it as being one of the reactions of which iodine is capable. Be this as it may, it is certain that this simple mode of preparation of hy- driodic acid has escaped the notice of Amer- ican chemists; at least it has never come into general use; and hence it cannot be amiss to call attention to it with such modifications as have been found advantageous. When a mixture of iodine and common resin, in about equal parts by bulk, is heated, hydriodic acid, together with small quantities of iodine, are evolved. The mixture foams considerably, however, and a black, disagree- ble liquid distills over. To obviate this and to render the hydriodic acid as pure as possible the following method was tried successfully: Ten grams of finely divided iodine are mixed with an equal bulk of finely powdered resin and this mixture is then intimately mixed with a little more than an equal bulk of white sand. The mixture of iodine, resin and sand is then placed in a small glass retort, the neck of which, accurately fitted with a cork, is connected with one of the necks of a double-neck Woulff's bottle, and extends for some distance into the Woulff's bottle. The other neck of the Woulff's bottle is connected with a U-tube containing red phosphorus. This U-tube in turn is connected with a calcium chloride cylinder, which is filled with alternate layers of glass-wool and phosphorus pentoxide, the calcium chloride cylinder being connected with a tube for the delivery of the gas. On gently heating the retort containing the mixture of iodine, resin and sand hydriodic acid gas is freely evolved, together with small quantities of iodine and the brownish liquid to which reference has already been made. *As the name indicates, these moth balls are used for protecting clothing against moth. The preparations sold under that name in this part of the country has been found to con- sist almost, if not entirely, of naphthalene, and may be obtained at any drug store for 5 or 10 cents a pound. tin the quantitative experiments the mix- ture of naphthalene and bromine was gently warmed toward the end of the reaction, iu order to drive off any small quantities of hydrobromic acid which might remain dis- solved in the bromnaphthalene. {That more than the theoretical quantity of hydrobromic acid was obtained in this ex- periment is accounted for by the fact that, during the operation, the wash bottle con- taining the concentrated hydrobromic acid got quite hot, so that hydrobromic acid dis- tilled over into the vessel in which the acid was finally collected. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 125 Both of the latter are condensed in the YVou'lff's bottle, and if any iodine escapes con- densation at this point it is held back by the red phosphorus in the U-tube through which the gases next pass. On passing through the cylinder containing the phosphorus pentoxide the hydriodic acid is dried completely, so that it may be collected in cylinders by displace- ment of air as a perfectly colorless gas. Without special precaution 5.4 grams of hy- driodic acid were made from 10 grams of iodine by this method. It should be said, further, that the method is a rapid one and in every way adapted to work on the lecture table. The apparatus once set up and the mixture put in the retort, one can easily collect, in a few minutes, a sufficient quantity of the dry gas to illustrate its remarkable and beautiful properties. For example, the apparatus having been set up, the gas was prepared and collected in quanti- ties sufficient for the following experiments, and the experiments themselves performed all in about a quarter of an hour: 1. — Introduction of lighted taper into the gas. 2. — Action of dry chlorine on gaseous hy- driodic acid to show formation, first of iodine and then of iodine trichloride. 3. — Decomposition of the gas into its ele- ments by passing it through a heated tube. 4 — Oxidation of the gas by fumes of nitric acid. 5. — Absorption of the gas by water, and pre- parations of aqueous hydriodic acid. In view of these results there can be no doubt as to the efficiency of this method of preparing hydriodic acid. In conclusion it may be said that both of the methods above described for these two acids are highly satisfactory. The materials used are such as are easily accessible to all. There are no explosions attending the forma- tion of these acids, nor is there any trouble- some phosphonium bromide or iodide pro- duced to clog up the apparatus, as is the case with the methods involving the use of phos- phorus. The methods are rapid and practi- cally free from the objections which may be urged against the other methods which have previously been proposed for the preparation of these two acids. How to Calculate Equivalent 1294. Weights. (From the Druggists Circular.) The atom of hydrogen is the unit of the atomic system of weights; when we say that the atomic weight of oxygen is 16, we mean that its atom or smallest conceivable particle weighs sixteen times as much as the equal sized atom of hydrogen. But as we cannot fix a precise size for the atoms, we cannot state their absolute weight; we cannot reckon them in grains or fractions of grains. But this causes no difficulty in arriving at prac- tical results. The proportions of all the atoms which go to form a given molecule re- maining constant, the theoretical unit of weight may be translated into any practical unit desired. If we consider the hydrogen atom to weigh 1 grain, the oxygen atom will weigh 16 grains, and consequently the mole- cule of water containing two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen will weigh 18 grains. Grams may, of course, be substituted for grains with the same results, and so may any other unit from ounce to ton. The officinal phosphate of sodium, the proportion of phosphorus in which forms the subject of one of our cor- respondent's questions, consists of a molecule weighing 358; that is, its weight is 358 times that of an atom of hydrogen. Th^s molecule contains one atom of phosphorus, the weight of which is 31. Now, if we translate our weights into grams, we can make the definite statement that 35S grams of sodium phos- phate contain 31 grams of phosphorus. This being established, we can easily calculate by simple proportion (or "rule of three") the amount of phosphorus in any given quantity of the phosphate. If, for instance, we wish to know the amount of phosphorus in 800 grams we would state it thus: As 35S (the weight of the molecule) is to 31 (the weight of the phosphorus atom), so is 800 to the fig- ures sought: 358 : 31 :: 800 : 69.273. The gram being taken as the unit the answer is, of course, in grams. Our correspondent's second question, al- though apparently different, amounts to ex- actly the same thing. To ascertain the quan- tity of a given element or compound required to form a certain weight of a new compound into which it is to enter, the problem must be stated in the same way, only being careful to note whether in the case of complex re- actions any portion of the original atoms escape as gases or otherwise. Granular Effervescing Prepara- 1295. tions. (Ch. & l>r.) The demand for granular effervescent pre- parations by prescription is largely on the in- crease. "We may have a demand for 2 grains to dram hydrobromate of caffeine one hour, and later 5 grains, or possibly a combination with bromide of sodium. Consequently, we must be prepared at short notice to dispense, if possible, variously medicated effervescent 126 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. granules. In making them citric acid is a necessary constituent, the water of crystal- lization being required to give a coherent mass that can be granulated by pressing through a sieve. As the medication varies so must the relative amount of citric and tar- taric acids to suit the medicament; thus a hydrous or deliquescent substance requires less of the former and more of the latter. The IT. S. P. uses alcohol for damping the in- .gredients of a caffeine preparation and omits citric acid. The heat applied should not ex- ceed 100° C, otherwise the granules are col- ored and carbonic acid is driven off. But a strong heat obviates the use of the B. P. pro- portion of citric acid, and examination of trade-samples shows that this fact is known and acted upon by manufacturers. As to neutrality, theoretically and practi- cally the granules are generally slightly acid. In some cases it is necessary to make an ex- actly neutral granule if the therapeutic action is to be maintained. For example, piperazine only acts in alkaline solution, and it requires care to compound, as it must not be allowed to combine with the acid; so the proper way of making it is to thoroughly mix the piperazine with the bicarbonate, and any pre-decomposi- tion in the granule takes place between the acids and the soda, for which they have greater affinity. Pharmaceutically, the order of mixing has also a great deal to do with the product. Piperazine is invariably granulated without heat at all, the formula being ad- justed to yield a coherent mass when simply mixed in the proper order. The effervescent citro-tartrate of sodium af- fords a basis suitable generally for medica- tion where the quantity of medicament is small — such as citrate of caffeine 2 grains to 1 dram; antipyrin 5 grains; iron carbonate 5 grains; iron and arsenic, iron and quinine, and so on. Another type is the sulphate and phosphate of sodium, and the sulphate of magnesium granules where the medicament forms 50 per cent, although ultimately, when dried, actually about 25 per cent of the two former and 40 per cent of latter. These are naturally much less effervescent than the former type, although the sugar is entirely left out of sodium salt preparations for this and physiological reasons. In the magnesium preparation the granule is overburdened with medicament and sugar, leaving only 50 per cent of available effervescing material. There is a demand for granules medicated with insoluble substances, such as euonymin, phenacetin, sulphonal, salicin, quinine salicy- late, and bismuth salts. These are neither elegant nor palatable, and in all cases should be pointed out to prescribers as unsuitable modes of exhibition, excepting, perhaps, the bismuth salts, where the nascent carbonic acid would increase the effect. Liquids, the active principles of which are not dissipated on heating, may be mixed with the sugar or the bicarbonate, and dried before incorpora- tion with the acids. Such potent remedies as strychnine and arsenic can only be diffused evenly by adding them in solution to the sugar or bicarbonate, and drying at a low temperature before mixing with acids. In addition to two pharmacopoeial granules without sugar, there are others of that nature in frequent demand, sugar being contra-indi- cated. Such prepartions are not so uniform unless sifted and made with a fine sieve, be- cause the binding power of the sugar is absent, but they give a brisker effervescence. As to the size of granules, the author uses No. 12 and No. 6 sieves, and finds the former most suitable for granlues with a large per- centage of medicament or sugar. The small granules produced by it are more quickly de- composed in water, but more prone to caking in the bottle unless dried until pulverulent. It is a mistake to sacrifice to uniformity or size either the effervescence or color of the granules. Consequently, for all practical pur- poses, and so that they may keep under varied conditions, a No. 6 or No. 9 is the most suit- able sieve. 1296. Granular Effervescents. Referring to the B. P. method, as exhibited in sodii phos. eff., the author said that the heat of a water-bath is best. The granula- tion may be done admirably with a fork hav- ing three or four prongs "so bent as to be from 3/16 inch to % inch apart. In effer- vescent salts there are two essentials — base and active principle. After many experi- ments the author had found the following the best base: Bicarbonate of soda 17 parts. Citric acid 6 parts. Tartaric acid 6 parts. White sugar 9 parts. The finished preparation is slightly acid, which is an advantage. The active ingre- dient is mixed with the base in the proportion required. The method of granulation which Mr. Clarke favored is as follows: Place an enamelled basin with an oval bot- tom over a water-bath, and when quite hot and dry add, say, % pound of the ready-mixed powder. Allow to remain about a quarter of a minute (longer or shorter, according to temperature), when the powder begins to "cake." Now take the fork, and so manipu- late it as to make the whole of the salt pass through its prongs. Remove from the source of heat and continue trituration, gradually di- NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 127 minishing the pressure until the granules be- come cold and brittle. The size of the gran- ules depends greatly upon the rate of tritura- tion, therefore too much energy is to be avoided. The drying, he explained, is best done by the sun. The mixture loses 1/19 of its weight by granulation. 1297. Caffeine Citrate Effervescens. Citrated caffeine 4 parts. Bicarbonate of sodium .... 46 parts. Tartaric acid 24 parts. Citric acid 16 parts.

Tablets.* A There is one form in which medicine is very frequently used at the present time, that gives the retail druggist ample opportunity to show his individual skill and meet the many de- mands of his customers without resorting to the products of others; I mean compressed tablets. The enterprising manufacturers not only will furnish them direct to the physician, but will solicit orders also from the druggist. No pent-up Utica is theirs, the whole bound- less domain of physics is embraced in their all-absorbing love. Nor will the doctor, prone to the easy paths in the practice of medicine, stop his ears to the seductive arguments of the traveling salesman. The manufacturer sees the opening for trade, the retail drug- gist tries to ignore it. But it is useless; the doctors want compressed goods, and if they cannot get them from the retail druggist first-handed they will get them where they can. It is useless to say that they are not used, or that they cannot be made by the retail druggist. They are used and the retail druggist can furnish them in a better condi- tion for administration than is often done by the manufacturer. The druggist can fill a doctor's own prescription, leaving the doctor no excuse for using that of others. He can make them hard or pliable, to suit the wants of the physician. By this means, the patient, the doctor and the druggist are brought nearer together, between whom there should be mutual confidence. It is urged by many drug- gists that they can buy tablets at a lower price than they can make them. This is not so for goods of the best quality; further, there are some compressed goods which are popular as domestic remedies, which change in appearance by keeping long, if made prop- erly. For instance, soda mint tablets, such as usually put on the market, if they have the full amount of oil in them and ammonia they will turn yellow; if they have not they are of but little use, and the buyer is disap- pointed or cheated. A druggist could make up a small quantity at a time and have them fresh; customers always want things fresh. Soda mint is very easily made. Mix 1 pound of soda, gum arabic 1 ounce, oil of pepper- mint 3 drams; and carbonate of ammonia 1 dram; dampen with alcohol and water, run through a No. XX sieve and dry. Make into 5-grain tablets, and sell them to your customers as the best in the market; for they are of your own make. These will be ♦Read by J. A. McPerran, M. D., at a pharmaceutical meeting Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. From Am. Jr. Ph. what they profess to be, and your patrons will soon find it out. If you understand the principles of phar- macy, you can soon learn how to make com- pressed tablets, and, learning how, you will become better druggists. Of course, as grad- uates, you know the chemical relation of drugs, how and when chemical reactions take place; this will serve a good purpose here. For some time past there have been used many tablets of calomel and bicarbonate of soda. Your chemistry will tell you if these salts be mixed wet, and granulated, decom- position will take place, and the question would be, how to avoid it? You might do so in several ways; but I will mention only one. Take bicarbonate of soda 10% drams, gum arabic % dram, mix and dampen with water, run through a No. 40 sieve, dry and put into a bottle; add calomel V/ 2 drams, and shake this until every granule is coated. The calo- mel will adhere to the small particles of soda hardened with the gum; this will obviate any necessity of talc. The object is to pre- vent the soda and calomel coming together in a damp condition. Make up into 1-grain tablets, each of which will contain 1-12 of a grain of calomel. This illustrates pretty well how chemical incompatibles may be put to- gether in a compressed form and still retain their individuality, and, still better, how in some cases a dangerous result may be avoided from mixing together articles innocent in themselves; but deleterious as factors in a product. The soda hardened with the gum is scarcely in the least hygroscopic, and the tablets made with it, in the manner stated, will keep without change foully as long as a druggist who has them for sale desires. The calomel being put in last answers the purpose of its indications as a medicine, and at the same time as a protection against adhesion to the dies and punches. In all these combinations a certain amount of brains is a sine qua non, and may be written on the formula Quantum sufficit. Here as elsewhere the dictum of the teacher cannot give indivi- dual skill, nor can the dreams of theory take the place of applied knowledge. At the start remember, and never let it be forgotten, that facts established cannot be changed, and it is with facts you have to deal. The metal of which the dies and punches are made is a fixed unalterable fact. You may change the form, the peculiar construc- tion of the punches or die, but so long as the face of them presents a smooth surface to the material to be compressed, it is always the same. Remembering this, you will not ascribe the fault to the die or punch if your material adneres to them. The punch should be perfectly smooth and have sharp edges, NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 129 and move freelv in the dies. They should be made of tool steel and tempered just hard enough to prevent bending under pressure — beyond this you should expect nothing, and if the material adheres to them, you must look to the material as the thing at fault. As a rule you should cause the cohesive property of the material to be greater than the adhe- sive, and when, by experiment, you find where the fault is, all that you have to do is to apply your knowledge of the nature of the different excipients to correct it. There are some materials that are neither cohesive nor adhesive; for instance, if an ounce of pul- verized charcoal were ordered to be made into 40 lozenges, you would have no trouble in their sticking to the dies and punches, but you would have a great deal in getting any cohesion between the different particles of the material. The question here would be to add something that would cause a cohesion greater than adhesion, and, at the same time, not destroy the effect of the charcoal as a remedy. Here dextrin, wax, gelatin, gum arabic and tragacanth, mastich, etc., present themselves, as the different particles of the charcoal must actually be glued together. If you were ordered to make 480 grains of salicylate of soda into 96 tablets, you might add some pulverized acacia, dampen with alcohol and water, run through a No. 30 sieve and dry. Just before using stir in some talc to prevent sticking. There are other ways without the use of talc, but it is better to learn this way first. The coal oil products will claim your atten- tion very often. Most of them are not soluble in water, and when pressed alone may prove useless on account of their insolubility. A small quantity of starch added to the mixture may often become of great service. Say you take salol, phenacetin, starch; dampen with alcohol, run through a No. 20 sieve, shake over a gas jet to slightly warm to granulate and dry; a moderate heat assists in granulat- ing. There is no need of anything to prevent sticking. There is a point that it is well to remember; any liquid that is not a solvent to any of the ingredients in the compound will act as a protection against adhesion to the dies. In the manufacture of refined naphthalin into tablets, the material will stick to the dies if something is not used to prevent. As naphthalin is not soluble in water, water should be used to dampen, and this is effec- tual against adhesion. In making tablet triturates you will find sugar of milk alone makes the tablets too brittle: to correct this add about one part in 8 of cane sugar as the base, dampen with alcohol, and make up damp, unless they con- tain extracts; in that case you would have to make up dry and use the talc to prevent stick- ing. The talc should always be stirred in after the material has been granulated and dried. When talc is objectionable, white cos- moline or albolin can be used pretty freely, if you have a machine that will feed a damp and sluggish material. By putting the tab- lets into some absorbent powder after they are made and apply heat, most of it will dis- appear. Learn the nature of each article that you wish to compress and take advantage of your knowledge of the solubility in different men- strua, and when the contrary nature of the different articles in a combination precludes the use of this knowledge, fall upon such cor- rectives as experience and your own thoughts suggest to meet the particular case. In mak- ing up compounds, reduce all to a fine pow- der as far as practicable; in this way you will make more regular granulations and finer looking tablets. Take the familiar brown mixture; gum and licorice, each 2 pounds.; opium, 219 grains.; benzoic acid, 219 grains; camphor, 140 grains; oil of anise, 219 grains; tartar emetic, 110 grains; nitrate of potash, 1,750 grains; sugar sufficient for 10 pounds. If these be thoroughly mixed and ground to a fine powder, put into a wide receiver, and hang a wet sponge to the under side of the lid; the material will absorb enough moisture to dampen during one night; next morning run through a No. 30 sieve and dry; on ac- count of the extracts and the sugar you can- not do without talc or lycopodium to prevent sticking. If you prefer, you can use diluted alcohol and dampen with a hand atomizer. In filling prescriptions of small quantities there is often no need of elaborate work in granulating; sometimes when not incompati- ble powdered soap rubbed up with the arti- cles ordered prepares them to be run through a sieve; simply dampening with ether puts a powder into a granular condition. And when running out a pound might require something to prevent sticking, 10 to 20 tablets would require nothing. Wetting with alco- hol and drying will almost always leave the mass grainy. It does not matter how fine your material is, all you want is that it will tumble and not hold together on account of the moisture in it. I might talk for a week about material; but I wish to say something about how to make the tablets. In the first place do not get the fidgets, see that everything is in place and that your machine is clean. Choose the set of dies re- quired; and in this machine designed espe- cially for druggists you will find by lifting a small shaft and removing a pin you can take off the feeder. Turning a few turns on this 130 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. thumb screw you can pull out the die holder; while this is out you can see if the internal part of the machine is clean. The die holder being out, put in a top punch the size you wish, put the die into the die holder, insert the bottom punch, put in the die holder with its containing die and punch, fasten into place by turning thumb-screw slip on the feeder, drop the small vertical shaft into place and you are ready for work. Weigh out the quan- tity for one tablet, pour it into the die and screw up the bottom punch until the material comes even with the plate. Turn on the pres- sure and when the top punch is at its lowest depth, turn the knob at the top of the eccen- tric strap until you feel the pressure. Make two or three tablets to see whether the weight is all right, then put on more pressure if necessary and finish your work. The first tablets should not be pressed much; when you are sure of your weight you can powder the trial ones between your fingers and return to the feeder. The small cup should be used in making up small quantities. Put it in by taking off the top of the feeder and simply putting the cup into its place; the motion of the feeder in going backward and forward will cause the material to drop into the die; the remnant of one or two tablets can be brushed into the die and there is no need of wasting any material at all. The feeder is so constructed that there can be no leakage from beneath the feed. The lower punch is so constructed that there is the least amount of friction possible. One great fault in mak- ing tablets is in using too much pressure, running at the rate of 60 per minute, the pressure should scarcely be felt on small tablets; but by taking a tablet between the fingers a little experience will tell you whether to put on or take off pressure which is easily done by simply turning the knob to the right or left. In making tablets when- ever you hear a rubbing sound when the tab- let is ejected you may know that the material needs correcting. As the feeder is so easily taken off you can remove it with its contents without wasting a particle, correct the ma- terial by adding talc, or what else is needed; put it back and proceed. Do not undertake to make tablets too fast; a regular easy mo- tion is the best, and you will accomplish more than by trying to do a great deal in a short time. I am sure this machine will do all that is required by a retail druggist, as well as it is possible for a machine to do it. It is strong, it takes up but little room, is easily kept clean and is so simple that any one can understand it and run it. You can make quinine tablets, hypodermic tablets and such things as you wish to avoid excipients in; besides, by the construction of the feeder you can make up the flat friable triturates faster and more regular than on plates, and that too without the use of talc or other insoluble excipients. The how to make those things does not properly belong to my short talk on tablets; any one wishing to learn can do so on a proper occasion. Here are quinine tablets made without gum, oil, starch, or talc and other tablets of differ- ent sizes and shapes, made on a machine simi- lar to this, which should be evidence conclu- sive that a retail druggist can make his own tablets and furnish physicians who desire to think for themselves, any tablet that they wish. 1308. Preparation of Compressed Tablets.* The tablet machine should be kept scrupu- lously clean, and the surface of the dies and punches smooth and polished. Before com- mencing operations two or three tablets should be made from weighed quantities of material, to enable the operator to adjust the pressure and size for the work in hand. Ex- cessive pressure should be carefully guarded against, f and a regular, easy motion of the machine aimed at. The soluble substances therefore should be compressed as lightly as possible. Unduly light pressure, on the other hand, is accompanied by a greater tendency for the material to stick to the face of the punches. Coblentz states that the pressure should be regulated so tbat the tablets may readily be broken in half by the fingers, but should not break to pieces when dropped upon the floor. "Capping," i. e., the splitting off of the surface of the tablet, may be remedied by slightly dampening the granulated material with water, reducing the pressure, or by changing the weight of the tablet. The three main points in tablet making are, (a) to regulate carefully the pressure, (b) to insure proper cohesion of the particles of substance under compression, and (c) to pre- vent adhesion of those particles to any part of the machine. The skillful dispenser, with his knowledge of what is best to use in any given case as a pill excipient, will not expe- rience any difficulty in deciding whether gum *Reprinted from Pharmaceutical Journal. fA case recently occurred in a Northern town which forcibly illustrated the mischief that may result from compressing insoluble substances too much. The patient, acting under medical instructions, had been taking compressed tables of salol for some length of time; prepared by a wholesale firm. Later, an operation for intestinal obstruction became necessary, and the surgeon was astonished to find the whole of the tablets unaltered in the intestine.' NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 131 arable or tragacanth, syrup, dextrin, wax, mastic, or other adhesive agents should be employed. And he will also be fully aware that to prevent adhesion to the dies, etc., some liquid must be used which is not a solvent of the substance undergoing compres- sion. The rapid disintegration and solution of tablets is facilitated by adding finely pow- dered starch, from l/20th to l/10th the weight of material, to the granulated substance ready to be compressed. On the other hand, glucose, which should be diluted with 25 per cent, of water before use, renders tablets hard and tough, so that they will not readily dis- integrate. This is frequently an advantage when it is desired that the tablets should dis- solve slowly in the mouth. To prevent adhe- sion to the die a little powdered French chalk may be sifted into the material just before compression. White paraffinum molle (2 per cent, dissolved in sufficient ether) often j facilitates the compression of a dry powder. and improves the appearance of the finished ; tablets, if diffused through the granulated , material, the latter being subsequently sifted j and dried before compression. 1309. Preparation of the Material. Experience proves that it is not desirable ' to have the substances to be compressed in 8 very fine state of subdivision, as a fine I powder cannot be satisfactorily compressed into uniform and well-finished tablets. The j granular product obtained by grinding hard crystals represents the condition that should be aimed at, powdered ammonium chloride j and potassium chlorate, as supplied in com- J merce. being good examples of what is re- quired. In many cases, however, it will be ] found necessary to reduce the substance to fine powder first, and granulate afterward, j In dispensing small quantities the material may be obtained in the desired condition by simply damping with ether or alcohol by means of an atomizer, or by rubbing up with a little powdered soap, and afterward passing through a sieve. With larger quantities of material, cane j sugar and powdered gum are chiefly used, the former being preferable, as tablets prepared j with it disintegrate more rapidly. Coblentz j (Handbook of Pharmacy) recommends the addition to the substance to be granulated of j l/10th of its weight of cane sugar and l/20th of its weight of gum. On the large scale i white dextrin may often replace the gum. I After thoroughly mixing, sufficient water j should be added to render the powder of j such consistence that it can readily be shaken I through a No. 12 sieve without sticking to it j or clogging the openings. Care should be taken to add the water in small quantities at ' a time, and to mix thoroughly after each addi- tion. The powder is next passed through a No. 20 sieve and dried, after which a lubri- cant is added to enable the particles of powder to move freely over each other and prevent them sticking to the die and punches. Finely powdered French chalk, lycopodium, powdered boric acid or an odorless hydro- carbon oil may be employed for this purpose. The better the granulated material has been dried the smaller the quantity of lubricant required. Coblentz says 10 to 12 drops of hydrocarbon oil, added by means of a spray, is usually sufficient for each pound, with French chalk, not exceeding one-fourth the weight of material, added after the oil. If, however, the tablets are to be dissolved boric acid should be used as the lubricant, clear solutions being thus obtainable. In many cases, of course, this latter addition would be undesirable, as in the case of mercuric chlor- ide, in which chemical action would take place. When the lubricant added is a pow- der, it should be scattered over the material spread out on paper, and the whole slightly shaken up in a bottle. By this means the granules are not broken down, and they be- come coated very thinly with the lubricating powder. It is above all things necessary that the operator should be familiar with the na- ture of the substance or mixture to be com- pressed, as this must to a great extent guide him in selecting a suitable granulating me- dium and lubricant. As McFerran pertinently observes (see Phar. Jour. (3), XXIII. , 974), "learn the nature of each article that you wish to compress, and take advantage of your knowledge of the solubility in different menstrua, and when the contrary nature of the different articles in a combination pre- cludes the use of this knowledge, fall back upon such correctives as experience and your own thoughts suggest to meet the particular case." Tablet making is an art which re- quires not only carefully detailed instructions, but considerable experience and knowledge of the capabilities of the particular machine used. Manipulation in Special Cases.* 1310. AMMONIUM CHLORIDE, in a slightly moist and finely granulated condition, can be compressed into tablets without any prepara- tion. ♦For convenience of reference details are here given of a number of special cases con- sidered by Coblentz (Handbook of Pharmacy), McFerran (Pharm. Jour. (3), xxiii., 972) and Remington (Practice of Pharmacy), whose writings may be consulted for further particu- lars. Though sieves with meshes of various sizes are mentioned, a No. 30 sieve will usually prove fine enough in almost every case. 132 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 1311. CALOMEL WITH SODIUM BICARBON- ATE requires special treatment. Sodium bi- carbonate, 630 grains, and gum arabic, 30 grains, are mixed and damped with water, then passed through a No. 40 sieve, dried and bottled. Calomel, 90 grains, is added in the bottle, and the latter shaken until all the granules are coated. Finally compress into tablets (McFerran). 1312. CHARCOAL and similar spongy bodies must be in impalpable powder, and should be granulated by the addition of at least 25 per cent, of cane sugar. They require no lubricant, as a rule, and should be fed to the machine in very fine granular form. The granules should be passed through a No. 12 sieve, dried and then reduced until they will pass through a No. 60 to 80 sieve. A solution of gelatin may be employed instead of sugar, in which case a little French chalk should be added afterwards. 1313. EFFERVESCING MIXTURES should have their constituents granulated separately and mixed in a perfectly dry granular condition just before being compressed. 1314. EXTRACTS require varying treatment, ac- cording to their condition. Powdered ex- tracts should be mixed with starch powder before treating by the foregoing general pro- cess of Coblentz. Solid extracts should be rubbed to a syrupy consistence by the aid of a little water; the excess of water is then absorbed by the addition of about 25 per cent, of starch powder, the mixture being left sufficiently moist to form a proper consist- ence or granulation. Fluid extracts should be evaporated to a syrupy consistence and then treated in the same manner as solid extracts. 1315. HYGROSCOPIC OR DELIQUESCENT BODIES will need the addition of gum in the proportion of one-tenth the weight of sub- stance, water being used for moistening. 1316. HYPODERMIC TABLETS may be made with sugar of milk as a basis, but dried neu- tral sodium sulphate and purified sodium chloride or ammonium chloride are frequently preferable. 1317. INSOLUBLE SUBSTANCES, such as ace- tanilid, phenacetin, sulphonal, etc., are best granulated with one-tenth their weight of cane sugar, water being used for moistening. 1318. PEPSIN in powder should be prepared by adding to it one-tenth its weight of cane sugar, then spraying with diluted alcohol (50 per cent.) and mixing to insure moistening of all the particles. The powder should then be capable of passing through a No. 80 sieve, and, after drying, is ready for compression. Scale pepsin requires only to be reduced to No. 30 or 40 powder and then lubricated. 1319. POTASSIUM BROMIDE AND IODIDE simply require crushing, and should then be treated in the same way as ammonium chloride. 1320. POTASSIUM CHLORATE should be used in the same condition as ammonium chloride, and is very readily compressed. 1321. QUININE SULPHATE requires similar treatment to charcoal, but if, instead of French chalk, a little finely powdered arrow- root or ethereal solution of white pariffinum molle be added, the tablets will disintegrate more readily. 1322. RHUBARB AND SODA, in combination, require one-tenth their weight of cane sugar, and should be granulated by means of a mix- ture of liquid glucose, 1 volume; water and alcohol, 3 volumes. 1323. SALICYLIC ACID should be treated like charcoal, quinine sulphate and substances of similar nature. 1324. SALOL AND PHENACETIN can be made into tablets by adding starch, moistening the mixture with alcohol, passing through a No. 20 sieve, then slightly warming, granulating and drying prior to compression. 1325. SALTS containing water of crystallization should be reduced to fine powder, then mixed with one-twentieth their weight of powdered gum arabic, moistened and passed through NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 133 a No. 12 sieve, The granules must then be • dried and again powdered, mixed with one- I tenth their weight of cane sugar, and moist- ened with just enough water to pass again through a No. 12 sieve. After drying, first spontaneously but finally by the aid of heat, pass the mixture through a No. 20 sieve, lu- bricate and compress. 1326. SCALE PREPARATIONS generally require j the same treatment as scale pepsin, which see. 1327. SODA-MINT tablets are prepared by mix- ing sodium bicarbonate, 1 pound; gum arabic, ! 1 ounce; oil of peppermint, 180 grains; am- monium carbonate, 60 grains; damp with al- | cohol and water, pass through a No. 20 sieve and dry (McFerran). 1328. SODIUM BICARBONATE requires the addition of 5 per cent, of acacia, then moisten with water, sift and dry. 1329. SODIUM SALICYLATE should be mixed I with powdered gum, moistened with alcohol and water, passed through a No. 20 sieve and dried. 1330. SUGAR OF MILK, when used as a vehicle for powders to be compressed into tablets, should be moistened with a mixture of 1 part of syrup and 2 parts of water. The Manufacture of Compressed 1331. Tablets. (Western Druggist.) BY F. K. LBDEE. Notwithstanding the howl that is being raised in certain quarters against tablet-tritu- rates and compressed tablets these goods seem i to be daily increasing in popularity. Although these goods are ever increasing in demand, It is a fact that but few pharmacists prepare j their own tablets but depend entirely upon the I manufacturers or wholesalers for their sup- plies. Why is this so? Is the' manufacture of these goods so difficult as to deter the pharmacist from making them? This seems to be the idea entertained by many, but it is far from being correct. With the proper appliances and a little prac- tice and experience there is no reason why any intelligent pharmacist should not be able to produce either tablet-triturates or com- pressed tablets the equals of those of the large manufacturers. Edward Squibb has been quoted as saying that in preparing large qxiantities of compressed tablets, the heavier particles settle to the bottom and that often an assay of the finished tablets will show that the different ingredients are not equally distributed throughout the tablets. If this is the case, is it not a strong argument in favor of the pharmacist preparing his own com- pressed tablets? If he do so, he is not com- pelled to crowd his shelves with compressed goods of the large manufacturers, but can prepare them as wanted in quantities to suit the demand, thus dispensing freshly-made goods and being absolutely sure as to their composition. It is not my purpose to consider tablet- triturates in this paper, but to confine myself entirely to the consideration of compressed tablets, and to enter into the detail of their manufacture as fully as is possible in a paper of this kind. Some drugs compress readily without any special treatment, while others, being unad- hesive, must be especially treated before they can be successfully compressed. It has been found that fine powders do not work satisfac- torily in making compressed tablets, as a fine powder does not feed evenly and does not compress regularly. The powder is granu- lated by adding the proper adhesive and moistener, then passing through a sieve and drying. In the selection of the proper adhe- sive the pharmacist must use his judgment and strive to leave the finished tablet as soluble as possible. Among the articles used as adhesives, sugar, starch and acacia are most prominent, but glucose and dextrin also are sometimes used. Sugar, if it gives the necessary adhesiveness, is to be preferred to acacia, because the tablets made with it are more soluble. Sometimes it is necessary to use both sugar and acacia in order to make a powder sufficiently adhesive. In this case five per cent, of acacia and ten per cent, of sugar is the proportion generally recom- mended. Acacia should be used in all combi- nations of a hygroscopic nature. Glucose is used only where it is desired to make a hard tablet for slow solution in the mouth. Starch is recommended in tablets containing con- siderable quantities of fluid extracts or tinc- tures. As remarked above, it should be the aim to make tablets as soluble as possible, and this is best accomplished by granulating the powder with a considerable quantity of some soluble substance, such as starch or sugar. 134 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. It only stands to reason that substances which are considered insoluble in powder form, are much more so when compressed, unless mixed with some soluble substance which, dissolving out, brings about the disin- tegration of the tablet. 1333. Materials. Every part of the material that is desired to be compressed should be reduced to a very fine powder, then mixed thoroughly and the proper amount of adhesive added and mixed with the powder, the whole then moistened and passed through a sieve and dried. The moistening must be carefully done and must not be carried far enough to make the mix- ture stick to the sieve in passing through. Water, if carefully used, is the most generally useful moistener, although in some cases 70 per cent alcohol is recommended. I have in my own experience found a No. 20 tinned iron sieve to answer nicely. The granulated powder should be thoroughly dry before at- tempting to compress, for if not so, it sticks to the dies, and even when thoroughly dried, this is often a source of much annoyance. In order to overcome this tendency to adhere to the dies, it is customary to add some sub- stance, such as talcum or white petrolatum, or, in case of hypodermic tablets, powdered C. P. boric acid, in small proportions. The more carefully the powder is prepared the less lubrication it will need, and only as much should be used as is absolutely necessary. White petrolatum is best used as a two per cent, ethereal solution with an atomizer. The use of liquid petrolatum is not to be rec- ommended, except in case the ether % might have some solvent action that would be unde- sirable for the reason that a slight excess, which it is difficult to guard against, makes the tablets adhere. The petrolatum, however, solidifies as soon as the ether evaporates and is much to be preferred. The dry_granulated powder is sprayed with this solution and stirred with a spatula, or mixed on paper, then allowed to become dry, and then passed through the sieve. Both petrolatum and tal- cum are sometimes necessary. The talcum should be added to the powder after the pe- trolatum, and not until the powder has be- come dry. It is generally stirred in with a spatula or mixed in a wide-mouth bottle by gentle agitation. Not to exceed three per cent, of the weight of the powder to be com- pressed should be used. Boric acid is used, but not to exceed one and one-half or two per cent. In making tablets as much pressure only should be used as is absolutely necessary. The molds should be kept absolutely clean and highly polished: It is impossible to make a smooth tablet with a rough die. Use no hard substance in removing adhering portions of tablets, for fear of scratching the dies. Some substances already in granular form compress readily without any preparation. Among these are granulated bromide of potash, iodide of potash, muriate of ammonia, chlorate of. potash, and bisulphate of quinine compresses nicely without any treatment, but as it sticks to the dies, it must have some lubricant added. Three per cent, of powdered talcum added in the manner directed above will over- come this. As the bisulphate of quinine is more soluble than the sulphate, it is generally preferred on this account, and the fact that it needs no adhesive makes it popular for use in tablets. The formula given below will fully illustrate the mode of preparing powders for compression: 1333. Phenacetin 1000 grains. Powdered sugar 100 grains. Mix carefully, then moisten with water, pass through a sieve and dry. When dry, spray with ethereal solution of petrolatum and mix on paper. Allow the ether to evaporate and pass through the sieve again. Make 200 tablets. In this same manner tablets can be made of phenacetin and salol, antikamnia, antipyrin, chlorate acid, trional, sulphonal, bismuth subnitrate, bismuth subgallate, qui- nine salicylate, quinine sulphate, and many others. Petrolatum will generally be prefera- ble as a lubricant, or it can be used in con- nection with talcum, or talcum alone can be used. Another illustration are tablets of benzoate of soda: 1334. Benzoate of soda 1000 grains. Powdered acacia 60 grains. Mix thoroughly and moisten with water, then proceed exactly as in making tablets of phenacetin. In this way, using powdered acacia as an adhesive, tablets are generally made of such chemicals as benzoate of li- thium salicylate of soda, etc. As tablets containing acacia are not as soluble as those containing sugar, it is a good rule, where the^ substance is not readily solu- ble and where acacia is necessary as an adhe- sive, to use both sugar and acacia. Such substances as charcoal require either the addi- tion of considerable quantities of sugar or of acacia before they can be successfully com- pressed. Some authorities direct the addition of 25 per cent, of powdered sugar, others direct acacia, my own experience, however, leads me to favor a combination of 15 per cent, of powdered sugar and 8 per cent, of acacia. Sulphur and its combinations are also granulated in a similar manner. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 135 1335. Hypodermic tablets are usually made as tablet-triturates, and these are to be preferred to the compressed form; but where it is de- sired to make them by compression, pure cane sugar should be used as a vehicle. Cane sugar is much to be preferred to either the dried sulphate of soda, or chloride of sodium, or sugar of milk, as recommended in the standard works on pharmacy. Let a person take a tablet made with dried sulphate of soda as the vehicle and drop it into water; he will find that it dissolves with difficulty. Some years ago it was used by some manufac- turers, but they are all using powdered cane- sugar to-day. 1336. Powdered boric acid should be used to pre- vent the material adhering to dies: 2 per cent, will usually be found efficient. The powder should be granulated and dried, and then the proper amount of boric acid added as directed above. There is a large class of tablets that con- tain active alkaloids and very potent remedies which constitute only a small portion of the body of the tablet, the balance usually being sugar of milk. The writer prefers to add 10 per cent, of powdered cane-sugar before granulating. They can be lubricated with either powdered talcum or white petrolatum. As an example, the following formula is of- fered: 1337. Strychnine sulphate 3 grains. Powdered sugar 30 grains. Powdered sugar of milk. . . 267 grains. Mix thoroughly, moisten with water, granu- late and dry. Lubricate with talcum or pe- trolatum, and make 300 tablets, Tablets containing extracts are best made from the powdered extracts, as they are more easily mixed with sugar than the ordinary solid extract. If it is desired to use solid extracts, not in powdered form, they should be rubbed to a smooth paste with some suita- ble solvent, and then rubbed with a small quantity of starch and the solvent evaporated, the whole then to be mixed with a suitable quantity of milk sugar and granulated. Tab- lets made from tinctures are made in this manner, and many times these furnish all the moisture that is needed to granulate. Salts containing much water of crystallization should be reduced to a fine powder and then dried and mixed with 5 per cent, of acacia and 8 per cent, of sugar, and moistened with water and granulated by passing through the sieve and then drying very thoroughly and then lubricating. To this class belong such tablets as alum, sulphate of zinc, etc. Tab- lets containing pepsin and pancreatin in a pure state should be mixed with sugar of milk, to which 5 or 10 per cent, of powdered cane-sugar has been added and carefully mois- tened with water, granulated in the usual way and dried. To make effervescent tablets the acid should be granulated with a part of the powdered sugar and dried. The rest of the ingredients containing the soda, etc., should be granulated with the rest of the sugar and dried, and then the two thoroughly mixed by agitation in some closed vessel. These can be lubricated with petrolatum if desired, or the whole of the ingredients may be dried separately and mixed, then moistened with alcohol and gran- ulated and dried as directed in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, for making effervescent salts. The first is generally preferred, although it is simply a question of choice. 1338. Tablets of calomel and bicarbonate of soda call for special treatment, in order to prevent chemical action between the soda and calo- mel. McFerran recommends that the soda bicarbonate be mixed with 5 per cent, of pow- dered acacia, dampened with water and gran- ulated, and then the calomel mixed with the same by agitating them together in a wide- mouth bottle until thoroughly mixed. The writer prefers, however, to proceed differ- ently, using the following process: Calomel 200 grains. Soda bicarbonate 200 grains. Sugar, powdered 30 grains. Acacia, powdered 16 grains. Mix the calomel and 20 grains of sugar, moisten and granulate; then mix the soda with 10 grains of sugar and the acacia and moisten and granulate. When both are dry mix in a mortar, reducing to fine powder, and moisten with alcohol and granulate and dry. Then make 200 tablets. In a similar manner other tablets containing chemicals likely to react on each other when moist are made. Tablets containing extract of licorice are best moistened carefully with water and need no adhesive added. 1339. Tablets of Soda Mint. Bicarbonate of soda 400 grains. Powdered acacia 60 grains. Carbonate of ammonia. ... 25 grains. Oil of peppermint 16 trains. Mix thoroughly and moisten with water, granulate and dry. Lubricate with petrola- tum. Make 100 tablets. Tablets containing resins are sometimes moistened with 70 or 80 per cent alcohol; this, dissolving a portion of the resin, gives them 136 NON^SEORET FORMULAS. the necessary adhesiveness in many cases. In some cases, however, water is to be pre- ferred in such combination, for the reason that alcohol often tends to make hard gran- ules that compress with difficulty and make a very hard tablet. It is not to be expected that the pharmacist will succeed in perfectly preparing every com- bination on first trial, but there is no reason why any competent pharmacist should depend on the manufacturer entirely for his supplies. If in doubt what adhesives to use with any combination, it is well to use 5 per cent, of powdered acacia and 10 per cent, of sugar. There are few powders that cannot be nicely granulated in this manner. Many fail in trying to compress tablets be- fore they are dry, and as a consequence have the powder stick to the dies. Some think that the harder you can compress a tablet the better. Nothing can be further from the truth, for only as much pressure should be used as is absolutely necessary. In selecting an adhesive, do so with a view of leaving the resulting tablet as soluble as possible. It is a general practice to compress tablets with as little adhesive as possible. This is done mainly to keep the size of the tablet as small as possible. The writer believes that in mak- ing tablets of such insoluble substances as salol, sulphonal, etc., that the presence of even as much as 25 per cent, of powdered sugar would not be objectionable in any way and would add materially to the solubility of the tablet. I have thought best not to speak of the different machines on the market for making compressed tablets; my observation is that care is necessary to do nice work with any one of them, and, with care, they all will do nice work. Each one possibly has its pecu- liar merits; but the one essential to success in making tablets is the careful preparation of the ingredients for compression, for it is impossible for any machine to do nice work with a powder not properly prepared. 1340. Manufacture of Tablet Triturates. (Ph. Era.) Tablet triturates consist of medicine, which, if a dry solid, has been triturated with sugar of milk until a thorough and complete divi- sion and distribution of it has been made. In the case of pasty or fluid bodies, these are mixed in a wet state with sugar of milk, the whole dried, and then finely subdivided by trituration. The powder in either case is then formed into a pasty mass with varying proportions of alcohol and water, or other suitable menstruum, and afterward molded into tablets of uniform size and weight. The formula for each separate combination is arrived at in the following way; The mold is filled with finely powdered sugar of milk, which has been wetted to a pasty mass with dilute alcohol. The tablets are then pressed from the mold, thoroughly dried, and weighed. This weight is generally 65 grains for 50 tablets for the rubber molds now usually supplied, making a tablet weigh- ing slightly less than 1 1-3 grains when filled with plain milk sugar. The weight of the plain sugar of milk tablet is slightly increased with the increased solvent action of the men- struum, as more sugar enters the solution, making the tablet more compact. The next step is to ascertain how much milk sugar must be omitted from the previously ascer- tained amount in order to make room for medicinal constituents. For this purpose 130 grains of milk sugar are weighed off, which is equivalent to 100 finished tablets of plain sugar of milk. From these 130 grains a bulk is taken, equivalent, as nearly as possible, to that of the substance to be incorporated, and the weight noted. The active ingredient, if a dry solid, is now mixed with the remaining portion of sugar of milk by thorough tritura- tion. In the case of solid extracts, tinctures and other fluids, these are mixed with the remaining portions of sugar of milk, if neces- sary, by the aid of water or some other men- struum which dissolves them perfectly, then the mass is dried and powdered. After the mixture has been made, dried and thoroughly triturated, it is wetted with a suit- able menstruum, and molded, care being taken to scrape the mortar as clean as possi- ble in order not to waste any of the material. The tablets are then carefully dried. If there be any mass in excess of that required for the 100 tablets, it shows that not enough milk sugar has been taken from the original 130 grains. The weight of this excess is generally equal to that of an equal bulk of milk sugar. Hence it will only be necessary, at the next trial, to remove as much more milk sugar as the bulk of this excess amounts to. If there should be less than 100 tablets, the weight of the number deficient is ascertained by determining the average weight of the finished tablets, and deducting the calculated weight of the missing tablets from the weight of the bulk of sugar of milk originally separ- ated. At the next trial the amount of milk removed from the original 130 grains should be as much less as the weight of the missing tablets amounted to. In each case the for- mula finally found, by actual experiment, to yield a correct result, should be noted in a special book for the purpose of future refer- ence. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 137 It is important that all the ingredients and the mixture of powders ready for molding should be in the finest possible state of sub- division, If they are coarse, the tablets will not show a smooth, finished appearance. In tablets composed nearly all of milk sugar, if the latter be in a coarse powder, it necessi- tates the audition of more water to the alco- hol than is required when the sugar of milk is in a very fine powder. The menstruum selected should possess a slight solvent action upon one or more of the ingredients, but the latter, should not be too freely soluble, since the mass is then molded with difficulty, and the tablets prepared therefrom will be un- even, sometimes being cracked on the surface and very hard. It should possess sufficient solvent action to make a firm yet not too hard a tablet, one that will hold firmly together when shaken in a vial, and which should readily disintegrate upon the addition of water. It is, however, impossible to prepare all the various combinations in such a form that thev readily dissolve or diffuse upon the addition of water, the rapidity of disintegra- tion depending upon the proportion and solu- ble character of the constituents. The menstrua generally used are alcohol, absolute alcohol, alcohol and water, and chlo- roform. For tablets composed nearly en- tirely of sugar of milk, a menstruum com- posed of nearly three volumes of alcohol and one volume of water is preferable. For bodies insoluble in alcohol the proportion of water is raised in proportion to the increase of active ingredient. The menstruum must, therefore, be so adjusted that it will dissolve enough of either the milk sugar or of the active ingredient, to make a sufficiently firm tablet. In preparing the powder for molding, it should be wetted to a pasty consistence, the mold placed upon a smooth surface, a pill tile answering admirably, and the wetted powder pressed into the spaces with a horn or ivory spatula, which is drawn over the mold. Sometimes the mass adheres to the spatula ana is drawn from the holes. This is remedied by dipping the spatula in the menstruum used for wetting the mixture be- fore drawine it over the surface. The mold is then reversed by sliding it toward and off the edge of the tile without raising it, the spatula is drawn over the other side of the mold, and the latter then again drawn toward and off the edge. The tablets are now pressed out by the punch-pin plate and al- lowed to dry a few minutes upon the punch pins, then shaken off by striking the pin plate forcibly upon the counter covered with a sheet of paper to receive the tablets. Practical Suggestions About Lozenges.* 1341. In the manufacture of lozenges the paste is formed the same way as a biscuit maker mixes flour with water to make the dough, ex- cept that a thick solution of East India or Turkey gum is used for the mixing, instead of water, and finely powdered loaf sugar instead of flour. The paste, when made, is rolled out in the same manner as the baker treats the dough, and during this process sufficient starch powder to prevent it sticking to the slab is used. The thickness of the sheet of paste may be regulated either by the gauge at each end of the rolling-pin, or judged by the sight, and must be, according to the lozenges to be made, from an eighth to a quarter inch thick. To make lozenges on the smallest scale, there must be employed a smooth mar- ble slab, four feet long by two feet wide, to cut the lozenges upon, also a smooth stone slab of a lesser size to mix the paste on; a good palette knife, 15 or 18 inches long; a hand-brush, made with long, soft hairs; and small pieces of linen cloth to run through cut- ters when clogged with the paste; lozenge trays, made with smoothly planed seasoned deal, four feet long by two feet wide, with edges one inch deep; a hot closet or drying- room, with racks fitted round it to place the trays of lozenges upon, and heated, free from dust and smoke; small gallipots with some clean water must be kept near the cutting slab to place the cutters in to free them from the paste which clings to the edges, and must be wiped dry with the cloth named above. In rolling the paste out to the required thickness, it must be lifted up with the pal- ette knife two or three times to see that it does not stick to the slab, then to be taken up by rolling it round the pin, and after dusting the slab with more powder replace the sheet of paste, the upper side downwards, smooth- ing the surface of the same by dusting it with powder and using the brush over it. In cut- ting out the lozenges, commence with a straight line as close to the left edge as possi- ble, and however slowly you may progress at first, keep parallel with that all through the sheet. In emptying the cutters, place the lozenges evenly and closely together on the trays, which must first be thoroughly dried and covered with the starch powder. Recipes and mixings for some of the most familiar kinds of lozenges are here given for beginners. 1342. The Ordinary Peppermint Lozenges. For twenty-eight pounds of finely powdered loaf or icing sugar, after making a bay in the center of the sugar placed on the slab, pour *Brit. Baker, Confect. and Purv. 138 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. into it 2 quarts of thick gum mucilage; on that pour 1 ounce of either Mitcham or the best American oil of peppermint; work these two well together. When sufficiently mixed, stir in the sugar from all around the sides of the bay, and add to the mixture an eggspoon of smalts; work this in, and make the whole into a good stiff paste with as much of the sugar as can be used, and keep it ready on the mix- ing slab, with a damp, clean cloth covered over it for use. Take from the bulk about 2 pounds in weight, and work it with the hands into a compact square piece, keeping it free from sticking on the slab with the powdered starch; then proceed to roll, and cut it out in the shapes desired, and follow the prelimin- ary instructions given above. The cuttings left on the slab from each sheet of paste must be mixed with each portion taken from the mixture to continue the process until the whole is used up. This is an example for all peppermint lozenges, the only difference in the quality or high-priced article being in the quantity and quality of the oil of mint used in making them, consisting of from % ounce to iy 2 ounces of the essential oil extra to that here given for the same quantity of sugar, and which are sold at a higher price and stamped "extra." 1343. Ginger Lozenges. Work into the same quantity as given above of sugar and gum, 1 pound of finely powdered best Jamaica ginger, y 2 ounce of extract i of ginger, % ounce of essence of lemon, and enough vegetable yellow to make the mixture a primrose color, and proceed to finish as directed previously. 1344. Cough -Ho-More Lozenges. All the cough lozenges sold differ either in color, shape or taste. A good and effectual lozenge may be made as follows: Work into the paste of gum and sugar given some thick dissolved solazzi licorice to make it of a brown color, with 2 ounces of powdered ipecacuanha, 1 ounce of anise seed, 1 dram of acetate of morphine, and 1 ounce of powdered tartaric acid. The drugs to be carefully and thoroughly incorporated with the gum mucil- age before mixing that with the sugar. 1345. Bath, or Coltsfoot Lozenges. The same mixture of gum and sugar as for coughs, leaving out the anise seed, but putting more dissolved licorice, 1 ounce tartaric acid and 1 ounce of oil of lemon previously stirred well in with the gum. Black Currant Lozenges for the Voice, 1346. Sore Throats, Etc. To 4 pounds of the black-currant extract, the consistence of thick honey, work in 10 or 12 pounds of finely powdered sugar, 1 pound of powdered Turkey gum, with 2 ounces of tartaric acid. This recipe makes a better lozenge for the purpose mostly required if half a dram of capsicum is added. 1347. Otto of Rose Lozenges. To the same amount of gum and sugar as given in the first recipe, work into the gum 1 dram of otto of rose with 1 ounce of the French oil of geranium, 2 ounces of powdered tartaric acid, and color the whole mass with liquid carmine to a nice delicate pink. 1348.

Use this as stock solution, to be added to any of the usual sugar-pastes, about 2 ounces to every 14 pounds of finished lozenges. A good plan is to arrange with some lozenge- maker to make and stamp the lozenges, using your medicated solution. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 139 OFFICINAL LOZENGES OF THE B. P. 1365. Bismuth.

When the mass is cold divide it into ten dozen pas- tilles. Menthol pastilles are an excellent remedy for tickling cough as well as laryngitis. They should be freshly prepared, and cut oblong, so that the patient may take half of one, or less, as he finds them suit. 1758. Tonic Female Pills. (Ch. and Dr.) This is not at all a desirable trade to culti- vate, as in some cases it is really abortives that are wanted.

Bisulphide of carbon 200 grains. Or q. s. to 750 grains. Take of above sol 54 grains. Acacia 18 grains. Syrup 18 grains. Divide into 24 pills. 3 grains =1-33 grain phosphorus. Ten grains of phosphorus is dissolved in 200 fl. grains of purified carbon bisulphide, and 490 grains of shredded cocoa-butter added and dissolved by shaking; then the solution is made up to 750 fl. grains with bisulphide. The solution keeps indefinitely, but it is apt to become solid in cold weather; the heat of the hand, however, suffices to liquefy it. The desired quantity of it is mixed with powdered acacia, stirred for a little and the syrup added, when a mass suitable for rolling is soon produced. The pills may be varnished with sandarac, but should be thoroughly dried after varnishing, otherwise they may stick to- gether in the bottle. They keep well if the coating is perfect. They also take the pearl coating well. The pills are more easily made, more quickly assimilated, and do not cause so much disturbance as others. Mr. Martindale has put them to a number of tests, and he referred to the objections which may be urged against the mass, particularly its comparative softness. This, he said, can be obviated by using glucose instead of syrup, and as to the permanence of the pill in warm climates, he could only say that he had carried one in the pocket without affecting it, and when put in water at 90° F., a pill did not fail. 1767.

In view of the ever-recurring question con- cerning the method of calculating percentage solutions we find ourselves compelled to refer to this frequently discussed subject once more, devoting more space to it than ordinarily, so as to cover the question. Percentum means, for each hundred. Per- centage by weight means that all ingredients shall be weighed; percentage by volume means that all ingredients shall be measured. A 1-per-cent cocaine solution, hence, contains 1 grain of cocaine and 99 grains of water; a 2-per-cent. cocaine solution necessarily con- tains 2 grains of cocaine hydrochlorate and 98 grains of water, and so on. A fluid ounce (480 minims) of distilled water at normal temperature weighs approximately 455.5 grains, so that 1 per cent of 1 fluid ounce is as the proportion, 100:1: :455.5:4.555. Sub- tracting 4.5 grains from 455.5 grains gives us 451 grains of water in which to dissolve 4.5 grains of cocaine, the resulting solution weigh- ing 455.5 grains. In this calculation we have assumed 1 grain of cocaine to occupy the same space as one minim of water. But this is not the case and our 1-per-cent. cocaine solution measures probably two or three min- ims less than 1 fluid ounce. If it be desirable to dispense exactly 1 fluid ounce of the solution in question, the only practical way to proceed, on a small scale and extemporaneously, is to prepare a little more than wanted and throw away the surplus. To insure the full volume of 480 minims, take 455.5 grains as a starting point; to this add the percentage required in grains, say 4. We then have 459.5 grains as the weight of the finished product, 4 per cent of which is 100:4: :459.5:18:38. The 18.38 subtracted from the whole 459.5, gives us 441.12 grains of water and 18.38 grains of cocaine in a total of 459.5 grains of finished solution. This will measure more than 480 and less than 494.38 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 159 minims, depending on the bulk the cocaine as- sumes in liquefied form. The calculations, it must be borne in mind, are based on water as a solvent and on a low percentage. The principle, but not the figures, holds good with respect to fluids spe- cifically lighter or heavier than water, while in high percentages, exceeding, say, 10 per- cent, the increase in bulk is, especially for expensive material and large quantities, suffic- iently serious to require preliminary experi- mental determinations. An exceedingly practical method for pre- paring a fluid ounce of a solution of a given percentage has been suggested by an esteemed correspondent. H. M. "Wilder, of Philadelphia, His method is in effect the same as explained above, excepting that it does not require care- ful calculations. Its only possible drawback could oe that the excess obtained being about one-tenth of an ounce (difference between 456 and 500 grains) would make the waste (when 4 p. c. or over) when operating with costly material quite appreciable; especially when more than one fluid ounce of solution be dis- pensed. Mr. Wilder's method, which he has employed for many years, is as follows: In order to make one fluid ounce of 4-per cent colution, he takes the nearest round number, which is 500. He dissolves 5 times 4 grains of the salt in 500 less 20 grains of the menstruum (water or other solvent of similar specific gravity) and concludes that he now has a 4-per-cent solution. If he now measures off one fluid ounce, he must neces- sarily ha\vi a fluid ounce of a 4-per-cent solu- tion. As to the surplus of solution, that is thrown away; what little loss that may amount to is more than compensated for by the ease of calculation, without bothering oneself about fractions. In lbUl C. C. Sherrard, of Detroit, Mich., published in the New Idea tables for prepar- ing solutions, which, on account of their prac- ticality deserve reproduction. We quote Mr. Sherraru's article in full: "Witn a view of economizing time, the fol- lowing tables for preparing percentage solu- tions have been carefully figured out. Many pharmacists closely engaged in the practice of their art will find that these tables will save them much valuable time and also remove the possibility of error incidental to rapid calcu- lation and figuring. That there is a need for such a table is shown by the frequent re- quests for information of this sort. The table is simple and requires but little explanation. There are two tables, the first giving percent- age solutions, as, for instance, 4 per-cent. co- caine muriate solution; the second gives parts in 1.000 or 5,000, as, for instance, corrosive sublimate 1 in 1,000. The use of the first is as follows: Run down column 1 until the cor- rect percentage wanted is found, then move, to the right along the line until the column is found giving the amount of fluid measure to be made up; at the intersection will be found the weieht of salt required. For example, suppose it is desired to make 4 fluid ounces of 4 per-cent. cocaine muriate solution, run down tne left hand column to 4, then along to the rigut till we reach the column headed 4 fluid ounces. At the intersection of the two will be found 72.91, and this is the number of grains needed. It must be remembered that this is the amount of water to take, and not q. s. water to make the volume. Also that these tables are true only for water, and not for alcohol or other fluid. The second table is similarly employed: FOR MAKING ANT QUANTITY OF PERCENTAGE SOLUTIONS. 5, f* j«, Fh s- fi u 53 ^i © ^5 © «a © +J •2 s 2s © ^j 83 *3 e3 sj "3 3 c3 es 03 "3 c3 e3 « "3 £ o £ in £ m £ « £ m fe a» £ » •So 3S o o O © © © CM *-" o © "- 1 b © o « ** a5 5? to" tO to *> x fco 09 «* x W o u N 5 o ,= § E § E § E §E © Jb • •& . *3 . ra . rs . -o* . 13 . >a « © « © « o a © W © 2 ® ^ • ^ A e* £ so JS -* xi >o A 2 5 3 a s2 e3 O §© !i § © § © © © © © © © o © © © © © © © u # u •* h M u # U M H M u •* o e5 © «3 © cS O cj O «S O c3 O o3 fa w fa *" fa fa *" fa ■*" fe *" fa *» To Make Grains.

For example, if 4 fluid ounces of a 4-per-cent so- lution is required, follow down the 4 fluid ounce column until opposite 4 per cent; the number of grains required are 72.912 grains. Now, to make 8 fluid ounces, just twice as much (145.824 grains) is required. In a sim- ilar manner, any solution of any percentage strength may readily be found by consulting the proper column and per-cent. For all dispensing and administering pur- poses in any prescribed doses the figures here- with given are correct, and for such purpose this article is especially designed. In further explanation, we may say that, in giving the above figures, the resulting solu- tion is absolutely correct as regards percent- age composition, though it may measure slightly more than the water taken, owing to the increase in volume, which always takes place in some degree when a solid passes into solution in a given amount of liquid. This expansion is not appreciable for small amounts of the solid, say up to 5 per cent, but at 25 per cent or more it may be noticeable. How- ever, as before stated, this expansion has been considered, and the resulting solution, not- withstanding the increase in volume, is cor- rect for the percentage given. From the fore- going explanation it is quite clear that, if a dram of 1-2 per-cent. solution be prescribed, exactly 2 per-cent. of that dram is the salt in the soluuon ; the other 98 per cent, being the water." The following simple rule was communi- cated a few years ago to a pharmaceutical journal by John P. Judge, of Philadelphia: Rule: Multiply the weight (in grains) of a dram of water by the number of drams de- sired, multiply this product by the percentage desired. Dividing all this by 100 gives the percentage. The result will be the number of grains to be added to the quantity of solution desired. For easy memorizing, the rule may be run off thus: Multiply the weight of a dram by the number of drams and this by the percentage. Divide by 100 for percentage. Everyone who uses this rule is struck by its simplicity, facility, compactness and ex- actness. SOLUTIONS, ETC. 1771. Clemen's Arsenical Solution. The following is the mode of preparation of the liquor arsenici bromatus, used in the treat- ment of diabetes mellitus: Carbonate potassium 1 dram. Arsenious acid 1 dram. Distilled water 10 ounces. Boil until a clear solution is formed, and when cold add Bromine 2 drams. Water 12 ounces. This is allowed to stand until the color dis- appears when it is ready for use. Dose: One to 5 drops once or twice a day. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 161 1772. Colorless Hydrastis. Hydrastis white alkaloid.. 20 grains. Water 8 ounces. Glycerine 8 ounces. Dissolve alkaloid in 1 or 2 drops of muriatic acid: add water; filter, and add glycerine. 1773. Homoeopathic diluted tinctures are made from the mother-tinctures, as follows: The mother-tincture is regarded as tincture lx when it is made of l-to-10 strength. One part of this mother-tincture vigorously shaken with 9 parts of alcohol yields tincture 2x;-l part of 2x with 9 parts of alcohol yields tinc- ture 3x. The centesimal scale is similarly worked. One part of mother-tincture with 9 parts of alcohol yields a tincture lc; 1 part of this with 99 parts of alcohol yields a tincture 2c. and so on. For full instructions as to I all homoeopathic preparations, see Keene & Ashwell's "Companion to the British Homoeo- pathic Pharmacopoeia." 1774. Liquor Eastoni. Iron wire 2% drams.

For making decoctions the substances, if dry, should be well bruised, or reduced to a very coarse powder, or, if fresh and soft, they should be sliced small. In the former case, any very fine powder or adhering dust should be removed with a sieve, as its presence would tend to make the product thick and dis- agreeable, and also more troublesome to strain. The vessel in which the boiling is conducted should be closely covered, the bet- ter to exclude the air; and the heat should be so regulated that the fluid may be kept sim- mering, or only gently boiling, as violent boil- ing is both unnecessary and injurious. In every case the liquor should be strained while hot, but not boiling; and the best method of doing this is to employ a fine hair sieve or a coarse flannel bag. In preparing compound decoctions, those ingredients should be boiled first which impart their active principles least readily, and those which most readily impart them should be added afterward. In many cases it will be proper simply to infuse the more aromatic substances in the hot decoc- tions of the other ingredients, by which means their volatile principles will be pre- served. When the active principles of the principal ingredients are volatile, infusion should be had recourse to, instead of boiling. Strength of. — Decoctions of substances not exerting a very powerful influence on the sys- tem may be made, as a general rule, by boil- ing an ounce, if dry, or a handful, if green, in a pint of water for ten or fifteen minutes. Dose of. — The ordinary dose of decoctions thus prepared is a half to a wineglassful three or four times daily, or more frequently. 1840. Specific Gravity. To Convert Degrees Baume into Specific Gravity. — 1. For liquids heavier than water. — Subtract the degree of Baume from 115, and divide into 115. The quotient is the specific gravity. 2. For liquids lighter than water. — Add the degree of Baume to 130, and divide it into 140. The quotient is the specific gravity. To Convert Specific Gravity into Degrees (Baume). — 1. For liquids heavier than water. — Divide the specific gravity into 145, and sub- tract from 145. The remainder is the degree of Baume. 2. For liquids lighter than water. — Divide the specific gravity into 140, and subtract 130 from the quotient. The remainder will be the degree of Baume. Comparison of Degrees Twaddell and speci- fic Gravity. — In order to change degrees Twaddell into specific gravity, multiply by 5, add 1,000, and divide by 1,000. Example. — Change 168° Twaddell into speci- fic gravity. 16S X 5 840 1,000 1,000) 1,840 1.84, specific gravity. To change specific gravity into degrees Twaddell, multiply by 1,000, subtract 1,000, and divide by 5. Example. — Change 1:84 specific gravity to degrees Twaddell. 1.84 X 1,000 1,840 1,000 5)840 168° Tw, 1841. To Pack Chemicals and Drugs for Export. The following suggestions will be found of practical value: 1. Salts should be put in stoppered glass bottles or packed in casks, if sent in large quantities. Casks used for hygroscopic salts should be lined with oil cloth or parchment paper. Salts should never be packed in tin boxes or in paper only. 2. The glass stoppers of all bottles con- taining either liquids or dry substances should be greased with a little vaseline in order to avoid any difficulty in removing them. 3. Parts of plants, such as leaves, roots, etc., should be packed in sacks, and these again in cases; very delicate drugs in tin boxes. Vegetable powders should be packed in hermetically closed glass bottles or tin boxes. Drugs which occupy much space should be pressed as much as possible before being packed, especially if the shipping 170 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. freight Is calculated according to the bulk of the goods. 4. Boxes and cases should be lined with zinc, or where this is too expensive a strong and good oil cloth will usually be sufficient. 5. Although the utmost care is necessary in packing, yet packing materials, such as hay, straw, etc., should be used as sparingly as possible, as duty has usually to be paid for the weight of these as well as for the goods themselves. 6. Cases should be secured by iron bauds, and it is always desirable that the weight and volume of cases should be as small as possi- ble. 7. Acids, caustic or inflammable sub- stances, must be packed according to the regulations of the different railways by which they are transmitted prior to shipment. As a rule stone bottles are best for acids and ammonia and glass or tin vessels for volatile substances. All these should be closed by corks saturated with paraffine, and then wrapped in sail cloth, which, with the string securing it, should also be soaked in paraffine. 8. Acetic acid may be safely conveyed from place to place in carboys of 5 to 10 gal- lons capacity. , 9. Liquor ammonia should never be put into iron vessels. 10. Vessels containing volatile substances should never be quite filled. 11. As acids and caustic and inflammable substances are conveyed on the decks of sail- ing vessels only, the cases containing tbern should be well closed, and the address, mark, number, etc., be such as will resist sea water. 12. Liquids should not be packed in the same case with dry substances. 13. Valuable or expensive chemicals, such as ethereal oils and essences, should be packed in strong tin vessels and closed with corks saturated with paraffine as before de- scribed. 14. The weights and measures of the coun- try to which the goods are sent should al- ways be used, to avoid loss and inconven- ience. 15. Besides observing these rules for pack- ing, consignors of goods should be thoroughly acquainted with the customs, tariffs and regu- lations of the countries to which they are sending, as pecuniary loss and inconvenience may occur, from ignorance of them. For in- stance, if a case contains various substances, the duties on which are different, it is usual in some tariffs to calculate the duty of the whole of the contents of the case or at least of the packing materials at the highest rate. The importance of packing together goods upon which the customs tariffs are similar is self-evident from this. 16. In cases of urgency small quantities of any substance suitable for such transmis- sion, e. g., quinine, antipyrine, salicylic acid, etc., may be sent as patterns without value, and thus avoid the delay caused by the cus- toms office. 1843. Preserving Anatomical Specimens for a Private Museum. Bones and skulls may be prepared by boil- ing them for some hours in water containing potash, which process, I know from exper- ience gained in preserving specimens for my own museum, quickly causes the flesh to be- come detached. Another way is to carefully remove the flesh with dissecting apparatus, and then to place the specimens in weak brine, in order to draw away any blood from the bones; next wash tbem in fresh water, and lay them out to dry. Gullets, stomachs, windpipes and intestines may also be put into weak brine and then dried. At sea, in the case of the albatross, I have preserved these objects by simply cleaning them, blowing them out, making fast the ends with a clove hitch, and banging up to dry. A coat of varnish will finish them off. All soft parts should be preserved in proof alcohol. Fishes and reptiles should be preserved whole in it, having first made very carefully an incision in the under part to facilitate the introduction of the spirit; or, if at its full strength, it would harden the exterior and not reach the entrails. Neglecting to make these incisions results, I have frequently found, in the putrefaction of the internals. With large specimens the na- tural juices quickly weaken the spirit, which should be added to until it keeps its strength. The one great advantage of alcoholic speci- mens is, that at any time they can be re- moved from the preserving jars and examined in their entirety. On no account should they be allowed to come into close contact with the sides of the glass or jar, and they should in- variably be suspended by a strong thread, the end of which should not protrude above the cork or stopper. — C. L. Wragge, in English Mechanic. 1843. Preparations for Preserving Specimens. 1. Nearly saturate water with sulphurous acid and add a little creasote. 2.

Preserving Natural History Specimens. 1. When ready, wipe the fish and place it in the following solution, and it will keep for years if good alcohol be used: Alcohol (95 per cent), 8 parts; distilled water, 2 parts. 2. If the fish are small, three or four days suffice to harden them and the following is a better solution for them, viz.: Alcohol, 6 parts, distilled water, 2 parts. Reptiles, rodentia, etc., can be also preserved in the same manner. The first alcoholic bath can be used over and over again for the same pur- pose, if strained. 3. Take of chloral, in crystals, one ounce, and dissolve it in five ounces of distilled water; alcohol (95 per cent), 1% ounces; gly- cerine, V/ 2 drams; rock salt, 15 grains; salt- peter, 30 grains. Dissolve the glycerine, salt, and saltpeter in the alcohol, and when well mixed add to the chloral solution, shake well till thoroughly incorporated, filter, and it is ready for use. 4. The following solution for larvae of in- sects, spiders, and other small, delicate ob- jects, will be found very valuable: Glycer- ine, 1 ounce, common salt, 1 dram; saltpeter, 1 dram: distilled water, 8 ounces. Mix well together. When wanted for use, take two ounces of pure alcohol, and add one ounce of the mixture; shake well and filter. 5. For the preservation of tadpoles, young frogs, salamanders, and similar objects, take 1 pound sulphate of zinc, 2 drams burnt alum and mix well together. — Sci. Am. 1845. Fluid for Anatomical Preparations. (Objects of natural history, etc.) 1. Saturate water with sulphurous acid, and add a little creasote. 2.

Mix together one part of ammonia water (strong) with three times its weight (each) of water and spirit of wine. Remarks. — These fluids are used by immers- ing the objects therein, in close vessels. The third formula is apt to render animal sub- stances very hard. — Cooley. 5. To preserve anatomical specimens, im- merse in a saturated solution of 100 parts alum with 2 parts saltpeter. The article at first loses color, but regains it again in a few days, when it is removed from the liquid and kept in a saturated solution of alum and water only. 172 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 1846. To Preserve Soft and Delicate Animals. . (Carpenter.) Glycerine, 1 part; alcohol, 1 part; 8 to 10 parts sea water. 1847. Preservative for Insects and Animal Tissues. Glycerine, alcohol, distilled water, equal parts. 1848. To Preserve Insects. 1. Laboulbene recommends for the preser- vation of insects in a fresh state plunging them in a preservative fluid consisting of alcohol with an excess of arsenious acid in fragments; V/ 2 pints alcohol will take about 14 troy grains of arsenic. The living insect, put into this preparation, absorbs about 3-1000 of its own weight. When soaked in this liquor and dried, it will be safe from the ravages of moths, Anthrenus or Dermestes. This liquid will not change the colors of blue, green or red beetles if dried after soaking from twelve to twenty-four hours. Hemiptera and Orthop- tera can be treated in the same way. The nests, cocoons, and chrysalids of insects may be preserved from injury from other insects by being soaked in the arseniated alcohol, or dipped into benzine or a solution of carbolic acid or creasote. 2. For spiders, puncture them and steep for several days in a strong alcoholic solution of pure phenol, and then in dilute alcoholic glycerine. Or use a saturated solution of salicylic acid in glycerine; dry carefully. 1849. Preparations for Taxidermy. Arsenical soap. White arsenic, 2 pounds; white soap, 2 pounds; sugar in powder, 12 ounces; salt of tartar, 12 ounces; chalk in powder, 6 ounces; camphor, 5 ounces. Slice the soap and melt in an earthen vessel, with water, over a gentle fire, keeping it stirred with a wooden spatula. When melted, put in the sugar, ialt of tartar, and chalk. Remove from the fire, and well stir and mix in the arsenic. This soap should be kept in a well closed glass or earthen vessel. Corrosive Sublimate Solution. Corrosive sublimate, 1 dram; spirit of salt, 2 drams; spirits of camphor, 6- ounces. Dis- solve the sublimate in the spirits of camphor, and then add the hydrochloric acid.

Porous-piasters are generally made with a rubber base, various medicaments being added, according to purpose for which re- quired. A formula for the base was published some years ago, viz.: Indiarubber 2 parts. Burgundy pitch 1 part. Olibanum 1 part. The rubber is well steeped in hot water, to soften, then passed through corrugated iron rollers, a stream of water being allowed to fall continuously upon it; it comes out in NON-SECRET FORMULAS. sheets. It is then left for some days, and passed through smooth rollers, when it be- comes plastic and ready to incorporate with the other ingredients. This is done by pass- ing between two rollers again, one revolving at double the speed of the other — at this stage the various substances used for medication are also added. The spreading is done by passinar the thoroughly mixed mass through other rollers along with the cloth. — (C. and D.) 1853. Baby Powder (To Cure Severe Chafing). Druggists' Circular.

When the cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it round the leg over the place that is cramped and take an end in each hand and give it a sharp pull — one that will hurt a little. The cramp will cease instantly, and the sufferer can go to bed assured that it will not come again that night. — Med. Fortnightly. 1868. To Relieve Cramps.

The Proper Tirae to Give Medicines. Alkalies should be given before food. Io- dine and iodides should be given on an empty stomach, when they rapidly diffuse into the blood. If given during digestion the acids and starch alter and weaken the action. Acids, as a rule, should be given between the digestive acts, because the mucous membrane of the stomach is in a favorable condition for the diffusion of the acid into the blood. Acids may be given before food when pre- scribed to check the excessive formation of the acids of the gastric juice. Irritating and dangerous drugs — such as the salts of arsenic, copper, zinc, and iron — should be given di- rectly after food. 1878. Stimulating Liniment. Oleic acid. 3 drams. Borax 20 grains.

Preston Salts. William W. Bartlett, in a note read at the New Bedford meeting of the Massachusetts Pharmaceutical Association, gave the follow- ing formula for this "salt:" Powdered chloride of am- monium iy 2 ounces. Powdered carbonate of po- tassium 1 ounce. 6 drams. Powdered camphor l dram. Coarsely powdered carbon- ate of ammonium 3 drams. Oil of cloves 10 drops. Oil of bergamot 10 drops. Mr. Bartlett also gave a formula for a "menthol pungent," which he said was quite agreeable to the smell and a novelty for vari- ous kinds of headache and faintness. It is prepared by leaving out the essential oils in the above formula and substituting in their place Menthol l dram. 1888. Smelling Salts. The Seifensieder Zeitung gives the follow- ing directijns for preparing a superior article of smelling salt: Ammonium carbonate 120 grams. Spirit of ammonia 60 grams. Bergamot oil 12 drops. Lavender oil 8 drops. Oil of cloves 4 drops. Neroli oil 4 drops. Cinnamon oil 4 drops. The ammonium carbonate, which should be quite fresh, and in lumps about the size of a hazelnut, is put into a wide-mouthed jar. The oils and ammonia are then mixed and poured into the jar and the stopper at once applied. Set aside for two days, at the end of which time the ingredients will be found to have united in a solid mass. If it is desired to prevent this occurrence and have the substance in the shape of a dry salt, instead of letting the container remain quiet, shake it frequently and violently every day for a week. The salt thus obtained can be easily removed from the container, coarsely pulverized and put into little smelling bottles, should it be desirable so to do. XOX-SECRET FORMULAS. 177 1889.

Common soap or whale oil soap y 2 pound, Water 1 gallon, 33 per cent. Heat the solution of soap and add it boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the mixture by means of a force pump and spray nozzle for five or ten minutes. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream which thickens upon cooling and should adhere without oiliness to the sur- face of glass. For use against scale insects dilute 1 part of the emulsion with 9 parts of water. For most other insects dilute 1 part of the emulsion with 15 parts of water. For soft insects like plant lice, the dilution may be carried to from 20 to 25 parts of water. 1900. Insecticides. B The milk emulsion is produced by the same methods as the above. 178 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 1901. The Resin Washes. A These insecticides act by contact, and also, in the case of scale insects, by forming an impervious coating which effectually smothers the insects treated. These resin washes vary in efficacy according to the in- sect treated. Experience has shown that the best formula for the red scale (Aonidia au- rantii Maskell) and its yellow variety (A. citrinus Coquillett) is as follows: Resin 18 pounds. Caustic soda (70 per cent strength) 5 pounds. Fish oil 2y 2 pints. Water to make 100 gallons. The necessary ingredients are placed in a kettle and a sufficient quantity of cold water added to cover them; they are then boiled until dissolved, being occasionally stirred in the meantime, and after the materials are dis- solved the boiling should be continued about an hour, and a considerable degree of heat should be employed, so as to keep the prepara- tion in a brisk state of ebullition, cold water being added in small quantities whenever there are indications of the preparation boiling over. Too much cold water, however, should not be added at one time, or the boiling pro- cess will be arrested and thereby delayed, but by a little practice the operator will learn how much water to add so as to keep the prepa- ration boiling actively. Stirring the prepara- tion is quite unnecessary during this stage of the work. When boiled sufficiently it will as- similate perfectly witb water, and should then be diluted with the proper quantity of cold water, adding it slowly at first and stirring occasionally during the process. The undi- luted preparation is pale yellowish in color, but by the addition of water it becomes a very dark brown. Before being sprayed on the trees it should be strained through a fine wire sieve, or through a piece of Swiss muslin, and this is usually accomplished when pouring the liquid into the spraying tank, by means of a strainer placed over the opening through which the preparation is introduced into the tank. The preparing of this compound will be greatly accelerated if the resin and caustic soda arc first pulverized before being placed in the boiler, but this is quite a difiicult task to perform. Both of these substances are put up in large cakes for the wholesale trade, the resin being in wooden barrels, each barrel con- taining a single cake weighing about 375 lbs., while the caustic soda is put up in iron drums containing a single cake each, weighing about 800 lbs. The soda is the most difficult to dis- solve, but this could doubtless be obviated by first dis§olv!ng it in cold water and then using the solution as required. This insecticide may be applied at any time during the grow- ing season. 1903. The Resin Washes. B A stronger wash is required for the San Jose scale (Aspidiotus perniciosus Comstock), and the following formula gives the best re- sults: Resin 30 pounds. Caustic soda (70 per cent ).. 9 pounds. Fish oil 4% pints. Water enough to make.... 100 gallons. Place all the ingredients in a kettle and cover with water to a depth of 4 or 5 inches; boil briskly for about two hours or until the compound can be perfectly dissolved with water. When this stage is reached the kettle should be nlled up with water, care being taken not to chill the wash by adding large quantities of cold water at once. It may be thus diluted to about 40 gallons, the additional water being added from time to time as it is used. This preparation should only be applied during winter or during the dormant period. Applied in the growing season it will cause the loss of foliage and fruit. In the application of both of these washes a very fine spray is not essential, as the object is not simply to wet the tree but to thoroughly coat it over with the compound, and this can be best accomplished by the use of a rather coarse spray, which can be thrown upon the tree with considerable force. 1903. For Subterranean Insects. A For Subterranean Insects. — Recent exper- iments have shown the practical value of the resin compounds against the grape phylloxera, and thev will also be applicable to the apple root louse and other underground insects. The cheapesi and at the same time one of the most satisfactory compounds experimented with is the following: Caustic soda, 77 per cent. . 5 pounds. Resin 40 pounds. Water to make 50 gallons. Dissolve the soda over fire with 4 gallons of water, add the resin, and after it is dissolved and while boiling add water slowly to make 50 gallons or compound. For use dilute in 500 gallons. Excavate basins about the vines 6 inches deep and about 2 feet in diameter and armly to each vine 5 gallons. The results will be more satisfactory if the treatment is made early in the spring, so that the rain of the season will assist in disseminating the wash about the roots. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 179 1904. For Subterranean Insects. B The kerosene emulsion made according to the formula given above is also applicable to certain underground insects in cases where it will not prove too expensive, as, for in- stance, the grape phylloxera or where white grubs are infesting a valuable lawn. It may then be usea in the proportion of 1 part of the emulsion to 15 gallons of water, applied liberally to the soil, and afterward washed down at frequent intervals with large quan- tities of water for several days. This can be done only where there is plenty of water at hand, but will be found of great value in special cases. 1905. For Subterranean Insects. C In other cases bisulphide of carbon may be used for specific and local underground forms. Nests of ants, for instance, may be destroyed by pouring 1 ounce of this substance into several holes, covering them with a wet blanket for ten minutes and afterward ex- ploding the vapor at the mouth of the holes with a torch. Against onions, cabbage and radish ma erots this substance may also be used by punching a hole with a sharp stick at the base of the plant and pouring in a tea- spoonful of the liquid, covering afterward with earth. 1906. Tbe Arsenites— London Purple, Paris Green and White Arsenic. A The Arsenites. — London Purple, Paris Green and White Arsenic. — These poisons are of the greatest service against all mandibu- late insects, as larvae and beetles, and they furnish the most satisfactory means of controlling most leaf feeders and the best wholesale remedy against the codling moth. Caution must be used in applying them on ac- count of the liability of burning or scalding the foliage. The poisons should be thor- oughly mixed with water at the rate of from 1 pound to 100-250 gallons water, and applied with a force pump or hand spray nozzle. In preparing the wash it will be best to first mix the poison with a small quantity of water, making a thick batter, and then dilute the latter and add to the reservoir or spray tank, mixing the whole thoroughly. 1907. The Arsenites. B When freshly mixed, either London purple or Paris Green may be applied to apple, plum and other fruit trees except the peach, at the rate of 1 pound to 150-200 gallons, the latter amount being recommended for the plum, which is somewhat more susceptible to scalding than the apple. White arsenic does little if any injury at the rate of 1 pound to 50 gallons of water. As shown by Mr. Gil- lette, however, when allowed to remain for some time (two weeks or more) in water, the white arsenic acts with wonderful energy, scalding when used at the rate of 1 pound to 100 gallons, from 10 per cent to 90 per cent of the foliage. The action of the other arse- nites remains practically the same, with per- haps, a slight increase in the case of London purple. 1908. The Arsenites. C With the peach these poisons, when ap- plied alone, even at the rate of 1 pound to 300 or more gallons of water, are injurious in their action, causing the loss of much of the foilage. By the addition of a little lime to the mixture, London purple and Paris green may be safely applied at the rate of 1 pound to 125 to 150 gallons of water, to the peach or the tenderest fcliage, or in much greater strength to strong foliage, such as that of the apple or most shade trees. 1909. Tbe Arsenites. D Whenever, therefore, the application is made to tender foliage or when the treating with a strong mixture is desirable, lime water, milky, but not heavy enough to close the nozzle, should be added at the rate of about 2 gallons to 100 gallons of the poison. Pure arsenic, however, should never be used with lime, as the latter greatly increases its action. With the apple, in spraying for the cod- ling moth, at least two applications should be made — the first on the falling of the blossoms, the apples being about the size of peas, and the second a week or ten days later; but the poison should never be applied after the fruit turns down on the stem, on account of the danger of the poison collecting and remaining permanently in the stem cavity. — Circular U.

One of the very best applications for the bites of mosquitoes and fleas, also for other eruptions attended with intense itchings, is: Menthol in alcohol, one part to ten. This is very cooling and immediately effectual. It is also an excellent lotion for application to the forehead and temples in headache, often at once subduing the same. — Weekly Med.

If the leaves of the plant turn reddish or yellow, or if they curl up, a close inspection will generally disclose that the plants are in- fested with a very small green insect, or else with the red spider, either of which must be destroyed. For this purpose, scald some common tobacco with water until the latter is colored to a yellow, and when cold sprinkle the leaves of the plants with it; but a better plan is to pass the stems and leaves of the plants between the fingers, and to then shake the plant and well water the bed imme- diately afterward. The latter operation de- stroys a large proportion of the insects shaken from the plant. This latter method is the only infallible one. 1913. Expelling Insects. All insects dread pennyroyal; the smell of it destroys some and drives the others away. At the time that fresh pennyroyal cannot be gathered, get oil of pennyroyal; pour some into a saucer and steep in it small pieces of wadding or raw cotton and place them in corners, closet shelves, bureau drawers, boxes, etc., and the cockroaches, ants, or other insects will soon disappear. It is also well to place some between the mattresses and around the bed. It is also a splendid thing for brushing off that terrible little in- sect, the seed tick. 1914. Insects and How to Fight Them. Cut Worms. — Where cut worms are trouble- some in the field, a very old and at the same time a very good remedy is to entrap them in holes made near the plants, or hills, if in the cornfield. An old rake handle, tapered at the end so as to make a smooth hole five or six inches deep, or more, will answer very well for this purpose. In the morning the worms that have taken refuge in these holes may be crushed by thrusting the rake handle into them again, and the trap is set for the next night. It is always well in planting to make provisions for the loss of a stalk or two by cut worms or other causes, as it is easier to thin out than to replant. 1915. May Beetles. May Beetles. — These are the perfect insects of the white grub, so destructive to lawns and sometimes to meadows. A French plan for destroying or rather catching the cockchafer, a very similar insect, is to place in the center of the orchard after sunset an old barrel, the inside of which has been previously tarred. At the bottom of the barrel is placed a lighted lamp, and the insects, circling around to get at the light, strike their wings and legs against the tarred sides of the barrel, and either get fast or are rendered so helpless that they fall to the bottom. Ten gallons of beetles have been captured in this way in a single night. 1916. Slugs. Slugs. — English gardeners place handfuls of bran at intervals of eight or ten feet along the border of garden walks. The slugs are at- tracted to the bran, and in the morning each little hean is found covered with them. The ground is then gone over again, this time the operator providing himself with a dust- pan and small broom and an empty bucket, and it is an easy matter to sweep up the little heaps and empty them, slugs and all, into the bucket. In this way many hundreds have been taken in a single walk, and if a little salt and water be placed on the bottom of the bucket the slugs coming in contact with it ar > almost instantly destroyed. 1917. Ants. Ants. — When these insects are troublesome in the garden, fill small bottles two-thirds with water, and then add sweet oil to within an inch of the top; plunge these into the ground near the nest or hills to within half an inch of the rim, and the insects coming for a sip will get into the oil and perish, as it fills the breathing pores. The writer once entrapped in a pantry myriads of red ants in a shallow tin cover smeared with lard, the vessel having accidently been left in their track. Another means of entrapping them, suggested to me by Professor Glover many years ago, is to sprinkle sugar into a damp- ened sponge near haunts to attract the in- sects. When they have swarmed through the sponge it is squeezed in hot water, and the trap is reset until the majority of the insects are killed. 1918. Aphis. Aphis. — A remedy for plant lice upon the terminal shoots of rose bushes (or similar hardy plants), said to work like a charm, is as follows: Take 4 ounces of quassia chips and boil for ten minutes in a gallon of soft water. Take out the chips and add 4 ounces of soft soap, which should be dissolved in it as it cools. Stir well before using, and apply with a moderate sized paint brush, brushing upward. Ten minutes after, syr- inge the trees with clean water to wash off the dead insects and the preparation, which would otherwise disfigure the rose trees. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 181 1919. Scale. Scale. — A French composition for destroy- ing scaie insects, plant lice, etc., on fruit and other trees, is as follows: Boil 2 gallons barley in water, then remove the grain (which may be fed to the chickens), and add to the liquid quicklime until it approaches the consistency of paint. When cold add 2 pounds of lampblack, mixing it for a long time, then add 1% pounds flowers of sulphur and 1 quart alcohol. The mixture is applied with a paint brush, first using a stiff bristle brush to remove moss. etc. It not only destroys the insects, but gives the bark greater strength. — Prairie Farmer. A year or two ago the Ontario Agricultural College published a list of formulas for pre- parations useful in destroying the various in- sects and fungi injurious to plants, from which the following likely to prove most use- ful to druggists in agricultural districts are reproduced: 1920. Insecticides and Fungicides. A A good general fungicide is the Bordeaux mixture, the formula most used being the fol- lowing: Copper sulphate 6 pounds. Lime 4 pounds. Water 22 gallons. Dissolve the copper compound in 16 gallons of water; slake the lime in 6 gallons of water, and, when the latter is cooled, pour it into the copper solution and mix thoroughly. A modified form, known as eau celeste, con- sists of — Copper sulphate 2 pounds. Ammonia 1 quart. Water 50 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate in 2 gallons of hot water; as soon as cool add the 1 quart of ammonia, and dilute to 50 gallons. The mixture should be sprayed over the in- fected parts. The most useful insecticides are those con- taining, as a basis, Paris green. This sub- stance, being insoluble, does not injure the foliage. A good formula is, 1 pound of Paris green to 200 gallons of water. This is very effective against leaf-eating insects. To de- stroy plant-lice and scale insects, the follow- ing emulsion should be used: Soft soap 1 quart. Boiling water 2 quarts. Mix, and while hot add 1 pint of coal oil. When using, dilute with twice the amount of either hard or soft water. Many other pre- parations are used, the chief being carbolic acid and tobacco dust; but the above emul- sion is most useful. If a combined insecti- cide and fungicide be preferred, it may be made by adding 4 ounces of Paris green .to the Bordeaux mixture. 1931. Precautions to be Adopted in Spraying. 1. Keep poison labeled, and out of the way of children. 2. Do not spray so far into the season as to affect the fruit. 3. In making emulsions remember the in- flammable nature of coal oil. 4. Never spray trees in bloom. 5. Try solutions on a small scale if likely to injure foliage, and watch results. As copper compounds act upon tin and iron, it is well to prepare such mixtures in earthen, wooden, or brass vessels. For certain fungi and insects special mix- tures must be used. 1923. Pear-leaf Blight, which appears on both leaves and fruit, giving the leaves a spotted appearance and causing the fruit to crack. — Spray with ammonical solution of copper car- bonate as soon as the leaves begin to open, and repeat two or three times at intervals of two weeks. 1933. Grape Black-rot. Grape Black-rot. — Spray with ammoniacal solution of copper carbonate or Bordeaux mixture six times, every two weeks, com- mencing early in May. If the last two spray- ings are with the copper carbonate the fruit will not be disfigured. 1934. Smut. Smut. — (1) Immersing seed in hot water of 135° F. for five minutes will destroy the spores of smut; 5 degrees above or below that point will fail. (2) Put 1 pound of copper sulphate in 20 gallons of water and allow the seed to remain in this for about fifteen hours; then put the seed for ten minutes in lime water made by slaking the lime in ten times its weight of water. 1935. Cucumber Beetles. Cucumber-beetles, which are often so trou- blesome, can only be kept away by covering the plants with netting. 1936. Strawberry Slugs. Strawberry-slugs may be destroyed by the use of pyrethrum. either dry or mixed with water. If this fails to remove all, the Paris green mixture will finish them. 182 NON^SECRET FORMULAS. 1937. Cabbage Worm. Cabbage worru. — The same treatment (with- out using Paris green) will prove effective in destroying the common cabbage worm. 1938. To rid Trunks and Cupboards of Moths. It frequently happens that in spite of care moths are discovered in the middle of the sum- mer in trunks or closets supposed to have been so impregnated with preventives that their entrance would have been impossible. They hide in the crevices, and many attempts to dislodge them are futile. A simple and ef- fective plan, according to a writer in Harper's Bazaar, is to heat stove lids or an iron shovel red hot, pour vinegar upon the iron, and let the fumes penetrate the cracks which could not be reached with a powder gun. Moths are particularly fond of new plaster, and the settling of the walls of houses affords them numberless hiding places which cannot well be reached except by fumigation. Burning sulphur is excellent for ridding walls of any sort of. vermin, but the fumes of this are ob- jectionable to many and they do not pass off so quickly as those of vinegar. 1939. Moth Pastilles. Camphor 5 Black pepper 10 Absinthe 10 Patchouli 2 Oil lavender 2 Oil clove 1 Paraffin 100 Melt together, and make into pastilles. 1930. Bedbug Exterminator. Soft soap 20 Water 65 Oil turpentine 5 Kerosene 10 Dissolve the soap in the water, with the aid of heat, add the turpentine, stir until the latter is thoroughly mixed, and finally add to the coal oil. continuing the heat and stirring until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Directions to go with the above: Wash the parts of the bedstead, let dry, and apply the mixture with a brush to all parts frequented by the bugs. The preparation may also be painted on walls, etc. 1931. Cockroach Exterminator. ' Mix 3 pounds of oatmeal, or cornmeal, with a pound of white lead; add treacle to form a good paste, and put a portion down at night in the infested places. Repeat for a few nights alternately, and in the morning remove the paste and the corpses to a convenient place. 1933. Vermin Killer, for Bats and Mice. Sulphate of strychnia % ounce. Powdered sugar 1 ounce. Wheaten flour 14% ounces. Oil of anise % dram. Solution of aniline q. s.

Water % pound. Dissolve the glue in the water by the heat of a water bath; and while hot brush on to sheets of parchment paper; when the sizing has set on the paper, put on the sticky fly paper mixture (see preceding formula) with a varnish brush, using a metal edge to keep the margin of the paper free from the mix- ture. 1935. Fly Paint. Arsenic powdered 1 ounce. Sal soda 1 ounce. Water 8 ounces. Glycerine 8 ounces. Dissolve the arsenic and sal soda in the water, using heat, when dissolved, filter and add the glycerine; mix well and apply with a brush to windows or other places infested with flies. 1936. Phosphorus Paste, for Exterminating Bats, Mice, Boaches and Ants. Carbon bisulphide 1 pound. Phosphorus % ounce. Oil of anise % ounce. Wheaten flour 24 ounces. Gluocose 6 pints. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 183 Dissolve the phosphorus in the carbon, bi- sulphide, and add the oil of anise; set aside until needed; heat the gluocose to 150° F., and stir in the flour when the temperature of the mixture has fallen to 100° (and not sooner); add the solution of phosphorus and mix well into the paste with a wooden stirring stick until thoroughly incorporated. A wide porce- lain dish is the most suitable vessel to use for mixing the paste; be careful that no dry flour adheres to the side of the vessel whilst stirring in the solution of phosphorus. This paste will not ferment and will remain in good con- dition for a long time; when the oil of anise has been used for some time to perfume the paste with a change may be made to oil of rhodium; or oil of fennel, alternating the odors, as may seem fit. 1937.

To Destroy Ants. Sci. Am. Cyc. Flour of sulphur, % pound; potash, 4 ounces; set in at earthen vessel, over the fire, till dissolved ana united. Afterward heat to powder; infuse a little of the powder In water, and sprinkle in places infested by ants. 1945. Black Ants. A few leaves of green wormwood scattered among the haunts of black ants will drive them away. 1946. Red Ants. Powdered borax sprinkled around the in- fested places will drive them away, as also will powdered cloves. Grease a plate with lard, they will leave sugar to go to it, and then turn them into the fire; cracked nuts will answer the same purpose. Oil of tur- pentine run into the cracks with a sewing ma- chine oil can. 184 NON^SEORET FORMULAS. 1947. Ant Poison. Cape aloes 1 pound. Water 1 gallon. Boil together and add to the mixture Camphor, in small pieces. . 6 ounces. This can be used for other insects by dilut- ing with water and sprinkling through a gar- den pump or watering can. 1948.

Store the substance in jars. Modus operandi. — Liquify the mass and dip the cork and portion of neck of bottle into the liquid; it sets very quickly. This capping is particularly applicable for varnishes, benzine, liquid glue, glycerine jelly, and other little odds and ends which we wish to make attractive on the shop counter, and it is at the same time a most "hermetical seal." CEMENTS. 1961. Clarke's Anodyne Cement. Balsam, Canada 1 dram. Slaked lime q. s. to make a paste. 1963. Cement for Bicycle Tires. Asphalt 2 pounds. Gutta percha 1 pound. Melt together, apply to hot wheel, then slip on tire. 1963. Roman Cement. Ordinary clay 60 pounds. Calcine and mix with Lime 40 pounds. Recalcine the whole. 1964. Cement for Roofs. A Roofs, Cement for. — Melt together in an iron pot two parts by weight of common pitch and one part gutta percha. This forms a homogeneous fluid much more manageable than gutta percha alone. To re- pair gutters, roofs or other surfaces, care- fully clean out of the cracks all earthy mat- ters, slightly warm the edges with a plumb- er's soldering iron, then pour the cement in a fluid state upon the cracks while hot, finish- ing up by going over the cement with a mod- erately hot iron, so as to make a good con- nection and a smooth joint. The above will repair zinc, lead or iron, and is a good cement for aquariums. 1965. Cement for Roofs. B Take Rosin 4 pounds. Linseed oil 1 pint. Red Lead , 2 ounces. Stir in fine sand until the proper consis- tency is secured, and apply warm. This ce- ment becomes hard, and yet possesses con- siderable elasticity, is durable and water- proof. 1966. Rubber Cement. A Rubber Cements. — Rubber cements are very common and very useful, but great care should be taken in their preparation to guard against fire; they should not be prepared at night, as the carbon bisulphide, naptha, or chloroform is very inflammable. Vessels which are used to digest the rubber should be closed and if possible put out of doors. If heat is required, use a sand or hot water bath; on no account bring near a fire. 1967. Rubber Cement. B Rubber Cement. — Digest caoutchouc, cut in fine shreds, with about 4 volumes of naphtha or carbon bisulphide in a well covered vessel for several days. 1968. Rubber Cement. C Cement for sticking on leather patches and for attaching rubber soles to boots and shoes is prenared from virgin or native India rubber, by cutting it into small pieces or else shred- ding it up; a bottle is filled with this to about one-tenth of its capacity, benzine is then poured on till about three parts full, but be certain that the benzine is free from oil. It is then kept till thoroughly dissolved and of a thick consistency. If it turns out too thick or thin, suitable quantities must be added of either material to make as required. 1969. Rubber Cement. D Cement used for repairing holes in rubber boots and shoes is made of the following so- lution: Caoutchouc 10 parts. Chloroform 280 parts. This is simply prepared by allowing the caoutchouc to dissolve in the chloroform. Caoutchouc 10 parts. Resin 4 parts. Gum turpentine 40 parts. For this solution the caoutchouc is shaved into small pieces and melted up with the resin, the turpentine is then added, and all is then dissolved in the oil of turpentine. The two solutions are then mixed together. To 186 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. repair the shoe with thia cement first wash the hole over with it, then a piece of linen dipped in it is placed over it; as soon as the linen adheres to the sole, the cement is then applied as thickly as required. 1970. Rubber Cement. E Good rubber cement for sheet rubber, or for attaching rubber material of any descrip- tion or shape to metal, may be made by soft- ening and dissolving shellac in ten times its weight of water of ammonia. A transparent mass is thus obtained, which, after keeping three or four weeks, becomes liquid, and may be used without requiring heat. When ap- plied it will be found to soften the rubber, but when the ammonia is evaporated it forms a kind of hard coat, and causes it to become both impervious to gases as well as liquids. 1971. Rubber Cement. F A cement for uniting India rubber is com- posed as follows: Rubber, finely chopped 100 parts. Resin 15 parts. Shellac 10 parts. These are dissolved in bisulphide of carbon. 1973. Rubber Cement. G Another India rubber cement is made of India rubber. .. 15 grains. Chloroform 2 ounces. Mastic 4 drams. First mix the India rubber and chloroform together, and when dissolved, the mastic is added in powder. It is then allowed to stand for a week or two before using. 1973. Rubber Cement. H Rubber Cement to Mend Boots. — Dissolve 1 dram of gutta percha in 1 ounce of bisulphide of carbon; filter through coarse filter paper; add 15 grains of pure rubber; rub the whole smooth with a palette knife, taking care to do it quickly. If necessary, thin with bisul- phide of carbon. Keep it away from fire or light, as it is volatile and inflammable. 1974. To Cement Hard Rubber. Dissolve bleached gutta percha in carbon bisulphide. Cement, and when dry brush over carbon bisulphide in which sulphur has been dissolved. 1975. Cement to Mend Rubber. Equal parts of pitch and gutta percha are melted together and linseed oil is added, which contains litharge. Melt until all are well mixed, use no more of the linseed oil than necessary. Apply warm. 1976. Cement for Rubber Shoes. Cement for Rubber Shoes. — 2% parts India rubber are dissolved in 70 parts of chloroform by mastication. For the second solution melt 2!/2 parts India rubber with 1 part of resin, V 2 part of Venice turpentine is added, and lastly 10 parts oil of turpentine. Mix the so- lutions. 1977. To Fasten Hard Rubber to Metal. To Fasten Hard Rubber to Metal. — Make a thin solution of glue, and gradually add pul- verized wood ashes till you have a stiff varnish. Use this cement hot. 1978. Cement for Mending Hard Rubber. Rubber (Hard) Cement for Mending. — Fuse together equal parts of gutta percha and genu- ine asphaltum; apply hot to the joint, closing the latter immediately with pressure. See Ammonia and Shellac Cement. No. 1970. 1979. Oil and Sulphur. Oil and Sulphur. — 1 of sulphur to 12 of oil gives a substance like molasses; 4 to 12 of oil a stiff substance like rubber. To be success- ful in making this compound, take an iron ladle, such as is used for the melting of lead, and fill it not more than one-third full, and place it over a clear fire. Owing to a quan- tity of water being held in the oil by the vegetable matter, it will begin to seethe, and, if not closely watched, boil over into the fire. After a little time it will subside, the surface remaining quite placid, with now and then little flickers of smoke flitting across the sur- face. Your sulphur must be either roll brim- stone or the crude sublimed, i. e., not washed or treated with acid. If the first, finely powder it, and mix by degrees in the oil, stirring all the time until incorporated. 1980. Cement to Fasten Rubber to Wood and Metal. Rubber to Wood and Metal, Cement to Fasten. — As rubber plates and rings are now almost exclusively used for making connec- tions between steam and other pipes and ap- paratus, much annoyance is often experienced by the impossibility or imperfectness of an air tight connection. This is obviated entirely by employing a cement which fastens equally well to the rubber and to the metal or wood. Such cement is prepared by a solution of shel- lac in ammonia. This is best made by soak- ing pulverized gum shellac in 10 times its weight of strong ammonia, when a slimy mass is obtained, which, in three or four weeks, will become liquid without the use of hot water. This softens the rubber, and becomes, after volatilization of the ammonia, hard and im- permeable to gases and fluids. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 187 1981. Rnst Cement. Rust Cement. — Rust Cements for Water and Steam Pipes, Steam Boilers, etc. 1. Make a stiff paste with Sal ammoniac 2 parts. Iron borings 35 parts. Sulphur and water 1 part. and drive it into the joint with a chisel; or, to Sal ammoniac 2 parts. Flowers of sulphur 1 part. add Iron chips 60 parts. Mix the whole with water, to which one- sixth part yinegar or a little sulphuric acid is added. Another cement is made by mixing 100 parts of bright iron filings or fine chips ] or borings with 1 part powdered ammo- niac, and moistening with urine; when thus prepared, force it into the joint. It will prove serviceable under the action of fire. 1982. Metallic Cement. A Metallic Cement.— From 20 to 30 parts of finely divided copper, obtained by the reduc- ! tion of oxide of copper with hydrogen, or by precipitations from solutions of its sulphate with zinc, are made into a paste with oil of j vitrol, and 70 parts of mercury added, the ! whole being well triturated. When the amal- ! gamation is complete the acid is removed by | washing with boiled water, and the compound ! allowed to cool. In ten or twelve hours it ! becomes sufficiently hard to receive a brill- | iant polish, and to scratch the surface of tin or gold. By heat it assumes the consistence of wax, and, as it does not contract by cool- ing, it is recommended by a noted chemist for | dentists' use for stopping teeth. This is a splendid cement for attaching to the surface of wood, glass, metal and porcelain. 1983. Metallic Cement. B The following recipe for a metallic cement for repairing broken stone is given by Prof. Brune, of the School of Fine Arts. It was used in the restoration of the colonnade of the Louvre, of the Pont Xeuf, and of the Conserv- atoire des Arts et Metiers. It consists of a powder and a liquid. The powder: Oxide of zinc, (by weight) . 2 parts. Crushed limestone (of hard nature) 2 parts. Crushed grit 1 part. The whole intimately mixed and ground. Ocher in suitable proportions is added as a coloring matter. The liquid: A saturated solution of zinc in commercial hydrochloric acid, to which is added a part, by weight, of hydrochlorate of ammonia equal to one-sixth that of the dissolved zinc. This liquid is di- luted with two-thirds of its bulk of water. To use the cement, 1 pound of the powder is to be mixed with 2% pints of the liquid. The cement hardens very quickly and is very strong. 1984. Cement for Casein. Casein, Cement for. — Mix with Water quartz sand (elutri- ated) 5 parts. Casein 4 parts. Lime (slaked) 5 parts. 1985. To Cement Metals. Any fibrous material can be stuck to metal, whether iron or other metal, by a mixture composed of good glue dissolved in hot vine- gar with one-third of its volume of white pine pitch, also hot. This composition, it is said, will give a sure and certain result. 1986. Cement for Fastening Metal Letters on Glass, Marble, Wood. Etc. Copal varnish 30 parts. Linseed oil varnish 10 parts.

For joining metallic surfaces where solder- ing is inconvenient, recourse may be had to a composition formed in the following way: Pure and finely divided copper, such as that obtained by the reduction of sulphate of cop- per with ainc clippings, 20 to 36 parts, ac- cording to the degree of hardness desired in the cement, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of sulphuric acid to make a thick paste; with this is incorporated, by trituration in a mor- tar, mercury 70 parts. The mass is soft, but hardens at the end of some hours. For use it is heated to 212° F. (100° C), and powdered in an iron mortar heated to 302° F. (150° C); it then assumes the consistence of wax, and is harder in proportion, as it contains more copper. 1996. Cement for Metal. Metal, Cement for. — Melt over a water bath Copal varnish 30 parts. Drying oil 10 parts. Turpentine 6 parts. When melted add Slaked lime 20 parts. 1997. Cement for Metal and Rubber. Metal and Rubber, Cement for. — Powdered shellac is softened in ten times its weight of strong water of ammonia, whereby a trans- parent mass is obtained, which becomes fluid after keeping some little time without the use of hot water. In three or four weeks the mix- ture is perfectly liquid, and when applied, it will be found to soften the rubber. As soon as the ammonia evaporates the rubber hard- ens again — it is said, quite firmly — and thus becomes impervious botfi to gases and to liquids. For cementing sheet rubber, or rubber material in any shape, to metal, glass, and other smooth surfaces, the cement is highly recommended. 1998. To Cement Thin Metal Sheets. Metal Sheets, Thin, to Cement. — Dissolve isinglass, cut fine, in warm water, and add a little nitric acid. If more acid is used than is necessary the cement will not dry. 1999.

Metal to Porcelain, Glass, etc. — Dissolve good glue in water, heat and add one-half as much linseed and varnish and one-quarter as much Venice turpentine as the amount of glue used. 3001. Cement for Mica. Mica, Cement for. — A colorless cement for joining sheets of mica is prepared as follows: Clear gelatine is softened by soaking it in a little cold water, and the excess of water is pressed out by gently squeezing it in a cloth. It is then heated over a water bath until it begins to melt, and just enough hot proof spirit (not in excess) stirred in to make it fluid. To each pint of this solution is grad- ually added, while stirring, one-quarter ounce of gum ammoniac and one and one-third ounces of gum mastic previously dissolved in 4 ounces of rectified spirit. It must be warmed to liquefy it for use and kept in stop- pered bottles when not required. This ce- ment, when properly prepared, resists cold water NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 189 2002. Microscope Cement.

GLUES. 2006. Sci. Am. Cyclo. Glue is a cement used for joining pieces of wood together and has for its chief constit- uent a substance called gelatine, obtained from the cuttings of hides, skins, tendons and other refuse parts of animals, as well as from cuttings of leather and parchment, which, after being well soaked in milk of lime, to dissolve any blood, flesh or fat, are thoroughly washed in a stream of water to remove the lime. The material is then boiled in water until the required adhesive strength is obtained, when the liquid is run off into a cistern and clarified with powdered alum, which precipitates in the form of sulphate any lime that may remain, as well as other impurities. Before cooling it is drawn off into moulds, and is then in the form of size, which, when cut into slices and dried in the air, hardens into glue. 2007. Hints About Glue. Hints about Glue. — Good glue should be a light brown color, semi-transparent, and free from waves or cloudy lines. Glue loses much of its strength by frequent remelting; there- fore, glue which is newly made is preferable to that which has been reboiled. The hotter the glue the more force it will exert in keep- ing the joined parts glued together. In all large and long joints it should be applied im- mediately after boiling. Apply pressure until it is set Ox hardened. The following, translated from Des Ingen- ieurs Taschenbuch, contains a great deal of valuable information which will probably be acceptable to many of our readers. Common Glue. — The absolute strength of a well glued joint is: Pounds per square inch. Across the grain, With the end to end. grain. Beech 2,133 1,095 Elm 1,436 1,124 Oak 1,735 568 White wood 1,493 341 Maple 1,422 896 It is customary to use from one-sixth to one- tenth of the above values, to calculate the resistance which surfaces joined with glue can permanently sustain with safety. 2008. Bank Note or Mouth Glue. Bank ISote or Mouth Glue. — Is made by dissolving 1 pound of fine glue or gelatine, in water, evaporating it till most of the water is expelled; adding one-half pound brown sugar, and pouring it into moulds. Some add a little lemon juice. It is also made with 2 parts of dextrine, 2 of water and 1 of spirit. 2009. Bookbinders' Glue. Bookbinder's glue. — Use best carpenter's or white glue, to which, after soaking and heating, one-twentieth its weight of glycer- ine is added. 2010. Glue of Caseine. Glue of Caseine. — 1. (Braconnet.) — Dissolve caseine in a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda. 2. (Wagner.) — Dissolve caseine in a cold saturated solution of borax.

Compound Glue, to Make. — Take very fine flour, mix it with white of eggs, isinglass and a little yerst; mingle the materials and beat them well together; spread them, the batter being made thin with gum water, on even tin plates and dry them in a stove, then cut them out for use. To color them tinge the paste with Brazil or vermilion for red; indigo or verditer, etc., for blue; saffron, turmeric or gamboge, etc., for yellow. 190 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 3012. To Prevent Glue from Cracking. Cracking, to prevent Glue from. — Glue frequently cracks because of the dryness of the air in rooms warmed by stoves. An Aus- trian contemporary recommends the addition of a little chloride of calcium to glue to pre- vent this disagreeable property of cracking. Chloride of calcium is such a deliquescent salt that it attracts enough moisture to pre- vent the glue from cracking. Glue thus pre- pared will adhere to glass, metal', etc., and can be used for putting on labels without danger of their dropping off. Add a very small quantity of glycerine to the glue. The quantity must be modified ac- cording to circumstances. 2013. Glue for Damp Wood. A Damp Wood, Glue for. — Soak pure glue in water until it is soft; then dissolve it in the smallest possible amount of proof spirit by the aid of a gentle heat In 2 ounces of this mixture dissolve 10 grains of gum ammoni- acum, and while still liquid add one-half dram of mastic dissolved in 3 drams of recti- fied spirit. Stir well and keep the cement liquefied in a covered vessel over a hot water bath. It is essentially a solution of glue in mastic varnish. 2014. Glue for Damp Wood. Shellac, 4 ounces; borax, 1 ounce B boil in a little water until dissolved and concentrate by heat to a paste. 2015. Elastic Glue, which does not spoil, is ob- tained as follows: Good common glue is dis- solved in * ater, on the water bath, and the water evaporated down to a mass of thick consistence, to which a quantity of glycerine, equal in weight with the glue, is added, after which the heating is continued until all the water has been driven off, when the mass is poured out into the moulds or on a marble slab. This mixture answers for stamps, printer's rollers, galvano-plastic copies, etc. 2016. Ether Glue. Ether Glue. — Dissolve glue in nitric ether. The etber will only dissolve a certain amount of glue, therefore the solution cannot be made very thick; it will be about the con- sistency of molasses, and is much more te- nacious than glue made with hot water, it is improved by adding a few bits of India rubber, cut into pieces about the size of a buckshot. Let the solution stand a few days, stirring frequently. 2017. Fire Proof Glue. Fireproof Glue.— Mix a handful of quick- lime in 4 ounces of linseed oil; boil to a good thickness; then spread on tin plates in the shade, ana it will become exceedingly hard, but may be easily dissolved over the fire and used as ordinary glue. 2018. Glue for Cementing Labels on Flower Pots. Flower Pots, Glue for Cementing Labels on. —Use thin paper for label and attach with white gelatine in solution, to which has been added one per cent of bichromate of potash. This must be done in a dark or obscure room. Then expose the labels to sunlight. After writing varnish with solution of shellac in alcohol. 2019. Frozen Glue. Frozen Glue.— The glue while gelatinous is sliced, placed on nets and allowed to freeze by natural cold. Of course the process can only be conducted in cold weather. The pro- duct is porous and much more bulky than hard glue, but is a better article, as it dis- solves more easily. It sells largely in New England, where it is preferred by buyers to the hard glue. 2020. Glue for Joining Glass to Wood.

Dissolve isinglass in water and strain it through coarse linen. Then add a little alco- hol and evaporate to such a consistency that when cold it will be dry and hard. This will be found to be more tenacious than common glue and therefore preferable in many cases. 2024. Glue for Ivory and Bone. Isinglass is boiled in water until very thick, when enough zinc white is added to make the whole the consistency of molasses. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 191 2025. To Glue Labels to Iron.

From the Chemists' and Druggists' Diary for 1879, p. 18S, the following seven methods of making a cement for affixing paper to tin: Add to ordinary paste a little honey or glycerine. Add muriatic acid to the gum; this is apt to cause the metal to rust under and around the j label. Add a little ammonia, or Tartaric acid to the starch paste or mucil- j age. Add aluminum sulphate (not alum) to the mucilage. The best plan is said to be to add 20 drops of a solution of chloride of antimony to 8 ounces of paste of mucilage. 2027. To Glue Leather to Iron. There is a constant inquiry as to the best plan for fastening leather to iron, and there \ are many recipes for doing it. But probably ! the simplest mode, and one that will answer in a majority of cases, is the following: To 1 glue leather to iron, paint the iron with some | kind of lead color, say white lead and lamp ! black. When dry, cover with a cement made : as follows: Take the best glue, soak it in j cold water till soft, then dissolve it in vinegar i with a moderate heat, then add one-third of ; the bulk of white pine turpentine, thoroughly | mix, and by means of the vinegar make it of j the proper consistency to be spread with a j brush, and apply it while hot; draw the | leather on quickly, and press it tightly in • place. If a pulley, draw the leather round tightly, lap and clamp. 2028. Glue for Leather Goods. This glue, though rather complex in compo- sition, gives good results. Eight ounces of rye whisky are diluted with 8 ounces of water and the mixture is made into a paste with 2 ■ ounces of starch, three-quarters of an ounce of good glue are dissolved in the same amount of water, an equal amount of turpen- tine is added and the mixture and the paste are combined. 2029. Leather, Etc., to Metals. Leather, etc., to Metals. — One part crushed nut galls digested six hours with 8 parts dis- tilled water and strained. Glue is macerated in its own weight of water for twenty-four hours, then dissolved. The warm infusion of nut galls is spread on the leather; the glue solution upon the roughened surface of the warm metal; the moist leather is then pressed upon it and dried. 2030. Liquid Glue. A A liquid glue possessing great resisting power, recommended for wood and iron, is prepared, according to Hesz, as follows: Clear gelatine, 100 parts; cabinet-makers' glue, 100 parts; alcohol, 25 parts; alum, 2 parts; the whole mixed with 200 parts of 20 per cent acetic acid, and heated on a water bath for six hours. An ordinary liquid glue, also well adapted for wood and iron, is made by boiling together for several hours 100 parts glue, 260 parts water, and 16 parts nitric acid. — En- glish Mechanic. 2031. Liquid Glue. B An improved liquid glue, according to the Journal of Applied Chemistry, may be pre- pared by dissolving 3 parts of glue, broken into small pieces, in 12 to 15 parts of saccha- rate of lime. On warming, the glue dissolves rapidly, and remains liquid when cold, with- out losing its strength. Any desirable con- sistency may be secured by varying the amount of saccharate of lime. 2032. Liquid Glue- C Two ounces gelatine, 4 ounces water; when the gelatine has fully swelled, add 2 ounces glacial acetic acid. It is capital for mending china, glass, etc. — A. Pumphrey. 2033. Liquid Glue Without Acid. Liquid Glue Without Acid. — An excellent liquid glue is made thus: Take of best white glue, 16 ounces; white lead, dry, 4 ounces; rain water, 2 pints; alcohol, 4 ounces. With constant stirring dissolve the glue and mix the lead in the water by means of a water bath. Add the alcohol, and continue the heat for a few minutes. Lastly, pour into bottles while it is still hot. 2034. Take a wide mouthed bottle, and dissolve in it 8 ounces best glue in one-half pint water, by setting it in a vessel of water, and heat- ing until dissolved. Then add slowly 2^ ounces strong aquafortis (nitric acid), 36° Baume, stirring all the while. Effervesence takes place under generation of nitrous acid. When all the acid has been added, the liquid is allowed to cool. Keep it well corked, and it will be ready for use at any moment. 192 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2035. Take of best white glue, 16 ounces; white lead, dry, 4 ounces; rain water, 2 pints; alcohol, 4 ounces; with constant stirring, dis- solve the glue and lead in the water by means of a water bath. Add the alcohol and con- tinue the heat for a few minutes. Lastly pour into bottles while hot. 3036. Take 1 pint of the common turpentine and mix in a quart bottle with 4 fluid ounces 98 per cent alcohol. Agitate well, and let stand until the two fluids separate. Decant the turpentine (which will form' the lower layer) from the alcohol, and mix it with 1 pint clear water. Agitate thoroughly, and let stand un- til these two fluids separate, then from the water decant the turpentine (which this time will form the upper layer), and, finally, mix with the turpentine about 1 ounce powdered starch, and filter through paper. 2037. Lehner publishes the following formula for making a liquid paste or glue from starch and acid. Place 5 pounds potato starch in 6 pounds water, and add one-quarter pound pure nitric acid. Keep it in a warm place, stir- ring frequently for forty-eight hours. Then boil the mixture until it forms a thick and translucent substance. Dilute with water, if necessary, and filter through a thick cloth. At the same time another paste is made from sugar and gum arabic. Dissolve 5 pounds gum arabic and one pound sugar in 5 pounds water, and add 1 ounce nitric acid and heat to boiling. Then mix the above with the starch paste. The resultant paste is liquid, does not mould, and dries on paper with a gloss. It is useful for labels, wrappers, and fine bookbinders' use. Dry pocket glue\ is made from 12 parts glue and 5 parts sugar. The glue is boiled until entirely dissolved, the sugar dissolved in the hot glue, and the mass evaporated until it hardens on cooling. The hard substance dissolves rapidly in lukewarm water, and is an excellent glue for use on paper. — Polytech. Notiz.; Pharm. Record. 2038. Gut 6 parts glue in small pieces. Pour 16 parts water over it, allow it to stand for a few hours. Add 1% part sulphate of zinc, 1 part hydrochloric acid gas.

A Although now far from new, the extremely valuable marine glue of Jeffrey, does not seem to be as well known in this country as it deserves. Prepared by dissolving 1 part India rubber in crude benzine, and mix- ing with 2 parts shellac by the aid of heat. The waterproof character of this cement, in connection with its slight elastic flexibility, the ease with which it is applied when warm, and the promptness with which it sets on cooling, make it a most useful substance in many applications to house construction and furniture, as well as on board ship, where it was originally intended to be chiefly em- ployed. 2043. Marine Glue. B Caoutchouc, 1 ounce; genuine asphaltum, 2 ounces; benzole or naptha, q. s.

Hints in Melting and Using. — The hotter the glue, the more force it will exert in keeping the two parts glued together; therefore, in all large and long joints, the glue should be applied immediately after boiling. Glue loses much of its strength by frequently remelting; that glue, therefore, which is newly made is much more preferable to that which has been reboiled. 3047. A Glue to Resist Heat or Moisture.

Moisture proof glue is made by dissolving 16 ounces of glue in 3 pints of skim milk. If a still stronger glue be wanted, add powdered lime. 2049. Parchment Glue. Parchment, 10 parts, is cut into small pieces and boiled in 128 parts water until the liquid is reduced to 80 parts. The decoction is filtered through linen, and evaporated over a gentle fire until it presents the required con- sistence. 2050. Dry Pocket Glue. Dry pocket glue is made from 12 parts of glue and 5 parts of sugar. The glue is boiled until entirely dissolved, the sugar dis- solved in the hot glue, and the mass evapo- rated until it hardens on cooling. The hard substance dissolves rapidly in lukewarm water, and is an excellent glue for use on paper. 2051. Portable or Mouth Glue.

Rice Glue. The fine Japanese cement is made by mixing rice flour with a sufficient quantity of cold water, then boiling gently, with 'constant stir- ring. 2053. Spaulding's Glue. Soak the glue in cold water, using only glass, earthern or porcelain dishes. Then by gentle heat dissolve the glue in the same water, and pour in a small quantity nitric acid, sufficient to give the glue a sour taste like vinegar, about 1 ounce to every pound of glue. 2054. Glue for Tablets. For 50 pounds of the best glue (dry) take 9 pounds glycerine. Soak the glue for ten min- utes and heat to solution and add the glycer- ine. If too thick, add water. Color with ani- line. 2055. Tungstic Glue. Tungstic glue has been suggested as a sub- stitute for hard India rubber, as it can be used for all the purposes to which this latter is applied. It is thus prepared: Mix a thick solution of glue with tungstate of soda and hydrochloric acid. A compound of tungstic i acid and glue is precipitated, which, at a temperature of 86 to 104 F., is sufficiently elastic to be drawn out into very thin sheets. 2056. Veneering Glue, Well Suited for Inlaying. The best glue is readily known by its trans- parency, and being of a rather light brown, free from clouds and streaks. Dissolve this in water, and to every pint add a half gill of the best vinegar and one-half ounce of isin- glass. 2057. Waterproof Glue. A Glue may be rendered insoluble by tannic acid dissolved in a small quantity of soft water. 2058. Waterproof Glue. B In order to render glue insoluble in water, even hot water, it is only necessary when dis- solving the glue for use to add a little potas- sium bichromate to the water and to expose the glued part to light. The proportion of po- tassium bichromate will vary with circum- stances; but for most purposes about one- fiftieth of the amount of glue used will suffice. In other words, glue containing potassium bi- chromate, when exposed to the light, becomes insoluble. 194 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 8059. Waterproof Glue. C To make an impermeable glue, soak ordi- nary glue in water until it softens, and re- move it before it has lost its primitive form. After this, dissolve it in linseed oil over a slow fire until it is brought to the consistence of a jelly. This glue may be used for join- ing any kinds of material. In addition to strength and hardness, it has the advantage of resisting the action of water. — Revue In- dustrielle. 2060. Fire and Waterproof Glue.

Add to this by degrees, linseed oil, rendered drying by boiling it with litharge. While the oil is added the ingredients must be well stirred, so as to mix them thoroughly. 3063. White Glue. A writer in the Moniteur Scientifique says that to add oxalic acid and white oxide of zinc in the proportion of 1 per cent to glue gives a whiter and clearer product than any of the measures now in use. The glue should first be reduced with water and heated to a thick sirup, and the chemicals added while the mass is hot. 3063. Waterproof Glue for Wood.

This solution is then added to a hot, thick solution of glue, to which isinglass has been added, and is next filtered while hot through cloth or a sieve. 3070. Glue Dressing for Wounds. Cabinetmakers and woodworkers generally are familiar with the uses of glue in dressing tool cuts and other slight wounds incident to their calling. The addition of acetic acid to the glue and a little otto of roses will cover the odor of the glue and the acid. This com- pound spread on paper or muslin makes a good substitute for adhesive plaster for surgical use. It is easily and quickly pre- pared simply by putting into a vessel of boil- ing water a bottle containing 1 part of glue to 4 parts by measure of the acid, and letting the bottle remain in this bath until the glue is fully dissolved and mixed with the acid. Common glue may be used and officinal acetic acid, to be had at any drug store. The mix- ture should be kept in a wide mouthed bottle well stoppered by a long cork, which can al- ways be removed by heating the neck of the bottle. Care should be taken to keep the mouth of the bottle clean by wiping it well with a cloth dipped in hot water. A bottle of this cheap and easily prepared dressing would be a good thing to have at home as well as at the workshop. 3071. Cement for China and Glass. Russian glue 8 ounces. Water 4 ounces.

Caution. Caution. — Competent druggists need no di- rections for properly mixing the chemicals of a colored fire, but as the compounding of fire- works is oftentimes the great ambition of be- ginners, a word of advice will not be amiss in regard to the dangers of the manipulation, and the way to avoid them. Each substance must be dried and powdered separately, and afterwards mixed together in small quanti- ties with a card or a wooden spatula on a piece of paper. Sifting with a hair sieve is a good way also, but the use of a mortar and pestle is extremely dangerous. 3096. Butter Coloring. Sal soda 2 pounds. Carbonate of potash 2 pounds. Cold water 5 gallons.

A Chloroform will restore the color of gar- ments, where the same has been destroyed by acids. 2108. To Remove Acid Stains. B When acid has accidentally or otherwise destroyed or changed the color of the fabric, ammonia should be applied to neutralize the acid. A subsequent application of chloroform restores the original color. 3109. To Remove Acid Stains. C Spots produced by hydrochloric or sul- phuric acid can be removed by the application of concentrated ammonia, while spots from nitric acid can scarcely be obliterated. 2110. Acids, Vinegar, Sour Wine, Must, Sour Fruits. White goods, simple washing, followed up by chlorine water if a fruit color accompanies the acid. Colored cottons, woolens, and silks are very carefully moistened with dilute am- monia, with the finger end. (In case of deli- cate colors, it will be found preferable to make some prepared chalk into thin paste, with water, and apply it to the spots.) 2111. To Clean Alabaster. A The best method of cleaning these orna- ments is to immerse them for some time in milk of lime, and then wash in clean water, and when dry dust them with a little French chalk. MhK of lime is made by mixing a little slaked lime in water. This has a "milky" appearance, whence its name. Ben- zol or pure oil of turpentine is very highly recommended. 2112. To Clean Alabaster. B Use soap and water, with a little washing soda or ammonia, if necessary, Rinse it thor- oughly. 2113. Alkali Stains. To remove from garments. A mixture of acetic a:*d, diluted with a large quantity of water, will remove stains brought by soda, soap, boilers, lye, etc., if the solution is read- ily applied. 2114. To Remove Stains of Aniline from the Hands. Wash with strong alcohol, or what is more effectual, wash with a little bleaching powder, then with alcohol. 2115. To Clean Stuffed Animals. Give the animal a good brushing with a stiff clothes brush. After this warm a quan- tity of new bran in a pan, taking care it does not burn, to prevent which, quickly stir it. When warm, rub it well into the fur with your hand. Repeat this a few times, then rid the fur of the bran, and give it another sharp brushing until free from dust. 2116. Scouring Balls. A Curd soap 8 ounces. Oil of turpentine 1 ounce. Oxgall 1 ounce. Melt the soap, and when cooled a little, stir in the rest, and make it into cakes while warm. 2117. Scouring Balls. B Soft soap 1 pound. Fuller's eaixn 1 pound. Beat them well together in a mortar, and form into cakes. To> remove grease, etc., from cloth. The spot first moistened with water is rubbed with the cake, and allowed to dry, when it is well rubbed with a little warm water, and afterward rinsed or rubbed off clean. 2118. To Clean Barometer Tubes. Try a small quantity of warm nitric acid. Then rinse with water, rinse with absolute alcohol, and finally with ether; warm to expel the vapor of ether. 2119. To Cleanse Barrels, Put a few pounds unslaked lime in the bar- rel, add water, and cover. In a short time add more water and roll the barrel. Rinse with clean water. 2120. To Remove Grease from Blackboards. Make a strong lye of pearlashes and soft water, and add as much unslaked lime as it will take up. Stir it together and let it set- tle a few minutes, bottle it and stopper close. Have ready some water to dilute it when used, and scour the part with it. The liquor must not remain long on the board, as it will draw the color with it. Hence use it with care and expedition. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 199 3121. To Cleanse Blankets. A Put two large tablespoonfuls of borax and a pint bowi of soft soap into a tub of cold water. When dissolved put in a pair of blankets, and let them remain over night. Next day rub and drain them out, and rinse thoroughly in two waters, and hang them up to dry. Do not wring them. 2133. To Cleanse Blankets. B Scrape 1 pound of soda soap, and boil it down in sufficient water, so that when cooling you can beat it with the hand to make a sort of jelly. Add 3 tablespoonfuls spirit of tur- pentine and 1 tablespoonfui of spirit of harts- horn, and with this wash the article well and rinse in cold water until all the soap is taken off. Then apply salt and water and fold be- tween two sheets, taking care not to allow two folds of the article washed to lie to- gether. Smooth with a cool iron. Only use the salt where there are delicate colors that may ru.M. If you can get potash soap, it will be better, as woolen manufacturers do not use soda soap. 2123. To Remove Blood Stains. A An accidental prick of the finger fre- quently spoils the appearance of work, and if for sale, decreases its value. Stains may be entirely obliterated from almost any sub- stance by laying a thick coating of common starch over the place. The starch is to be mixed as if for the laundry, and laid on quite wet. 2124. To Remove Blood Stains. B The free and early application of a weak solution of soda or potash, and the subsequent application of the solution of alum, is recom- mended. • 2125. Blood and Albuminoid Matters. Steeping in lukewarm water. If pepsine, or the juice of carica papaya, can be pro- cured, the spots are first softened with luke- warm water, and then either of these sub- stances is applied. 2126. To Clean and Prepare Bones and Ivory. The curators of the anatomical museum of the Jardin des Plantes have found that spirits of turpentine is very efficacious in re- moving the disagreeable odor and fatty eman- ations of bones or ivory, while it leaves them beautifully bleached. The articles should be exposed in the fluid for three or four days in the sun, or a little longer if in the shade. Thev should rest upon strips of zinc, so as to be a fraction of an inch above the bottom of the glass vessel employed. The turpentine acts as an oxidizing agent, and the product of the combustion is an acid liquor which sinks to the bottom, and strongly attacks the ivory if allowed to touch it. 2127. Make a thick paste of common whiting in a saucer. Brush well with a toothbrush into the carved work. Brush well out with plenty of clean *water. Dry gently near the fire. Finish with a clean dry hard brush, adding one or two drops (not more) of alcohol. 2128. Mix about a tablespoonfui of oxalic acid in y 2 pint of boiling water. Wet the ivory over first with water, then with a toothbrush apply the acid, doing one side at a time and rinsing, finally drying it in a cloth before the fire, but not too close. 2129. Take a piece of fresh lime, slake it by sprinkling it with water, then mix into a paste, which apply by means of a soft brush, brushing well into the interstices of the carv- ing; next set by in a warm place till perfectly dry, after which take another soft brush and remove the lime. Should it still remain dis- colored, repeat the process, but be careful to make it neither too wet nor too hot in dry- ing off, or probably the article might come to pieces, being most likely glued or cemented together. If it would stand steeping in lime water for twenty-four hours, and afterward boiling in strong alum water for about an hour and then dried, it would turn out white and clean. Rubbing with oxide of tin (putty powder) and a chamois leather will restore a fine gloss afterward. 2130. Clean well with spirits of wine, then mix some whiting with a little of the spirits, to form a paste, and well brush with it. It is best to use a rubber of soft leather where there are no delicate points; put a little soap on the leather, and dip into the paste and rub the ivory until you get a brilliant polish, finish off with a little dry whiting; the leather should be attached to a flat wood surface and rub briskly. 2131. When ivory ornaments get yellow or dusky looking, wash them well in soap and water, with a small brush to clean the carvings, and place them while wet in full sunshine; wet them two or three times a day for several 200 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. days with soapy water, still keeping them in the sun; then wash them again, and they will be beautifully white. To bleach ivory, immerse it for a short time in water contain- ing a ittle sulphurous acid, chloride of lime or chlorine. 3133. Soda ash 1 pound. Lime (burned) y 2 pound. Hot water 3 quarts. Mix, and soak the bones for twenty-four hours in the liquid; wash them thoroughly and bleach them. 3133. Put the bones in a strong warm alcoholic solution of caustic potash for a short time, then immerse in running water. 3134. To Clean Straw. Wash in warm soap liquor, well brushing them both inside and out, then rinse in cold water, and they are ready for bleaching. 3135. To Bleach Straw. To bleach. — Put a small quantity of salts of sorrel or oxalic acid into a clean pan, and pour on it sufficient scalding water to cover the bonnet or hat. Put the bonnet or hat into this liquor, and let it remain in it for about five minutes; to keep it covered hold it down with a clean stick. Dry in the sun or before a clear tire. Or, having first dried the bonnet or hat, put" it, together with a saucer of burning sulphur, into a box with a tight- closing lid. Cover it over to keep in the fumes, and let it remain for a few hours. The disadvantage of bleaching with sulphur is that the articles so bleached soon become yellow, which does not happen to them when they are bleached by oxalic acid. 3136. To Finish or Stiffen Straw. To Finish or Stiffen. — After cleaning and bleaching, white bonnets should be stiffened with parchment size. Black or colored bon- nets are finished with a size made from the best glue. Straw or chip plaits, or leghorn hats and bonnets, may also be cleaned, bleached and finished as above. 3137. Removal of Stains from and Cleaning Books. Dust can be removed by using bread or very soft rubber. 3138. Water stains are removed by boiling water and alum. It will be necessary to float the sheet on this bath for some hours. Dry be- tween clean blotting paper. The amount of alum is immaterial. 3139. Damp stains are treated the same way, but with less chance of success. 3140. Mud. Mud. — Very little can be done. Wash in cold water, then in dilute hydrochloric acid and afterward in a weak solution of chloride of lime. Rinse and dry. 3141. Fox Marks. Fox Marks. — Use very dilute hydrochloric acid or Javelle water. 3143. Finger Marks. Finger Marks. — Very difficult to erase. Ap- ply a jelly of white or curd soap, then wash with a brush in cold water. 3143. Blood Stains. Blood Stains. — Soak in cold water, wash with soap and rinse. 3144. Writing Ink Stains. Ink stains (of writing ink) usually try oxalic acid followed by chloride of lime. Wash well. 3145. Marking Ink Stains, Etc. Ink Stains (Marking Ink, etc.). — Apply tinc- ture of iodine. The silver in the ink forms silver iodide, which is removed by weak solu- tion of potassium cyanide (deadly poison). 3146. Grease Spots. Grease Spots. — Put over the spot a piece of blotting paper, apply a hot iron. Or, apply Fr. chalk, put a piece of paper over it and apply the iron. Or, try ether or benzine, put blotting paper above and below the spot. 3147. To Clean Ink Bottles. For cleaning ink bottles, the best and quick- est agent is oxalic acid, but it is a violent poison. Try shaking small nails, with water or vinegar in them, and if this does not an- swer, use hydrochloric acid, carefully wash- ing out two or three times after its applica- tion. XOX-SECRET FORMULAS. 201 3148. To Clean Oily or Greasy Bottles. Pour into theni a little strong sulphuric acid; after they have heen allowed to drain as much as possible, the bottle is then corked, and the acid caused to flow into every por- tion of it, for about five minutes. It is then washed with repeated rinsings of cold water. All traces of oil or grease left will be re- moved in a very expeditious manner, and no odor whatever will be left in the bottle after washing. 3149. To Clean Brass. A There are many substances and mixtures which will clean brass. Oxalic acid, muriatic acid, and several other acids will clean brass very effectively; oxalic acid is the best, but the acids must be well washed off, the brass dried, and then rubbed with sweet oil and tripoli, otherwise it will soon tarnish again. Mixture to clean brass is: Soft soap 1 ounce. Rotten stone 2 ounces. 3150. To Clean Brass. B Oxalic acid 1 ounce. Rotten stone 2 ounces. Sweet oil 1% ounces. Spirits of turpentine enough to make a paste. When used, a little water is added and fric- tion applied. If brass is very dirty, it re- quires a strong acid to make it bright; such is chromic acid, best prepared by mixing bi- chromate of potassa, sulphuric acid, and water, equal parts of each. This makes the dirtiest brass bright and clear at once, but it must be immediately washed off with plenty of water, rubbed dry, and polished with rotten stone. There are no patents on any of these proceedings; and if there were, the patentees would not be sustained in their claims. 3151. To Clean Brass. C Wash with rock alum, boiled in a strong lye in the proportion of 1 ounce to 1 pint; j polish with dry tripoli. rubbed with sawdust. This immediately changes them to a brilliant color. If the brass has become greasy, it is first dipped in a strong solution of potash and soda in warm water; this cuts the grease, so that the acid has free power to act. 3153. To Clean Brass. E Rub the surface of the metal with rotten stone and sweet oil, then rub off with a piece of cotton flannel, and polish with soft leather. A solution of oxalic acid rubbed over tar- nished brass soon removes the tarnish, ren- dering the metal bright. The acid must be washed off with water, and the brass rubbed with whjting and soft leather. A mixture of muriatic acid and alum dissolved in water im- parts a golden color to brass articles that are steeped in it for a few seconds. 3154. To Clean Brass. F First boil your articles in a pan with or- dinary washing soda, to remove the old lac- quer; then let them stand for a short time in dead nitric acid; then run them through bright dipping nitric acid. Swill all acid off in clean water, and brighten the relieved parts with a steel burnisher, replace in clean water, and dry out in beech sawdust. Next place your work on the stove till heated, so that you can with difficulty bear your hand on articles, and apply pale lacquer with brush, the work will burn if heated too much or too ranidly. 3155. To Clean Brass. G Put a coat of nitric acid over the part you want cleaned, with a piece of rag; as soon as it turns a light yellow, rub it dry and the brass will present a very clean appearance; if not satisfactory, repeat. 3156. To Clean Brass. H Oxalic acid and whiting mixed and applied wet, with brush, and brushed again when dry with soft plate brush to polish with dry whit- ing. 3453. To Clean Brass. D The government method prescribed for cleaning brass, and in use at all the United States arsenals, is claimed to be the best in the world. The plan is to make a mixture of 1 part common nitric acid and V 2 part sul- phuric acid, in a stone jar, having also ready a pail of fresh water and a box of sawdust. The articles to be treated are dipped into the acid, then removed into the water, and finally 3157. Brass Instruments. A Brass Instruments. — If the instruments are very much oxidized, or covered with green rust, first wash them with strong soda and water. If not so very bad, this first process may be dispensed with. Then apply mixture J of 1 part common sulphuric acid and 12 parts of water, mixed in an earthen vessel, and ' afterward polish with oil and rotten stone, 202 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. well scouring with oil and rotten stone, and using a piece of soft leather and a little dry rotten stone to give a brilliant polish. In future cleaning, oil and rotten stone will be found sufficient. 3158. Brass Instruments. B Take a strip of coarse linen, saturate with oil and powdered rotten stone, put round the tubing of instrument, and work backward and forward; polish with dry rotten stone. Do not use acid of any kind, as it is injurious to the joints. To hold the instrument, get a piece of wood turned to insert in the bells; fix in a bench vise. The piece of wood will also serve for taking out any dents you may get in the bells. 2159. Brass Instruments. C Oil and rotten stone for this purpose, though very efficacious, are objectionable on account of dirt, the oil finding its way to the pistons, and because the instrument cleaned in this manner so soon tarnishes. Dissolve some common soda in warm water, shred into it some scraps of yellow soap, and boil it till the soap is all melted. Then take it from the fire, and when it is cool add a little turpentine and sufficient rotten stone to make a stiff paste. Keep it in a tin box covered from the air, and if it gets hard, moisten a small quantity with water for use. 3160. Brass Instruments. D If very much oxidized or covered with green rust, first wash it with strong soda and water. If not so very bad, this first process may be dispensed with. Then apply a mix- ture of 1 part of common sulphuric acid and 12 parts of water, mixed in an earthen vessel; wash well, first with clear water, and then with water containing some ammonia, after- ward scouring well with oil and rotten stone, and using a piece of soft leather and a little dry rotten stone to give a brilliant polish. In subsequent cleaning oil and rotten stone will be found sufficient. 3161. Brass work that is so dirty by smoke and heat as not to be cleaned with oxalic acid, should be thoroughly washed or scrubbed with soda, or potash water, or lye. Then dip in a mixture of equal parts of nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and water; or, if it cannot be conveniently dipped, make a swab of a small piece of woolen cloth upon the end of a stick, and rub the solution over the dirty or smoky parts; leave the acid on for a minute, and then wash clean and polish. 3163. Paste for Cleaning Brass. Paste for Gleaning Brass. Starch 1 part. Powdered rotten stone ... 12 parts. Sweet oil 2 parts. Oxalic acid 2 parts. Water to mix. 3163. Soft soap 2 ounces. Rotten stone 4 ounces. Beat them to a paste. 3164. Rotten stone made into a paste with sweet oil. 3165. Rotten stone 4 ounces. Oxalic acid 1 ounce. Sweet oil 1% ounces. Turpentine enough to make a paste. 3166. Oxalic acid 1 part. Iron peroxide 15 parts. Powdered rotten stone. ... 20 parts. Palm oil 60 parts. Petrolatum 4 parts. See that solids are thoroughly pulverized and sifted, then add and thoroughly incor- porate oil and petrolatum. 3167. Cleaning Brass Inlaid Work. Mix tripoli and linseed oil, and dip felt into the preparation. With this polish; if the wood be rosewood or ebony, polish it with finely powdered elder ashes, or make a pol- ishing paste of rotten stone, a pinch of starch, sweet oil, and oxalic acid, mixed with water. 3168. To Restore Brass Gas Fixtures. Have the water clean and boiling in two vessels. Dip in one water and then in the next as soon as taken from the nitric acid bath, so that there shall be no traces of acid on the fittings. Dry in box-wood sawdust while hot, and place upon a piece of hot sheet iron over a stove. As soon as all traces of water have left, quickly lacquer with very thin shellac varnish, using a camel's hair brush. You can make the lacquer, by dis- solving shellac in best alcohol. Do not touch the metal with the fingers before lacquering. 3169. To Clean Brass Gun Shells For such as have been used, boil in a strong solution of caustic soda, rinse in hot water, then dip in a hot pickle of sulphuric acid, 1 part; water, 4 parts; and ricse in hot water. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 203 2170. To Clean Britannia Metal. Use finely powdered whiting, 2 tablespoon- fuls of sweet oil and a little yellow soap. Mix with spirits of wine to a cream. Rub on with a sponge, wipe off with a soft cloth, and polish with a chamois skin. 2171. To Remove Stains from Broadcloth. Grind fine 1% ounces pipe clay; mix with 18 drops of alcohol and the same quantity spirits of turpentine. Moisten a little of this mix- ture with alcohol and rub on the stains. When dry, rub off with a woolen cloth. 3172. To Cleanse Bronze. Clean the surface, first of all, with whiting and water, or crocus powder, until it is pol- ished; then cover with a paste of plumbago and crocus, mixed in the proportions that will produce the desired color. Heat the paste over a small charcoal fire. Perhaps the bronzing has been produced by a corrosive process; if so, try painting a solution of sul- phide of potassium over the cleaned metal. 2J 73. To Clean Bronze Statuary. Use weak soap-suds or aqua ammonia. 2174. To Wash Brushes. Dissolve a piece of soda in some hot water, allowing a piece the size of a walnut to a quart of water. Put the water into a basin, and after combing out the hair from the brushes, dip them, bristles downward, into the water and out again, keeping the backs and handles as free from the water as possi- ble. Repeat this until the bristles look clean; then rinse the brushes in a little cold water; shake them well, and wipe the handles and backs with a towel, but not the bristles, and set the brushes to dry in the sun, or near the fire; but take care not to put them too close to it. Wiping the bristles of a brush makes them soft, as does also the use of soap. 2175. To Clean Calico and Linen. When linen or calico is discolored by wash- ing, age, or lying out of use, the best method of restoring the whiteness is by bleaching in the open air, and exposure on the grass to the dews and winds. There may occur cases, however, where this may be difficult to ac- complish, and where a quicker process may be desirable, and the following is the best: Lay the linen for twelve hours in a lye formed of 1 pound soda to a gallon of boiling hot soft water; then boil it for half an hour in the same liquid. Then make a mixture of chloride of lime with 8 times its quantity of water, which must be well shaken in a stone jar for three days, then allowed to settle, and being drawn off clear, the linen must be steeped in it thirty-six hours, and then washed out in the ordinary way. This will remove all discoloration. 2176. To Renovate Cane seated Chairs. Clean the articles with a solution of oxalic acid. Their color will be restored. 2177. Wash with hot water and a sponge, using soap if necessary. Dry in a current of air. 2178. To Renovate Canvas. Coat it with a black leather varnish, such as the following: Digest shellac 12 parts. White turpentine . . . . 5 parts. Gum sandarac 2 parts. Lampblack 1 part. Spirits of turpentine 4 parts. Alcohol 96 parts. 2179. To Clean Carpets. If brooms are wet with boiling suds once a week, they will become very tough, will not cut a carpet, and will last much longer. A handful or so of salt sprinkled on a carpet will carry the dust along with it and make the carpet look bright and clean. A very dusty carpet may be cleaned by dipping the broom in cold water, shaking off all the drops, and sweeping a yard or so at a time. Wash the broom and repeat until the entire carpet has been swept. 2180. Use 1 pint oxgall to a pailful of water; after washing apply cold water to rinse out the oxgall, and finally sponge as dry as possi- ble. 2181. Dry Cleaning. Dry Cleaning. — Have ready a number of dry coarse cotton or linen cloths, some coarse flannels and one or more large pieces of coarse sponge; two or more hard scrubbing or scouring brushes, some large tubs or pans, and pails, and also a plentiful supply of both hot and cold water. First take out all grease spots; this may be effected in several ways. Well rub the spot with a piece of hard soap and wash out with a brush and cold water, and well dry each spot before leaving it. 204 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2183. Or use, instead of the soap, a mixture of fuller's earth, gall and water, well rinsing and drying each spot as before. When this has been done, the carpet may be cleaned by one of the three following methods: 2183. How to Sweep Carpet. It is not an easy matter to sweep well, at any rate, if we may judge by experience; for when a broom is put into the hands of the uninitiated, more harm than good generally results from the use of it. Without the greatest care and some little knowledge, furniture and paint, by being knocked about with the broom, may soon receive an irrepara- ble amount of damage. Before sweeping rooms, the floors should be strewed with a good amount of dry tea leaves, which should be saved for the purpose; these will attract the dust and save much harm to other furni- ture, which as far as possible, should be cov- ered up during the process. Tea leaves also may be used with advantage upon druggets and short piled carpets. Light sweeping and soft brooms are here desirable. Many a car- pet is prematurely worn out by injudicious sweeping. Stiff carpet brooms and the stout arms of inexperienced servants are their de- struction. In sweeping thick piled carpets, such as Axminster and Turkey carpets, the servant should be instructed to brush always the way of the pile; by so doing they may be kept clean for years; but if the broom is used in a different way, all the dust will enter the carpet and soon spoil it. Salt sprinkled upon the carpet before sweeping will make it look bright and clean. This is also a good pre- ventive against moths. 2184. To Remove Grape Stains from Carpet. Wash out with warm soap-suds and a little ammonia water. 2185. To Preserve Carriages. Ammonia cracks varnish and fades the colors both of painting and lining. A carriage should never, under any circumstances, be put away dirty. In washing a carriage, keep out of the sun, and have the lever end of the "setts" covered with leather. Use plenty of water, which apply (where practicable) with a hose or syringe, taking care that the water is not driven into the body to the injury of the lining. When forced water is not attain- able, use for the body a large soft sponge. This, when saturated, squeeze over the panels, and by the flow down of the water the dirt will soften and harmlessly run off, then finish with a soft chamois leather and oil silk handkerchief. The same remarks apply to the under works and wheels, except that when the mud is well soaked, a soft mop, free from any hard substance in the head, may be used. Never use a "spoke brush," which, in conjunction with the grit from the road, acts like sandpaper on the varnish, scratching it, and of course effectually removing all gloss. Never allow water to dry itself on the car- riage, as it invariably leaves stains. Be care- ful to grease the bearings of the fore car- riage so as to allow it to turn freely. Examine a carriage occasionally, and whenever a bolt or slip appears to be getting loose, tighten it up with a wrench, and always have little repairs done at once. Top carriages should never stand with the head down, and aprons of every kind should be frequently unfolded or they will soon spoil. 3186. To "Whiten Celluloid Collars and Cuffs. If the coloring does not disappear when the affected portions are rubbed with a woolen cloth and a little tripoli, and then polished with a clean woolen rag, the injury is a permanent one. Cream of tartar is excellent. Use with a little water. 3187. To Clean Celluloid Covered Mountings. Rub the covered parts with a woolen cloth and a little tripoli, and polish with a clean woolen rag. 3188. To Clean China. Use a little fuller's earth and soda or pearlash with your water. 3189. To Clean Chromos. Keep a wet towel lying on its face till the dirt is thoroughly softened, say 3 or 4 days, occasionally rubbing off carefully with a sponge; then rub with clear nut or linseed oil. 2190. To Clean Clocks and Watches. In cleaning clock and watch movements take 1 quart water, about 1 teaspoonful or 5 grains liquid ammonia or alkali; into this liquid should be grated or scraped fine 5 grains common soap. These proportions can be varied as desired, if the following remarks are kept in view: The articles to be cleaned should be plunged into this bath, where they should be allowed to remain at least ten minutes. Twenty or thirty minutes is better, NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 205 especially for clocks. The articles should be wiped dry when removed from the bath, or polished up with a brush dipped in some pol- ishing powder. Rectified benzine is prefer- able, as ammonia is apt to turn the movement black if in excess. Use great care in using benzine, as it is very inflammable and never should be used at night. 3191. To Clean Black Cloth. Dissolve Bicarbonate of ammonia. .. 1 ounce. Warm water 1 quart. With this liquid rub the cloth, using a piece of flannel or black cloth for the purpose. After the application of this solution, clean the cloth well with, clear water, dry and iron it, brushing the cloth from time to time in the direction of the fiber. 3192. Cloth Cleaning Compound. Glycerine 1 ounce. Sulphuric ether 1 ounce. Alcohol 1 ounce. Ammonia 4 ounces. Castile soap 1 ounce. Mix together and add sufficient water to make 2 quarts. Apply and rinse. 3193. To Brush Clothes. Brushing clothes is a very simple but very necessary operation. Fine clothes require to be brushed lightly, and with rather a soft brash, except where mud is to be removed, when a hard one is necessary, being pre- viously beaten lightly to dislodge the dirt. Lay the garment on a table, and brush it in the direction of the nap. Having brushed it properly, turn the sleeves back to the collar, so that the folds may come at the elbow joints; next turn the lapels or sides back over the folded sleeves, then lay the skirts over level with the collar, so that the crease may fall about the center, and double one-half over the other, so that the fold comes in the center of the back. , 2194. To Clean Coins, Medals, Etc. If the coins are silver, clean with potassium cyanide. This is a deadly poison, and should be handled with care. 3195. Dip in strong hot solution of potash or soda, rinse and dip for a moment in nitric acid, after which rinse quickly in running water. 3196. Coins can be quickly cleansed by immersion in strong nitric acid, and immediate washing in water. If very dirty, or corroded with verdigris, it is better to give them a rubbing with the following: Pure bichromate of potash. % ounce. Sulphuric acid 1 ounce. Nitric acid 1 ounce. Bub over, wash with water, wipe dry, and polish with rotten stone or chalk. — Lyle. 3197. To Restore Color. When color on a fabric has been accident- ally or otherwise destroyed by acid ammonia is applied to neutralize the same, after which an application of chloroform will, in almost all cases, restore the original color. The ap- plication of ammonia is common, but that of chloroform is but little known. 3198. To Revive the Color of Faded Black Cloth or Leather. Take of the best quality of Blue galls 4 ounces. Logwood 1 ounce. Clean sulp. iron (copperas) 1 ounce. Clean iron filings 1 ounce. Sumac leaves 1 ounce. Put the galls, logwood and sumac berries into 1 quart of the best white wine vinegar and heat to nearly the boiling point in a sand bath, then add the iron filings and copperas; digest for twenty-four hours and strain for use. Apply with a sponge. 3199. To Clean Combs. If it can be avoided, never wash combs, as the water often makes the teeth split and the tortoiseshell or horn of which they are made rough. Small brushes, manufactured pur- posely for cleaning combs, may be purchased at a trifling cost; with this the comb should be well brushed, and afterward wiped with a cloth or towel. 3300. To Clean Copper. Take Oxalic acid 1 ounce. Rotten stone 6 ounces. Gum arabic % ounce. All in powder. Sweet oil 1 ounce. And sufficient of water to make a paste. Apply a small portion, and rub dry with a flannel or leather. 206 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2301. Use soft soap and rotten stone, made into a stiff paste with water, and dissolved by gently- simmering in a water bath. Rub on with a woolen rag, and polish with dry whiting and rotten stone. Finish with a. leather and dry whiting. 2303. Copper plates are cleaned by laying them on the hob near the fire, and ponring on them some turpentine, and then rubbing them with a small soft brush. 3303. To Clean and Bleach Coral. The secret in cleaning coral is to turn the mass bottom upward and suspend it by means of a piece of wire in the saucepan, so that the dirt, as it boils off, may drop into the water, instead of down the septa. A strong solution of ordinary washing soda, or better, oxalic acid, is to be used to boil it in. The mass is to be boiled at least three hours. This is not only to clean the coral, but to bleach it also. 3304. Apply a mixture of hydrochloric acid and water, or wash the coral with a stiff brush in cold salt and water, with a little soap powder, a little chloride of lime will improve it, then put in the sun to dry and bleach. 3305. To Restore Crape. Skimmed milk and water, with a little bit of glue in it, made scalding hot, is excellent to restore rusty Italian crape. If clapped and pulled dry like muslin, it will look as good as new; or, brush the veil till all the dust is removed, then fold it lengthwise, and roll it smoothly and tightly on a roller. Steam it till it is thoroughly dampened, and dry on the roller. 3306. To Clean Crape. Crape is cleansed by rinsing it in oxgall and water to remove the dirt, afterward in pure water to remove the gall, and lastly in a little gum water to stiffen and crisp it. It is then clapped between the hands until dry. 3307. To Wash Curtains. Shake every curtain, or hang them on a line and brush them down with a soft haired brush. Prepare a soaking liquid by melting a small quantity of borax in warm water, soak for an hour or two, then squeeze be- tween the hands to remove the superfluous I water. Take some good soap and chip it in hot water, stir until all the soap is melted, and a fine lather produced. By this time the water will be moderately warm. Immerse the curtains in this, pass them repeatedly through the lathered water, or work them up and down. Rubbing should be avoided; when absolutely necessary, do it gently and without a brush. Squeeze out the soapy water, and rinse in plenty of soft warm water. Wring carefully. Curtains should be dried quickly. If in the country, they may be spread to dry on clean grass. Otherwise cur- tains are always better for being stretched and pinned to wooden frames while drying. It is advisable to use cooked starch for cur- tains. Use good starch, mix it thoroughly in warm water, which should be made to boil for fifteen or twenty minutes. While cooling add a very little indigo blue. This is only to be used for pure white curtains. The starch should be decidedly thick. Draw the curtains through the starch, squeeze out gently, and dry rapidly. 3308. Coloring Curtains. Many persons prefer tinted curtains to pure white ones. If they have to be colored, do not put any blue in the starch, but use water that has been slightly tinted with coffee (for ecru curtains), tea for a more decided hue, or saffron (for yellow tint) for preparing the starch. A decoction of logwood may be used if you wish to give the curtains a delicate pink hue. 3309. How to Prepare Special Coloring Starches for Curtains. The basis of these coloring starches is thus prepared: Soak 1 pound of good white glue for twelve hours, using just enough water to make it into a jelly; dissolve this with boiling water adding about 18 to 19 pounds of Paris white; add more water until the compound is diluted to the consistency of milk. This starch may be colored to taste. A little Prussian blue and vermilion (in the proportions of 2 to 1) gives a fine lilac. Raw umber and a pinch of lamp-black gives a gray. Vermillion and red lead (in the proportion of 3 to 1) produce a tender rose. Indigo blue just tinted with ver- milion gives a lavender. Chrome yellow and a pinch of Spanish brown gives lemon yellow. Indian yellow and burnt sienna (in the pro- portion of 2 to 1) gives a buff hue. Experi- ments should be tried, as some of the colors look very badly if they are dark. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 207 2310. To Clean Diamonds. Clean all diamonds and precious stones by washing them with soap and water with a soft brush, adding a little ammonia in the water, and then dry in fine boxwood sawdust. A little potash or pearlash put in the water will answer the same purpose. 2311. To Clean Drawing Instruments. If the lacquering is badly spotted, clean it off with strong alcohol, and then polish the brass or German silver with the following paste by means of flannel and a little water, and polish off with clean chamois leather or cotton cloth and a little whiting, after which you might re-varnish with shellac dissolved in alcohol, colored with a little dragon's blood, which can be got from any apothecary: Soft soap 3 ounces. Sweet oil % ounce. Turpentine % ounce. Powdered rotten stone 4 ounces. Finest flour emery 1 ounce. Fine powd. crocus of anti- mony % ounce. Melt the soap, oil and turpentine together, add the powders, a little water to make a stiff paste and mix well. 3313. To Clean Engravings. Presuming these to be mounted, proceed in the following manner: Cut a stale loaf in half, with a perfectly clean knife; pare the crust away from the edges. Place the engrav- ings on a flat table, and rubbing the surface with the fresh cut bread, in circular sweeps, lightly but firmly performed, will remove all superficial markings. Soak the prints for a short time in a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid, say 1 part acid to 100 of water, and then remove them into a vessel containing a suffic- ient quantity of clear chloride of lime water to cover them. Leave them here until bleached to the desired point. Remove, rinse well by allowing to stand an hour in a pan in which a constant stream of water is allowed to flow, and finally dry off by spreading on clean cloths. Perhaps they may require iron- ing between two sheets of clean paper. 3313. Put the engraving on a smooth board, cover it thinly with common salt finely powdered; squeeze lemon juice upon the salt so as to dissolve a considerable proportion of it; ele- vate one end of the board, so that it may form an angle of about 45° or 50° with the horizon. Pour on the engraving boiling water from a tea kettle until the salt and lemon juice be all washed off: the engraving will then be per- fectly clean, and free from stains. It must be dried on the board, or on some smooth surface, graaually. If dried by the fire or the sun, it will be tinged with a yellow color. 3314. Hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid, or eau de Ja- velle may be employed, weakened by water. After the lesves (if it be a book) have by this means been whitened, they must be bathed again in a solution of sulphate of soda, which will remove all the chlorine, and leave the leaves white and clean. They will, however, have lost all firmness of texture, owing to the removal of the size from the paper. It will, therefore, be advisable to give a bath of gela- tine and alum made with boiling water, to which may be added a little tobacco, or any other simple substance to restore the tint of of the now too white paper. 3315. Immerse each mildewed sheet separately in a solution made in the proportions of one-half pound chloride of lime to 1 pint of water. Let it stand, with frequent stirring, for 24 hours, and then strain through muslin, and finally add 1 quart water. Mildew and other stains will be found to disappear very quickly, and the sheets must then be passed sepa- rately through clear water, or the chloride of lime, if left in the paper, will cause it to rot. Old prints, engravings, and every description of printed matter may be successfully treated in the same manner. 3316. "I have in my time cleaned many hundreds. The plan which I adopt is as follows: I place them, one or two at a time, in a shallow dish, and pour water over them until they are completely soaked or saturated with it. I then carefully pour off the water, and pour on to the prints a solution of chloride of lime (1 part liquor calcis chloratae to 39 parts of water). As a general rule, the stains dis- appear as if by magic, but occasionally they are obstinate. When that is the case, I pour on the spot pure liquor calcis chlorate, and if that does not succeed, I add a little dilute ni- tro-muriatic acid. I have never had a print which has not succumbed to this treatment — in fact, as a rule, they become too white. As soon as they are clean they must be carefully washed with successive portions of water un- til the whole of the chlorine is got rid of. They should then be placed in a very weak solution of isinglass or glue, and many col- lectors color this solution with coffee grounds, etc., to give a yellow tint to the print. They 208 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. should be dried between folds of blotting paper, either in a press or under a heavy book, and finally ironed with an ordinary flat iron to restore the gloss, placing clean paper be- tween the iron and the print. Grease stains are much more difficult. I find benzine best. Small grease spots may be removed by powd- ered French chalk being placed over them, a piece of clean blotting paper over the chalk, and a hot iron over that." — F. Andrews. 2217. Mildew often arises from the paste used to attach the print. Take a solution of alum of medium strength and brush on back and face of the engraving 2 or 3 coats, then make the frame air-tight by pasting a strip of paper all round the inside of glass, leaving about one- half inch overlapping (taking care not to paste the paper on the glass so as to be seen from the front), then place your glass in frame, take the overlapping piece and paste to side of rabbet; place your picture in posi- tion, spring back board in, and then place a sheet of strong paper (brown) on the table, damp it, and paste round back of frame, lay it on to the paper, leave to dry, cut level. If this does not answer, there will be no help for it, but dust off as the mould accumulates. Do not brush on surface with the alum if the engraving is colored, but several coats on the back. 2218. It has been found that ozone bleaches paper perfectly without injuring the fibre in the least. It can be used for removing mil- dew and other stains from engravings that have been injured by hanging on the walls of damp rooms. The engraving should be carefully moistened and suspended in a large vessel partially filled with ozone. The ozone may be generated by putting pieces of clean phosphorus in the bottom of the vessel par- tially covered with water; or by passing elec- tric sparks through the air in the vessel. 2219. If the engravings are very dirty, take two parts of common salt and one part common soda, and pound them together until very fine. Lay the engraving on a board, and fasten it with drawing pins, and then spread the mix- ture dry equally over the surface to be cleaned. Moisten the whole with warm water and a little lemon juice, and, after it has remained about a minute, or even less, tilt the board up on its end, and pour over it a kettleful of boiling water, being careful to remove all the mixture, and avoid rubbing. If the engraving is not very dirty, the less soda used the better, as it has a tendency to give the engraving a yellow hue. 2220. To Cleanse Emery after using. Boil with caustic potash, stirring con- stantly, then wash with acid, dilute and dry. 2221. To Remove Grease froin Emery Wheels. Wash with bisulphide of carbon. 2222. Lightning Eradicator. Strong ammonia water, 4 ounces; water, 2 quarts; saltpeter, 1 ounce; mottled soap, 2 ounces ; the soap must be finely shaved. Mix thoroughly and allow the preparation to stand for several days before using. Cover any grease spot with this preparation, rub well and rinse with clean water. 2223. To Clean Feathers. To clean feathers from their own animal oil, steep them in 1 gallon of water mixed with 1 pound of lime; stir them well, and then pour off the water, and rinse the feathers in cold spring water. To clean feathers from dirt, simply wash them in hot water with soap. Rinse them in hot water. 2224. To Clean White Ostrich Feathers. — 4 ounces white curd soap cut small, dissolved in 4 pints water, rather hot, in a basin. Make the solution into a lather by beating it with birch rods or wires. Introduce the feathers and rub well with the hands for five or six min- utes. After the soaping, wash in clean water as hot as the hand can bear. Shake until dry. 2225. Slightly soften the soiled feathers with warm water, using a camel's hair brush. Next raise each feather with a flat piece of wood or paper knife, and clean them with spirits of wine. Dry with plaster of Paris, and afterward brush them carefully with a dry camel's hair brush. 2226. Make a strong solution of salt in water, sat- urate a large and thick cloth with it. Wrap the bird up in the damp cloth in as many folds as you can, not disarranging the plum- age. Look at the bird in six hours, and if not long dried on the blood will be soft; if not soft, keep it in the cloth longer, and rewet it. When soft, rub out with gentle pressure, putting something hard under each feather with blood on, and rubbing with the back of a knife. Of course each feather must be done separately. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 209 2221. Col. Wragge treated the soiled plumage of albatrosses, Cape petrel, etc., by simply wash- ing the feathers in rain water, after the pro- cess Of skinning, and then laying a thick mix- ture of starch and water over the portion to be cleansed. Next he laid the birds aside, and left them till the plastering of starch had be- come thoroughly dry. He then removed the dry plaster by tapping it, and found that the feathers had become much cleaner. Old speci- mens may be cleaned in this way. Feathers may be set by just arranging them naturally with a needle or any pointed instrument. 3228. White. — Dissolve 4 ounces of white soap in 2 quarts of boiling water, put it into a large basin or small pan, and beat to a strong lather with a wire egg beater or a small bundle of birch twigs; use while warm. Hold the feather by the quill with the left hand, dip it into the soap liquor and squeeze it through the right hand, using a moderate de- gree of pressure. Continue this operation until the feather is perfectly clean and white, using a second lot of soap liquor if necessary. Rinse in clean hot water to take out the soap, and afterward in cold water in which a small quantity of blue has been dissolved. Shake well, and dry before a moderate fire, shaking it occasionally, that it may look full and soft when dried. Before it is quite dry, curl each fibre separately with a blunt knife or ivory paper folder. 2229. To Purify Feathers for Beds, Pillows, Etc. Prepare a quantity of lime water in the fol- lowing manner: Well mix 1 pound of quick- lime in each gallon of water required, and let it stand until all the undissolved lime is pre- cipitated, as a fine powder, to the bottom of the tub or pan, then pour off the clear liquor for use. The number of gallons to be pre- pared will, of course, depend on the quantity of feathers to be cleaned. Put the feathers into a clean tub, pour the lime water on them, and well 'stir them in it until they all sink to the bottom. There should then be sufficient of the lime water to cover them to a depth of 3 inches. Let them stand in this for three or four days, then take them out, drain them in a sieve, and afterward well wash and rinse them in clear water. Dry on nets having a mesh about the same size as a cabbage net; shake the net occasionally, and the dry feathers will fall through. When they are dried, beat them well to get rid of the dust. It will take about three weeks to clean and dry a sufficient quan- tity for a bed. This process was awarded the prize offered by the Society of Arts. 14 2230. To Render Feathers While and to Remove the Gray Color. Feathers must be cleansed by immersing for a short time in naphtha or benzine. Rinse in a second dish of the same and dry in the air. Then bleach by exposing in a box to the vapor of burning sulphur in a moist at- mosphere. 2231. To Wash Flannels. Shave a little white soap into a pail, and pour on it water nearly boiling hot to dis- solve it, adding, if you choose, a tablespoonful of spirits of ammonia. Pour the hot suds upon the flannels in a tub, and use a good pounder or a machine, as the water needs to be of too high a temperature for the hands. Wring the flannels, and put them into a second water, like the first, except with less soap, and use again the pounder or machine. Rub the soiled spots in the suds as hot as you can bear, but never rub soap on the spots. Wring the flannels as dry as you can with a good wringer, and put them on a line in a brisk, drying air. The hotter they are when wrung and the sooner they dry the better. Their color may be improved by a little bluing; and if they are well ironed before getting quite dry, fulling is prevented. 2232. Flannel Shrinking. All flannel ought properly to be shrunk be- fore it is cut out and made up into garments. The process is quite simple. Soak the flannel for a few minutes in warm water, then rub some good laundry soap over every inch of it, dip it in the water and knead it, or shake it up and down; do not scrub. After the wash- ing, let the flannel be thoroughly rinsed in warm water. It must be remembered that boiling or hot water should never touch flan- nel. Wring carefully and dry slowly. On no account allow flannel to be dried in an over- heated drying closet or before a fire. 2233. Flannel Washing. To wash flannel or flannel garments, pre- pare a good lather in hot water; when just warm throw in your flannel and work it up and down, backward and forward. Scrubbing must be avoided, and no soap should be ac- tually rubbed on it, as this will induce further shrinkage. Rinse in warm water, twice if necessary. Never wash or rinse in hot or cold water, as they both cause the flannel to shrink suddenly. 210 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2234. To Wash Flannel Blankets. Put the soiled blankets to soak for fifteen minutes in plain soft warm water. Prepare a soft jelly with first-class laundry soap and boiling water, 1 pound of soap for every blanket. Pour this into a tub of warm water, let it melt and lather it up well with the hand. Wring the blankets from the soaking tub, and throw them into the lather; stir them about and leave to soak ten minutes, then hand rub every inch of the blankets, paying especial attention to stains. Take them out and wring, then rinse in warm water twice. Dry well, but do not expose them to great heat. When dry stretch them in every direction, and rub all over with a piece of clean rough flannel. This makes them fluffy and soft. If very dirty, a little borax may be added to the water, but no soda or bleaching powder should ever be used. 2235. To Iron Flannels. Most flannels are the better for not being ironed, but in some cases it is necessary to do so. The proper way is to dry the flannels, then spread them on an ironing board, cover them with a slightly damp cloth, and iron over this, pressing down heavily. The iron must not be too hot. 2236. Fleckenwasser. Bronner. Cleansing fluid (literally spot or stain water) for the removal of grease and dirt spots. Benzine only. 2237. Englisches Fleckenwasser. English cleansing fluid for removing acid, resin, wax, tar, and grease spots. A mixture of 95 per cent alcohol, 100 grammes; liq. am- nion, sp. gr. 875, 30 grammes; benzine, 4 grammes. — Artus. 2238. To Scour Floors. Clean sand, 12 parts; soft soap, 8 parts; lime, 4 parts. Use a scrubbing brush and rinse. 2239. To Remove Fly Specks from Brass, Etc. If you cannot wash off the fly specks with soap and warm water on a cloth, there is no way that an amateur can refinish lampwork with any satisfaction. To do this the lamp must be taken apart and the brasswork boiled in caustic soda to remove all oil and varnish; then rinse in hot water and dip in strong ni- tric acid for a few seconds only, when it will come out clean and bright; then rinse clean in boiling water. Dry in sawdust, brush off, and lacquer with thin shellac varnish. The metal must be warm and perfectly free from grease. 2240. To Remove Fly Specks from Bronze. Lavender oil, 1 dram; alcohol, 1 ounce; water 1% ounces. Use a soft sponge and pro- ceed quickly with little rubbing. 2241. To Remove Fly Specks from Gilding. Old ale is a good thing to wash any gild- ing with, as it acts at once on the fly dirt. Apply it with a soft rag. 2242. To Renovate Frames. You may improve them by simply washing them with a small sponge moistened with spirits of wine or oil of turpentine, the sponge only to be suflieiently wet to take off the dirt and fly marks. They should not be wiped afterwards, but left to dry of themselves. 2243. Fruit and "Wine Stains. White cotton or linen, fumes of burning sulphur, warm chlorine water. Colored cot- tons or woolens, wash with tepid soapsuds of ammonia. Silks the same, with very gentle rubbing. 2244. First rub the spot on each side with hard soap and then lay on a thick mixture of starch and cold water. Rub this mixture of starch well into the spot, and afterward ex- pose it to the sun and air. If the stain has not disappeared at the end of three or four days, repeat the process. 2245. Stains of wine may be quickly and easily removed from linen, by dipping the parts which are stained into boiling milk. The milk to be kept boiling until the stain disappears. «246. Most fruits yield juices which, owing to the acid they contain, permanently injure the tone of the dye; but the greater part may be re- moved without leaving a stain, if the spot be rinsed in cold water in which a few drops of aqua ammonia have been placed before the spot has dried. Wine stains on white materials may be removed by rinsing with cold water, applying locally weak solution chloride of lime, and again rinsing in an abundance of NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 211 water. Some fruit stains yield only to soap- ing with the hand, followed by fumigation with sulphurous acid; but the latter process is inadmissible with certain colored stuffs. If delicate colors are injured by soapy or alka- line matters, the stains must be treated with colorless vinegar of moderate strength. 2247. To remove fruit and wine stains from table linen moisten with dilute sulphuric acid and then rub with aqueous solution of sulphite or hyposulphite of soda in water. 2248. Spread the stained part over a bowl or ba- sin, and pour boiling water through it; or rub on salts of lemon and pour boiling water through until the stain disappears or becomes very faint. 2249. How to Improve the Appearance of Furniture. Mr. G. J. Henkels, of Philadelphia, Pa., sug- gests that when the polish on new furniture becomes dull it can be renewed by the follow- ing process: Take a soft sponge, wet with clean cold water, and wash over the article. Then take a soft chamois skin and wipe it clean. Dry the skin as well as you can by wringing it in the hands, and wipe the water off the furniture, being careful to wipe only one way. Never use a dry chamois on varn- ished work. If the varnish is defaced and shows white marks, take linseed oil and tur- pentine in equal parts; shake them well in a phial and apply a very small quantity on a soft rag until the color is restored; then with a clean soft rag wipe the mixture entirely off. In deeply carved work the dust cannot be re- moved with a sponge. Use a stiff haired paint brush instead of a sponge. The cause of varn- ished furniture becoming dull, and the rea- son why oil and turpentine restore its former polish, it will be appropriate to explain. The humidity of the atmosphere and the action of gas cause a bluish white coating to collect on I all furniture, and show conspicuously on bright polished surfaces, such as mirrors, pianos, cabinet ware, and polished metal. It is easily removed as previously directed. The white scratches on furniture are caused by bruising the gum of which varnish is made. ! Copal varnish is composed of gum copal, lin- seed oil, and turpentine or benzine. Copal is not soluble in alcohol, as other gums are, but is dissolved by heat. It is the foundation of varnish, as the oil is used only to make the gum tough, and the turpentine is required only to hold the other parts in a liquid state, and it evaporates immediately after its application to furniture. The gum then becomes hard and admits of a fine polish. Thus, when the varnish is bruised, it is the gum that turns white, and the color is restored by applying the oil and turpentine. If the mixture is left on the furniture, it will amalgamate with the varnish and become tough. Therefore the necessity of wiping it entirely off at once. To varnish old furniture, it should be rubbed with pulverized pumice stone and water to take off the old surface, and then varnish with varnish reduced, by adding turpentine, to the consist- ency of cream. Apply with a stiff haired brush. If it does not look well, repeat the rubbing with pumice stone, and when dry, varnish it again. For a crack, a worm eaten hole, or a deep flaw, prepare the proper dust, by the admix- ture of brick dust in flour (also kept ready), or whiting or ocher, or any required tint. Then take well-cooked glue, and on a house plate stir it in slowly while hot, with suffic- ient powder for your work. Dab the hole or crack with your glue brush, then with a putty knife stir about the mixture on the plate, taking care you have the right color. When sure on this point, take some of the cement on the end of the knife and insert it in the desired place. Then use as much pres- sure as you possibly can with the blade, and keep smoothing at it. Sprinkle a little of the dry powder on the spot. When thorougnly dry, sand paper the surface with an old used piece, so as not to abrade the joint. You can then varnish the mending. Where weevil and wood worms have devoured the furniture, cautiously cut out the part till a sound place be reached. Poison the wood with a solution of sulphate of copper injected into the hollow. Let it dry. Cut an angular piece of same wood from your board, and with a sharp chisel make a suitable aperture for its reception. Fix it with glue. When thoroughly dry, work with carving tools or rasp and glass, scraping till the new bit of work exactly matches the old. 2250. Polish for Removing Stains from Furniture. One pint of 98 per cent alcohol, ground resin one-half ounce, gum shellac V/2 ounces. After the resin and shellac cut in the alcohol, mix in 1 pint of linseed oil, and give the whole a good shaking. Apply with a cloth or news- paper and polish with a flannel after applying the solution. 2251. To Clean Dark Furs. Sable, chinchilla, squirrel, fitch, etc. Heat a quantity of new bran in a pan, taking care that it does not burn, stir constantly. When 212 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. well heated rub thoroughly into the fur. Re- peat two or three times. Shake the fur and brush briskly until free from dust. 2352. To Clean Light Furs. White furs, ermine, etc., may be cleaned in the following way: Lay the fur on a table and rub with bran, moistened with warm water. Rub until dry, then rub with dry bran. Use flannel for rubbing with the wet bran and book muslin for the dry. After using the bran, rub with magnesia. Dry flour may be used instead of wet bran. Rub against the way of the fur. 2253. To Clean Gilt Picture Frames. Fly marks can be cleaned off with soap and water used sparingly on end of finger covered by piece of rag. When all cleared off, rinse with cold water, and dry with chamois leather; next buy a pound of common size and two penny paint pans. Boil a little of the size in one of the pans with as much water as will just cover it. When boiled, strain through muslin into clean pan, and apply thinly to frames with camel hair brush (called technically a "dabber"). Take care you do not gives the frames too much water and "el- bow grease." On no account use gold size, as it is used only in regilding, and if put on over the gold would make it dull and sticky. 2354. Dissolve a very small quantity of salts of tartar in a wine bottle of water, and with a piece of cotton wool soaked in the liquid dab the frames very gently, no rubbing on any ac- count or you will take off the gilt, then stand up the frames so that water will drain away from them conveniently, and syringe them with clean water. Care must be taken that the solution is not too strong. 2255. If new gold frames are varnished with the best copal varnish it improves their appear- ance considerably, and fly marks can then be washed off carefully with a sponge. The frames also last many times longer. It also improves old frames to varnish them with it. 2256. Gilt frames may be cleaned by simply wash- ing them with a small sponge, moistened with hot spirits of wine or oil of turpentine, the sponge only to be sufficiently wet to take off the dirt and fly marks. They should not afterward be wiped, but left to dry of them- selves. 2257. Old ale is a good thing to wash any gild- ing with, as it acts at once upon the fly dirt. Apply it with a soft rag; but for the ins and outs of carved work, a brush is necessary; wipe it nearly dry, and don't apply any water. Thus will you leave a thin coat of the glutin- ous isinglass of the finings on the face of the work, which will prevent the following flies' faeces from fastening to the frame, as they otherwise would do. 2258. To Clean Gilt Mountings. Gilt mountings, unless carefully cleaned, soon lose their luster. They should not be rubbed, if slightly tarnished, wipe them off with a piece of Canton flannel, or what is better, remove them if possible, and wash in a solution of one-half ounce of borax dissolved in 1 pound of water, and dry them with a soft linen rag; their luster may be improved by heating them a little and rubbing with a piece of Canton flannel. 2259. Glass Cleaning Preparation. Photographers will find the following a use- ful glass-cleaning preparation: Water, 1 pint; sulphuric acid, one-half ounce; bichro- mate of potash, one-half ounce. The glass plates, varnished or otherwise, are left for 10 or 12 hours, or as much longer as desired, in this solution, then rinsed in clean water and wiped dry with soft white paper. The liquid quickly removes silver stains from the skin without any of the attendant dangers of cyanide of potassium. 2260. To Clean Glass. To clean glass in frames, when the latter are covered or otherwise so finished that water cannot be used, moisten tripoli with brandy, rub it on the glass while moist, and when dry rub off with a silk rag; to prevent the mixture injuring the cloth on the frame, use strips of tin bent to an angle, set these on the frame with one edge on the glass; when the frames are of a character that will not be injured by water, rub the glass with water containing a little liquid ammonia and polish with moist paper. 2261. Glass Bottles. — If vessels are oily or other- wise greasy, they should not be washed with water, but wiped with dry tow, or a dry dirty cloth, so as to remove as much grease as pos- sible. By changing the cloth for one that is clean, the vessel can be wiped until all traces of grease disappear. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 213 2263. A strong solution of an alkali such as pearl- ash may be used, whereby the removal of the grease is materially facilitated. 2263. If a vessel be soiled by resin, turpentine, resinous varnishes, etc., it should be washed with a strong alkaline solution, and rubbed by means of the wire and tow. 2264. If the alkali fail to act, a little sulphuric acid acid may be employed with advantage. The latter acid will also be found advantageous in removing pitch and tar from vessels of glass. Nitric or sulphuric acids may be employed to clean flasks which have contained oil. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Pho- tographer says: "To clean a silver bottle, pour in a strong solution of cyanide; shake a few times, pour out, and rinse with water to j or three times, and your bottle is perfectly | clean. Keep the solution, and filter and I strengthen when required. By doing this ] you can sun your bath better in two hours ] than in a week's exposure in the dirty black j bottles, photographers appear to delight in." 2266. It would be easy for a practical brush maker to construct a brush in the form of a hollow cone, which would reach the bottom of bottles; but the difficulty would be to get it into the bottle without spoiling it (the brush). A brush composed of a single bundle of long hairs, something like a painter's sash tool, with the bristles cut somewhat tapering, should answer the purpose. The bottle must, of course, be turned round with the hand, to bring every part into contact with the brush. 2267. Lead shot, where so used, often leave car- bonate of lead on the internal surface, and- this is apt to be dissolved in the wine or other liquids afterward introduced, with poisonous results; and particles of the shot are some- times inadvertently left in the bottle. Fordos states that clippings of irou wire are a better means of rinsing. They are easily had, and the cleaning is rapid and complete. The iron is attacked by the oxygen of the air, but the ferruginous compound does not attach to the side of the bottle, and is easily removed in washing. Besides, a little oxidized iron is not injurious to health. Fordos found that the small traces of iron left had no apparent effect on the color of red wines; it had on white wines, but very little; but he thinks it might be better to use clippings of tin for the latter. 2268. Take a small piece of the very finest and softest flannel without crease or seam, or a few inches of superfine broadcloth, dip this in powder biue, and with it clean your plate glass, polishing with a rag of soft silk or fine chamois leather. 2269. To Cleanse Laboratory Glassware. Laboratory flasks which have contained oil or fatty matter may be easily cleansed by a solution of permanganate of potassa. To re- move turpentine, petroleum, photogene, etc., wash with an ounce or so of sulphuric acid and rinse with water. 2270. To Clean Discolored Glass. Apply dilute nitric acid. Water of am- monia is also good. 2271. To Clean Gloves. Ganteine. — A composition used to clean kid and other leather gloves. 1. Curd soap (in small shavings), 1 part; water, 3 parts; mix with heat, and stir in essence of citron, 1 part. — M. Buhan. 2272. 2. Saponine. — Duvignau soap in powder, 250 parts; water, 155 parts; dissolve with heat, cool, and add of eau de Javelle, 165 parts; so- lution of ammonia, 10 parts, and rub the whole to a smooth paste. A small portion of either of the above is rubbed over the glove with a piece of flannel (always in one direc- tion) until it is sufficiently clean. 2273. To Clean Kid Gloves. Put them together with a sufficient quan- tity of pure benzine in a large stoppered vessel, and shake the whole occasionally, with alternate rest. If, on removing the gloves, there remain any spots, rub them out with a soft cloth moistened with ether or benzole. Dry the gloves by exposure to the air, and then place smoothly between glass plates at the temperature of boiling water until the last traces of benzine are expelled. They may then be folded and pressed between paper with a warm iron. Another way is to use a strong solution of pure soap in hot milk beaten up with the yelk of one egg to a pint of the solution. Put the glove on the hand, and rub it gently with the paste, to which a little ether may be added, then carefully lay bv to dry. White gloves are not discolored by this treatment, and the leather will be made thereby clean and soft as when new. 214 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2374. DamD them slightly, stretch them gently over a wooden hand of appropriate size, and clean them with a sponge dipped in benzole, recently rectified oil of turpentine, or cam- phine. As soon as they are dry, withdraw them genuy from the stretcher, and suspend them in a current of air for a few days, or until they cease to smell of the cleaning liquid used. Heat must be avoided. The cleaning liquid should be used liberally, and the first dirty portion should be sponged off with clean liquid. 3375. Make a strong lather with curd soap and warm water; lay the glove flat on a board, the bottom of a dish, or other unyielding surface; dip a piece of flannel in the lather, and well rub the glove with it till all the dirt is out, turning it about so as to clean it all over. Dry in the sun or before a moderate fire. When dry they will look like old parchment and should be gradually pulled out and stretched. 3376. Have a small quantity of milk in a cup or saucer, and a piece of brown Windsor or gly- cerine soap in another saucer. Fold a clean towel or other cloth three or four times thick, and spread the glove smoothly on the cloth. Dip a piece of flannel in the milk, and rub it well on the soap. Hold the glove firmly with the left hand, and rub it with the flannel toward the fingers. Continue this operation until the glove, if white, appears of a dirty yellow; or if colored, until it looks dirty and spoiled, and then lay it to dry. Gloves cleaned by this method will be soft, glossy and elastic. 3377. French Method. — Put the gloves on your hands, and wash them in spirits of turpentine until they are quite clean, rubbing them ex- actly as if washing your hands; when fin- ished, hang them in a current of air to dry and to take off the smell of the turpentine. 3378. Eau de javelle 135 parts. Ammonia 8 parts. Powdered soap 200 parts. Water 150 parts. Make a soft paste, and use with a flannel. 3379. Wash them with soap and water; then stretch them on wooden hands, or pull them into shape without wringing them; next rub them with pipe clay or yellow ocher, or a mix- ture of the two in any required shade, made into a paste with beer; let them dry grad- ually, and when about half dry rub them well, so as to smooth them and put them into shape; then dry them, brush out the super- fluous color, cover them with paper, and smooth them with a warm iron. Other colors may be employed to mix with the pipe clay besides yellow ocher. 3380. Glove Cleaner. Castile soap, white 3 troy ounces. Javelle water 2 fl. ounces. Water .....* 2 fl. ounces. Water of ammonia 1 dram. Dissolve the soap by the aid of heat in the water, and when nearly cold, add the Javelle water and the water of ammonia. The pre- paration should form a paste, to be rubbed on the soiled part of the glove with a piece of flannel. This recipe is in use in many large cleaning establishments, and can be recom- mended. 3381. To Clean Kid Gloves without Wetting. Stale bread is sometimes used for this pur- pose. The gloves are put on and the softer part of the bread is broken up into crumbs and the hands are rubbed one over the other as in the act of washing, the crumbs being thus rubbed over all parts of the gloves. Spongy rubber is often used for glove cleaning. It is applied in the same manner as in cleaning drawings, i. e., it is rubbed over the soiled parts of the glove. 3383. Lay the gloves upon a clean board, make a mixture of dried fuller's earth and powdered alum, and pass them over on each side with a stiff brush. Then sweep the dust off and sprinkle them well with dry bran and whiting and dust them well. This, if the gloves be not exceedingly soiled, will effectually cleanse them; but if they are much soiled, take out the grease with crumbs of toasted bread and powder of burnt bone, then pass them over with a woolen cloth, dipped in fuller's earth or powdered alum. 3383. Doeskin, Wash ^Leather (Chamois) and Undressed Kid. Wash them in luke warm soft water, with a little castile or curd soap, oxgall or bran tea; then' stretch them on wooden hands; or NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 215 pull them into shape without wringing them; next rub them with pipe clay, yellow echer, or umber, or a mixture of them in any re- quired shade, made into a paste with ale or beer; let them dry gradually, and when about half dry rub them well so as to smooth them, and put them into shape; when they are dry brush out the superfluous color, cover them with paper and smooth them with a warm (not hot) iron. 2384. Take out the grease spots by rubbing them with magnesia or with cream of tartar. Then wash them with soap dissolved in water as directed for kid gloves, and afterward rinse them, first in warm water and then in cold. Dry in the sun, or before the fire. All gloves are better and more shapely if dried on glove trees or wooden hands. 2285. Stretch them on a hand or lay them flat on a table, and rub into them a mixture of finely powdered fuller's earth and alum; sweep it off with a brush, sprinkle them with a mixture of dry bran and whiting, and lastly dust them off well. This will not do if they are very dirty. 2386. To Clean Gold Bronze. Boil in a weak alkali prepared from an in- fusion of wood ashes. Then clean with a solution composed of e*qual parts nitric acid, water and alum. 2287. Gold Detergent. (Upton.) Quicklime, 1 ounce: sprinkle it with a little hot water to slake it, then gradually add 1 pint boiun<* water, so as to form a milk. Next dissolve pearlash, 2 ounces, in boiling water, iy 2 pints. Mix the two solutions, cover ud the vessel, agitate occasionally for an hour, allow it to settle; decant the clear, put it into flat y 2 pint bottles, and cork them well. Use to clean gilding either alone or di- luted with water. It is applied with a soft sponge, and then washed off with clean water. It is essentially a weak solution of potassa and may be extemporaneously pre- pared by diluting solution of potassa with about five times its volume. 2288. Cleaning Dull Gold. A solution of 80 grams chloride of lime, 80 grams bicarbonate of soda, and 20 grams common salt in 3 liters distilled water is pre- pared and kept in well-closed bottles. The article to be cleaned is allowed to remain some short time in this solution (which is only to be heated in the case of very obsti- nate dirt), then taken out, washed with spirit, and dried in sawdust. 2289. Removing Stains from Gold and Silver. Immerse for some time in a solution of % ounce cyanide of potassium to 1 pint rain water and brush off with prepared chalk. 2290. To Wash Gold L,ace. It is placed over night in urine or wine and washed. Take V/ 2 pints water and V/ 2 pints whisky, and a little ground gum arabic and saffron. Apply with a brush when the laces are stretched on a table. 2291. Removal of Stains from Granite. A paste of 1 ounce oxgall, 1 gill of strong solution of caustic soda, V/ 2 tablespoonfuls of turpentine, with enough pipe clay to make it thick and consistent, scour well. 2393. Mix together % pound whiting, *4 pound soft soap, 1 ounce washing soda, and a piece of sulphate of soda as big as a walnut. Rub it over the surface you propose to treat, let it stand twenty-four hours, and then wash off. If it succeeds, try another portion. 3293. Smoke and soot stains can be removed with a hard scrubbing brush and fine sharp sand, to which add a little potash. 3394. Use strong lye, or make a hot solution of 3 pounds of common washing soda dissolved in 1 gallon of water. Lay it on the granite with a paint brush. 3395. To Remove Grass Stains. Wash the stained places in clean, cold, soft water, without soap, before the garment is otherwise wet. 3296. Removal of Grease. Fatty oils have a greater surface tension than oil of turpentine, benzole or ether. Hence, if a grease spot on a piece of cloth be moistened on the reverse side with one of these solvents, the tension on the greasy side is larger, and therefore the mixture of ben- zole and fat or grease will tend to move to- ward the main grease spot. If we were to 216 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. to moisten the center of this spot with ben- zole, we should not remove it, but drive the grease upon the clean portion of the cloth. It is, therefore, necessary to distribute the benzole first over a circle surrounding the grease spot, to approach the latter gradually, at the same time having blotting paper in contact with the spot to absorb the fat im- mediately. 8297. Another method, namely, to apply a hot iron on one side, while blotting paper is ap- plied to the other, depends upon the fact that the surface tension of a substance diminishes with a rise of temperature. If, therefore, the temperature at different portions or sides of the cloth is different, the fat acquires a ten- dency to move from the hotter parts toward the cooler. — The Pharmacist. 3298. Grease and Oil. — For white linen or cotton goods, use soap or weak lye. For colored calicoes, warm soapsuds. For woolens, soap- suds or ammonia. For silks, benzine, ether, ammonia, magnesia, chalk, yolk of egg with water. 8299. Dissolve 1 ounce pearlash in 1 pint water, and to this solution add a lemon cut into thin slices. Mix well, and keep the mixture in a warm state for two days, then strain and bottle the clear liquid for use. A small quan- tity of this mixture poured on stains, occa- sioned by either grease, oil or pitch, will speedily remove them. Afterward wash in clear water. 2300. Carbonate of magnesia — magnesia that has been previously calcined is best — is dried in an oven and mixed _with sufficient benzine to form a soft, friable mass. In this state it is put into a wide mouthed glass bottle, well stoppered and kept for use. It is spread pretty thickly over the stains, and rubbed well to and fro with the tip of the finger. The small rolls of earthy matter so formed are brushed off, and more magnesia is laid on and left until the benzine has evaporated entirely. Materials that will bear washing are then cleaned with water; on silks, alcohol or benzine should be used instead. The pro- cess may be applied to textile fabrics of every description, except those containing very much wool, to which the magnesia adheres very tenaciously. It may also be used for stains, old or new, on all sorts of fancy woods, ivory, parchment, etc., without risk of injury. Ordinary writing ink is not affected by it, but letterpress quickly dissolves, owing to the absorption of the fatty matter in the ink. 2301. A method of cleansing greasy woolen or cotton rags and waste. The rags are thrown into a closed revolving drum, with a quantity of perfectly dry and finely powdered plaster of Paris; when the plaster has absorbed all the grease, the whole is transferred to an- other revolving drum, pierced with holes, by which means the greater portion of the greasy plaster is got rid of. The operation is fin- ished by beating the rags on a kind of wooden sieve. 2302. In the removal of grease from clothing, with benzol or turpentine, people generally make the mistake of wetting the cloth with the turpentine and then rubbing it with a sponge or piece of cloth. In this way the fat is dissolved, but is spread over a greater space and is not removed; the benzol or tur- pentine evaporates, and the fat covers a greater surface than before. The way is to place soft blotting paper beneath and on top of the grease spot, which is to be first thor- oughly saturated with the benzol, and then well pressed. The fat is then dissolved and absorbed by the paper, and entirely removed from the clothing. * 2303. Castile soap in shavings.. 4 ounces. Carbonate of soda 2 ounces. Borax 1 ounce. Aqua ammonia 7 ounces. Alcohol 3 ounces. Sulphuric ether 2 ounces. Soft water enough to make 1 gallon. Boil the soap in the water until it is dissolved, and then add the other ingredients. Although it is not apparent what good 2 ounces of ether can do in 1 gallon of liquid, the mixture is said to be very efficient. 2304. Make a weak solution of ammonia by mix- ing the ordinary "liquor ammoniae" of the druggist with its own volume of cold water, and rub it well into the greasy parts, rinsing the cloth in cold water from time to time until the grease is removed. The ammonia forms a soap with the fatty acids of the grease, which is soluble in water. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 217 3305. On Paper. — Press powdered fuller's earth lightly upon the greasy spot, and allow it to soak out the grease. 2306. Hannett says the spots may be removed by washing the part with ether, chloroform or benzine, and placing between white blotting paper, then passing a hot iron over. 2307. A more expeditious and thought by some the best way is to scrape fine pipe clay, mag- nesia, or French chalk on both sides of the stain, and apply a hot iron above, taking great care that it is not too hot. 2308. After gently warming the paper, take out all the grease you can with blotting paper and a hot iron, then dip a brush into essential oil of turpentine, heated almost to ebullition, and draw it gently over both sides of the paper, which must be kept warm. Repeat the oper- ation until all is removed, or as often as the thickness of the paper may render necessary. When all the grease is removed, to restore the paper to its former whiteness, dip another brush in ether, chloroform, or benzine, and apply over the stain, especially the edges of it. This will not affect printer's or common writing ink. 2309/ Lay on a coat of India rubber solution over the spot, and leave it to dry. Afterward re- move with a piece of ordinary India rubber. Any operation with ether, chloroform, or benzine should never be conducted by candle light, as their vapor is apt to kindle even at several feet from the liquid. No. 2308 will re- move grease from colored calf. Even if the spot be on the under side of the leather, it may thus be clearly drawn right through. 2310. Apply a solution of pearlash (in the pro- portion of 1 ounce pearlash to 1 pint water) to oil-stained drawing paper. 2311. Grease can be removed from billiard or other cloths by a paste of fuller's earth and turpentine. This should be rubbed upon the fabric until the turpentine has evaporated, and a white powder remains. The latter can be brushed off, and the grease will have dis- appeared. 2312. To Remove from Silk. — Use chloroform and a cotton cloth, finishing with a dry cloth. Benzine can also be used as well as French chalk. If chalk is used, place a hot iron over the spot until the grease is removed. 2313. Spots of Grease. — On white goods, soap water or alkalies; on dyed tissues of cotton, hot soap water; dyed tissues of wool, soap water or ammonia; on silk, benzine, ether, ammonia, magnesia, chalk, yolk of egg. 2314. Grease Extractor. Fuller's earth 15 parts. French chalk y 2 part. Yellow soap „ 10 parts. Pearlash , 8 parts. Mix thoroughly and make it into paste with spirits of turpentine. Color if desired, with yellow ocher. Form into cakes. 2315. An earthy compound for removing grease spots' is made as follows: Take fuller's earth free it from all gritty matter by elutriation with water; mix with % pound of the earth so prepared % pound of soda, as much soap, and 8 yolks of eggs well beaten up, with % Round of purified oxgall. The whole must be carefully triturated upon a porphyry slab, the soda with the soap in the same manner as colors are ground, mixing in gradually the eggs and the oxgall previously beaten to- gether. Incorporate next the soft earth by slow degrees, till a uniform thick paste be formed, which should be made into balls or | cakes of a convenient size and laid out to dry. A little of this detergent being scraped off with a knife, made into a paste with water and applied to the stain, will remove it. 2316. To Remove Grease from Crocks and Jars. Use hot water and sal soda. 2317. To Clean Gutta Percha. This can be done by using a mixture of soap and powdered charcoal, polishing after- ward with a dry cloth with a little charcoal on it. 2318. To Clean White Manilla Hats. Sprinkle with water and expose to the fumes of burning sulphur in a tight box. 218 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2319. To Clean Felt Hals. Clean with ammonia and water; if greasy, ■wash with fuller's earth. Size with glue size, and block while warm. Glue size made by diluting hot glue with hot water. Apply in- side, not outside the hat. The thicker the glue, the stiffer the hat. 2320. The stains of grease and paint may be re- moved from hats by means of turpentine or benzine, and if the turpentine leaves a mark, finish with a little spirits of wine. 2321. To remove grease stains from silk hats, use first turpentine and then alcohol. 2322. Cleaning Panama Hats. To renovate white straw hats the following method has been recommended. Prepare two solutions as given: I. — Sodium hyposulphite, .j 10 grams. Glycerine 5 grams, Alcohol 10 grams. Water 75 grams. II. — Citric acid 2 grams. Alcohol 10 grams. Water 90 grams. First sponge the straw hat with solution No. I, and lay aside in a moist room (cellar) for twenty-four hours; then apply solution No. II and treat similarly as before. Finally the hat should be gone over with a flat-iron, not too hot. If very dirty, the hat must be cleaned with some detergent and dried before beginning the bleaching operation. — Western Druggist. 2323. Alizarine Inks. White goods, tartaric acid, the more con- centrated the older are the spots, On colored cottons and woolens, and on silks, dilute tar- taric acid is applied, cautiously. 2324. To Remove Ink and Iron Mould. Equal parts of cream of tartar and citric acid, powdered fine, and mixed together. This forms the salts of lemon as sold by drug- gists. Directions for using: Procure a hot dinner plate, lay the part stained in the plate, and moisten with hot water; next rub in the above powder with the bowl of a spoon until stains disappear; then rinse in clean water, and dry. 2325. Place the stained part flat in a plate or dish, and sprinkle crystals of oxalic acid upon it, adding a little water; the stains will soon disappear, when the linen should be well wrung out in two or three changes of clean water. 2326. Dip the part in boiling water, and rub it with crystals of oxalic acid, then soak in a weak solution of chloride of lime — say 1 ounce to the quart of water. Under any cir- cumstances, as soon as the stain is removed, the linen should be thoroughly rinsed in sev- eral waters. 2327. The Journal de Pharmacie d' Anvers rec- ommends pyrophosphate of soda for the re- moval of ink stains. This salt does not injure vegetable fiber, and .yields colorless com- pounds with the ferric oxide of the ink. It is best to first apply tallow to the ink spot, then wash In. a solution of pyrophosphate un- til both tallow and ink have disappeared. 2328. Thick blotting paper is soaked in a con- centrated solution of oxalic acid and dried. Laid immediately on a blot, it takes it out without leaving a trace behind. 2329. Tin. chloride 2 parts. Water 4 parts. To be applied with a soft brush, after which the paper must be passed through cold water. 2330. Hydrochloric acid and hot water, in the pro- portion of 8 of hot water to 1 of acid; if not strong enough, add more acid; when clear of stain, wash well and boil, to remove all traces of acid. 2331. A weak solution of chloride of zinc. 2332. To remove from clothes use a mixture of 4 parts of tartar and 2 parts of powdered alum. This is not injurious to clothes. Other stains may be removed with it. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 219 3333. To remove a blot, dip a camel hair brush in water, and rub over the blot, letting the water remain on a few seconds; then make as dry as you can with blotting paper, then rub carefully with India rubber. Repeat the operation if not all removed. For lines, cir- cles, etc., dip the ink leg of your instruments in water, open the pen rather wider than the line, and trace over, using blotting paper and India rubber, as for a blot. Applicable to drawing paper, tracing paper, and tracing linen. If the surface is a little rough after, polish with your nail. , 3334. To Remove Printer's Ink. Put the stained parts of the fabric into a quantity of benzine, then use a fine, rather stiff brush, with fresh benzine. Dry and rub bright with warm water and curd soap. The benzine will not injure the fabric or dye. 3335. Iron Spots and Black Ink. White goods, hot oxalic acid, dilute muriatic acid, with little fragments of tin. On fast- dyed cottons and woolens, citric acid is cau- tiously and repeatedly applied. Silks, im- possible. 3336. Iodine Stains on Paper. Apply solution of pure sodium hyposulphite, and then strong ammonia water, by means of blotting paper; remove excess by pressing be- tween sheets of bibulous paper moistened with water, and dry between clean warm (dry) blotting pads. Iodine stains may be removed by alcohol. 3337. Iron and Steel. Take a spongy piece of fig tree wood and well saturate it with a mixture of sweet oil and finely powdered emery, and with this well rub all the rusty parts. This will not only clean the article, but will at the same time polish it, and so render the use of whiting unnecessary. 2338. Bright iron or steel goods (as polished grates and fire irons) may be preserved from rust in the following manner: Having first been thoroughly cleaned, they should be dusted over with powdered quicklime, and thus left until wanted for use. Coils of piano wire are covered in this manner, and will keep free from rust for many years. 3339. Dissolve y 2 ounce camphor, and 1 pound hog's lard, and take off the scum; then mix with the lard as much black lead as will give the mixture an iron color. Rub the articles all over with this mixture, and let them lie for twenty-four hours; then dry with a linen cloth, and they will keep clean for months. 3340. Table knives which are not in constant use should be put in a case containing a depth of about 8 inches of quicklime. They are to be plunged into this to the top of the blades, but the lime must not touch the handles. 3341. Steel bits that are tarnished, but not rusty, can be cleaned with rotten stone, common hard soap, and a woolen cloth. 3343. To Clean Iron. To clean iron parts of machinery, tools,, etc., two to three cents worth of paraffine chipped fine are added to one liter petroleum in a stoppered bottle, and during two or three days from time to time shaken up until the paraffine is dissolved. To apply it, the mix- ture is well shaken, spread upon the metal to be cleaned by means of a woolen rag or brush, and on the following day rubbed off with a dry woolen rag. 3343. Yellow stains, commonly called iron mould, are removed from linen by hydrochloric acid or hot solution of oxalic acid. Wash well in warm water afterward. 2344. To Remove Iron Rust. This may be removed by salt mixed with a little lemon juice. 2345. Salts of lemon, mixed with warm water and rubbed over the mark, will, most probably, remove the stains. 2346. Throw on the stain a small quantity of the dry powder of magnesia, rubbing it slightly in with the finger, leaving it there for an hour or two, and then brushing it off, when it will be found that the stain has quite disap- peared. 220 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 3347. Fresh ink and the soluble salts of iron pro- duce stains which, if allowed to dry, and especially if afterward the material has been washed, are difficult to extract without injury to the ground. When fresh, such stains yield rapidly to a treatment with moistened cream of tartar, aided by a little friction, if the ma- terial or color is delicate. If the ground be white, oxalic acid, employed in the form of a concentrated aqueous solution, will effec- tually remove fresh iron stains. 2348. Removal of Smoke Stains from Ivory. Immerse in benzine; if burned, there is no remedy. 3349. To Clean Jet. Remove all dust with a very soft brush, touch the jet with a bit of cotton, moistened with a little good oil, polish with wash leather. Clean with great care, as the jet is often brittle. 3350. To Remove Kerosene Oil from Carpets. Spread over the stain above and below warm pipe clay, and allow it to remain twenty-four hours; then brush it off and beat out the carpet. 3351. To Remove Stains from Knives. Cut a solid potato in two, dip one of the pieces in brick dust, such as is usually used for knife cleaning, and rub the blade with it. 3353. To Wash L,ace. Cover an ordinary wine bottle with fine flannel, stitching it firmly round the bottle. Tack one end of the lace to the flannel, then roll it very smoothly round the bottle and tack down the other end, then cover with a piece of very fine flannel or muslin. Now rub it gently with a strong soap liquor, and, if the lace is very much discolored or dirty, fill the bottle with hot water and place it in a kettle or saucepan of suds and boil it for a few minutes, then place the bottle under a tap of running water to rinse out the soap. Make some strong starch, and melt in it a piece of white wax and a little loaf sugar. Plunge the bottle two or three times into this .and squeeze out the superfluous starch with the hands; then dip the bottle in cold water, remove the outer covering from the lace, fill the bottle with hot water and stand it in the sun to dry the lace. When nearly dry rake it very carefully off the bottle and pick it •out with fhe fingers. Then lay it in a cool place to dry thoroughly. 2353. First rip off the lace, carefully pick out the loose bits of thread, and roll the lace very smoothly and securely round a clean black bottle, previously covered with old white linen, sewed tightly on. Tack each end of the lace with a needle and thread to keep it smooth, and be careful in wrapping not to crumple or fold in any of the scallops or pearlings. After it is on the bottle, take some of the best sweet oil, and with a clean sponge wet the lace thoroughly to the inmost folds. Have ready in a wash kettle a strong, cold lather of clear water and castile soap. Fill the bottle with cold water, to prevent its bursting, cork it well and stand It up- right in the suds, with a string round the neck secured to the ears or handle of the kettle, to prevent its knocking about and breaking while over the fire. Let it boil in the suds for an hour or more, till the lace is clean and white all through. Drain off the suds and dry it on the bottle in the sun. When dry, remove the lace from the bottle and roll it round a wide ribbon block, or lay it in long folds; place it within a sheet of smooth white paper, and press it in a large book for a few days. 2354. To Clean Gold and Silver L,ace. Sew the lace in a clean linen cloth, boil it in 1 quart of soft water, and % pound of soap, and wash it in cold water. If tarnished, apply a little warm spirits of wine to the tarnished spots. 3355. A weak solution of cyanide of potassium cleans gold lace well. 3356. To Revive Black Lace. Make some black tea about the strength usual for drinking and strain it off the leaves. Pour enough tea into a basin to cover the quantity of lace, let it stand ten or twelve hours, then squeeze it several times, but do not rub it. Dip it frequently into the tea, which will at length assume a dirty appear- ance. Have ready some weak gum water, and press the lace gently through it; then clap it for a quarter of an hour; after which, pin it to a towel in any shape which you wish it to take. When nearly dry, cover it with another towel and iron it with a cool iron. The lace, if previously sound and discolored only, will after this process look as good as new. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 221 2357. Wash the lace thoroughly in some good beer; use no gum water; clap the lace well, and proceed with ironing and drying, as in the former recipe. 2358. To Cleanse Wash Leather. (Chamois Skin.) A German optical journal recommends washing soiled polishing leather in a weak solution of soda and warm water, then rub- bing a good deal of soap in the leather and letting it soften for two hours. It is after- ward thoroughly washed until perfectly clean, and rinsed in a weak solution of warm water, soda, and yellow soap. It must not be washed in clean water, or it will become so hard when dry that it cannot be used again. It is the small quantity of soap re- maining in the leather which penetrates its smallest particles and makes the leather as soft as silk. After the rinsing it is wrung out in a coarse hand towel and dried quickly. It is then pulled in every direction and well brushed, after which it is softer and better than most wash leather when first bought. If rough leather is used to finish highly polished surfaces, it will often be observed that the surface is scratched or injured. This is caused by particles of dust and even grains of hard rouge that were left in the leather. As soon as they are removed with a clean brush and rouge, a perfectly bright and beau- tiful finish can be obtained. 2359. Use a weak solution of soda and warm wafer, rub plenty of soft soap into the leather, and allow it to remain in soak for two hours, then rub it sufficiently, and rinse in a weak solution of warm water, soda, and yellow soap. If rinsed in water only, it be- comes hard when dry and unfit for use. After rinsing, wring out in a rough towel, and dry quickly, then pull it about and brush it well. 2360. To Clean Leather. Mix well together 1 pound of French yellow ocher and a dessertspoonful of sweet oil; then take 1 pound pipe clay and % pound starch. Mix with boiling water; when cold lay on the leather; when dry, rub and brush well. 2361. Removing Rust from a Lens. A lens sometimes acquires a brown, rusty stain on the surface, which no amount of rub- bing or cleaning will remove. By applying a paste composed of putty powder, or very fine rouge, and water to the stains, and then rub- bing briskly with either the point of the finger or the side of the hand, every spot of rust or stain will be removed in a few minutes. This applies to photographic or other lenses, except the object glass of a telescope, which would be irreparably damaged by such treat- ment. 2362. To Clean Lenses. A very soft chamois skin is best; if greasy, wipe with a little tissue paper wet with weak alkali. Lenses should be cleaned as rarely as possible; use old linen, not silk. 2363. Lime, Lyes, Alkalies. On white goods, simple washing in water. On dyed tissues of cotton and wool, and on silk, weak nitric acid poured drop by drop, and rub with the finger the spot previously moistened. 2364. To Prevent Blistering in Linen. Blistering is almost always due to bad starching, but occasionally to ironing the arti- cles when too wet. Each article must be well starched through, and when about to iron damp it evenly, but do not wet it. Use a hot iron. Collars and cuffs that have to be turned down should be fixed in the proper shape immediately after each one is ironed, for then the starch is still flexible. 2365. To Restore Whiteness to Scorched Linen. One-half pint of vinegar, 2 ounces of Ful- ler's earth, 1 ounce of dried fowl's dung, one- half ounce soap, the juice of 2 large onions. Boil all these ingredients together to the con- sistency of paste; spread the composition thickly over the damaged part, and if the threads be not actually consumed, after it has been allowed to dry on, and the place has sub- sequently been washed once or twice, every trace of scorching will disappear. 2366. To Polish Linen. Put 2 drams of powdered wax, 2 drams of of powdered soap, and 4 drams of powdered Frenh chalk in each pint of starch. 2367. To Clean Machinery. To clean iron parts of machinery, tools, etc., about 10 grammes paraffin chipped fine are added, to 1 liter petroleum in a stoppered bottle, and during two or three days from time 222 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. to time shaken up until the paraffin is dis- solved. To apply it the mixture is well shaken, spread upon the metal to be cleaned by means of a woolen rag or brush, and on the following day rubbed off with a dry woolen rag. 2368. Spots on Mahogany. Stains and spots may be taken out of ma- hogany with a little aquafortis and water, or oxalic acid and water, rubbing the part by means of cork, till the color is restored, ob- serving afterward to wash the wood well with water, and to dry and polish as usual. 3369. To Remove Grease from Marble. Apply a little pile of whiting or fuller's earth saturated with benzine, and allow it to stand some time. 2370. Or apply a mixture of 2 parts washing soda, 1 part ground pumice stone, and 1 part chalk, all first finely powdered and made into a paste with water; rub well over the marble, and finally wash off with soap and water. 8371 To Clean Marble Mix with water 5 parts soda, 2y 2 parts powdered chalk, 2% parts pumice stone (pow- dered). Wash the spots with this mixture; then wash off with soap and water. 3372. To extract oil from marble or stone, soft soap, V-k parts; fuller's earth, 3 parts; potash, V/ 2 part, boiling water to mix. Apply to the grease spots and let it remain two or three hours. 3373. Marble, to Remove Oil Stains in. — Stains in marble caused by oil can be removed by apply- ing common clay saturated with benzine. If the grease has remained long enough it will become acidulated, and may injure the polish, but the stain will be removed. Boil one-half pound soft soap in 1 quart water, very slowly, until the water is reduced to 1 pint. Apply this in the same manner as the preceding. 3374. Take 2 parts common soda, 1 part pumice stone, and 1 part finely powdered chalk; sift it through a nne sieve and mix with water; then rub it well all over the marble, and the stains will be removed; then wash the marble over with soap and water, and it will be as clean as it was at first. 3375. A bullock's gall, 1 gill soap lees, one-half gill turpentine. Mix into a paste with pipe clay. Apply to the marble, allow it to re- main two or three days, then rub off. 3376. Cover the soiled part with a paste of quick- lime, moistened with a strong aqueous solu- tion of sal soda for several hours; then re- move the paste, wash the parts thoroughly, and polish if necessary. 2377. Common soda, 3 parts; pumice stone, 1% part; finely powdered chalk iy 2 part; sift very fine, and mix with water. Rub all over the marble. Wash well with soap and water. 2378. If the marble is white, coat it with gum arabic and expose to the sun. When it peels off wash with water, or make a paste with fuller's earth and hot water, cover the spots therewith, let it dry on, and next day scour off with soft soap. The luster can be re- stored by rubbing with a dry cloth. 2379. Be sure that the dust is all brushed from the marble. Rub with the following: Whit- ing, 6 ounces; soft soap, 6 ounces; soda, iy 2 ounces; a piece of stone blue size of a large walnut. Mix and rub on the marble with a flannel cloth. Let it remain for twenty-four hours. Wash off and polish with a piece of flannel. 2380. To take Stains from White Marble. — Tur- pentine, 2% tablespoonfuls; lye, V/ 2 gills; ox- gall, V/ 2 ounces; pipe clay, q. s. to make a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it remain for several days. Iron mould or ink spots may be taken out by dissolving in Vfa pints rainwater, V/ 2 ounces oxalic acid, three- quarters ounce butter antimony, flour suffic- ient to make the mixture of a proper consist- ency. Put on with a brush, let it remain a few days, wash off. Grease spots may be re- moved by applying common clay saturated with benzine. 2381. Ink Stains on Marble. — Dissolve 1 ounce an- timony trichloride and 2 ounces oxalic acid in 1 quart of water. Add flour enough to make a paste. Leave on the spot for a few days until the spot is removed. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 223 2382. Iron Stains on Marble. — Boil your marble in a strong solution of caustic soda, then take out, and rub well. Soon all the stains will come out. 2383. Matches, to Remove Marks Made by. — Spots from sulphur ^nd phosphorus caused by luci- fer matches can be extracted from marble by carbon disulphide; or take 2 parts of common soda, 1 part of pumice stone and 1 part of finely powdered chalk; sift it through a fine sieve and mix it with water; then rub it well all over the marble, and the stains will be re- moved, then wash the marble over with soap and water, and it will be as clean as it was at first. 2384. To Clean Matting. Wash with water in which bran has been boiled, or in weak salt and water. Dry it well with a cloth. 2385. Mildew. Well mix together a spoonful of table salt, 2 of soft soap, 2 of powdered starch, and the juice of a lemon. Lay this mixture on both sides of the stain with a painter's brush, and then lay the article on the grass, day and night, until the stain disappears. 2386. Get a piece of flannel, dip it into whisky, and well rub the place marked; then iron on the wrong side, taking care to put a piece of damp cotton cloth between the iron and silk, and iron on the cotton cloth, which will pre- vent the silk assuming a shiny glazed appear- ance. 2387. Wash clean and take every particle of soap off, then put the linen into a galvanized bath or tub full of clean cold water, procure a little chloride of lime, and tie it up in a muslin bag or piece of muslin, dissolve the lime in luke- warm water by squeezing the bag, then pour the water among the clothes. Stir and leave them for 24 hours, but do not put too much lime in, or you will rot the clothes; then well rinse in clean cold water. 2388. Hypochlorite of alumina is said to be one of the best remedies. Moisten with water, rub well into the cloth, moisten again with dilute sulphuric acid (1 to 20), and after half an hour, rinse thoroughly in soft water and then in water containing about an ounce to the gallon of sulphite or hyposulphite of soda. A stiff brush may be advantageously employed in ap- plying the hypochlorite. 2389. Mildew, to Prevent. — Housekeepers are often greatly troubled and perplexed by mil- dew from damp closets and from rust. By putting an earthen bowl or deep plate full of quicklime into the closet, the lime will ab- sorb the dampness and also sweeten and dis- infect the place. Rats, mice, and many bugs that are apt to congregate in damp places have a dislike to lime. As often as the lime becomes slaked throw it on the compost heap if in the country, or into the ash barrel if in the city. 2390. Mildew, to Prevent in Canvas, etc. — Dis- solve 1 pound zinc sulphate in 40 gallons water, and then add 1 pound sal soda. When dissolved, 2 ounces tartaric acid are added. This holds the partially separated zinc car- bonate without neutralizing the excess of al- kali used. The canvas, etc., should be soaked in this solution for 24 hours, and then dried without wringing. 3391. Mildew, to Remove from Brickwork. — Build- ers' acid (hydrochloric acid) is often used for removing white stains from brickwork. Its efficacy in the case of mildew would be doubt- ful. A coat of linseed oil on the perfectly dry brick would have a good preventive ten- dency. Melted paraffin applied hot, and worked in with a paint burner would also be efficacious. Perhaps either of the last named applications would destroy the mildew or white stain also. Acid used by an experi- enced man would not injure the joints. 2392. Canvas, Rendering it Mildew-proof. — Satu- rate the cloth in a hot solution of soap (one- quarter pound to a gallon of water); wring out and digest it for twelve hours in solution of one-half pound alum to 1 gallon of water. 2393. Use the following: Alum, 2 pounds, dissolved in 60 pounds water; blue vitriol, 2 pounds, dis- solved in 8 pounds of water, to which is added gelatine, 1 pound, dissolved in 30 pounds water; lead actate, one-half pound dissolved in 30 pounds water. The solutions are all hot, and separately mixed, with the exception of the vitriol, which is added. 224 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2394. Treatment with strong aqueous solution of alum or lead acetate answers very well. 2395. To Remove from Canvas. — Wash with solu- tion of calcium hypochlorite (bleaching pow- der) in cold water or vinegar. Use plenty of cold water afterward. 2396. Cotton Goods, to Remove from. — If the goods are colored, soak for twenty-four hours or more in sour milk or buttermilk, then rinse in water, and wash in strong soapsuds. If the goods are white, moisten the spots repeatedly with Javelle water diluted with volumes of water, rinse well, then wash in strong soap- suds, not too hot. 2397. Gold Lace, to Remove Mildew from. — For this purpose no alkaline liquors are to be used; for while they clean the gold, they cor- rode the silk, and change or discharge its color. Soap also alters the shade, and even the species of certain colors. But spirit of wine may be used without any danger of its injur- ing either color or quality, and in many cases proves as effectual for restoring the luster of the gold as the corrosive detergents. But though the spirit of wine is the most inno- cent material employed for this purpose, it is not in all cases proper. The golden cover- ing may be in some places worn off, or the base metal, with which it has been alloyed, may be corroded by the air, so as to have the particles of gold disunited, while the silver underneath, tarnished toi a yellow hue, may continue of a tolerable color; so it is apparent that the removal of the tarnish would be prejudicial, and make the lace less like gold than it was before. 2398. Linen, Mildew from. — Take soap and rub it well; then scrape some fine chalk, and rub that also in the linen, lay it on the grass as it dries, wet it a little, and it will come out at once. 2399. Two tablespoonfuls of soft soap and the juice of a lemon. Lay it on the spots with a brush, on both sides of the linen. Let it lie a day or two till the stains disappear. 2400. Nets, to Prevent from Rotting. — The fol- lowing treatment is said to preserve nets for a long time in a good condition: Soften 1 pound good glue in cold water; then dissolve it in 10 gallons of hot soft water, with one- half pound curd soap. Wash the nets in soft water, then boil them in this for two hours, press out excess of the liquid and hang up overnight. The second bath consists of alum, 2 pounds; water, 5 gallons; heat nearly to boil- ing, and immerse the nets in this for about three hours, then press and transfer to a strong decoction of oak bark or a solution of sumac in warm water (water, 5 gallons, su- mac, 8 pounds), and let them remain immersed in this for forty-eight hours, or longer, if con- venient. 2401. To Remove Mildew from Paper. Soak one ounce of gelatine for some hours in 1 pint of water, and 1 ounce of white soap scraped, in the same quantity of water; mix the two solutions and boil till dissolved. Dis- solve 1 dram of alum in 2 ounces of water, and add it to the above. When the mixture is cold, decant the solution from all sedi- ment. Spread the above over the damaged paper with a stout feather. If the paper be in a very bad state, a second coat may be ap- plied. A little spirits of wine added to the solution tends to keep ft good. 2402. The Preservation of Ropes. The ropes should be dipped, when dry, into a bath containing 20 grammes of sulphate of copper per liter of water, and kept in soak in this solution for four days, afterward being dried. The ropes will thus have absorbed a certain quantity of sulphate of copper, which will preserve them from the attacks of ani- mal parasites and from rot. The copper salt may be fixed in the fiber by a coating of tar or by soapy water. For tarring the rope it is best to pass it through a bath of boiled tar, hot, drawing it through a thimble to press back the excess of tar, and suspending it afterward on a staging to dry and harden. In the second method, the rope is soaked in a solution of 100 grammes of soap per liter of water. The copper soap thus formed in the fiber of the rope preserves it from rot even better than the tar, which acts mechanically to imprison the sulphate of copper, which is the real preservative. It is not stated whether the copper treatment is equally ser- viceable with dressed as with plain hemp ropes. 2403. Ropes, to Prolong the Life of. — To prolong the duration of ropes, steep them in a solu- tion of sulphate of copper, 1 ounce to 1 quart of water, and then tar them. XOX-SECRET FORMULAS. 225 2404. Stoue, Mildew or Mould, to Remove from. — Try a little strong aqueous solution of caus- tic soda. It should remain ten minutes in contact -with the stone, which, after washing with water, should be well rubbed with a stiff brush or broom. 2405. To Remove 3Iilh and Coffee Stains. These stains are very difficult to remove, especially from light colored and finely fin- ished goods. From woolen and mixed fabrics they are taken out by moistening them with a mixture of 1 part glycerine, 9 parts water, and one-half part aqua ammonia. This mix- ture is applied to the goods by means of a brush, and allowed to remain for twelve hours, occasionally renewing the moistening. After this time, the stained pieces are pressed between cloth, and then rubbed, with a clean rag. Drying, and if possible a little steaming, is generally sufficient to thoroughly remove the stains. 2406. Stains on silk garments which are dyed with delicate colors, or finely finished, are more difficult to remove. In this case 5 parts glycerine are mixed with 5 parts water, and one-fourth part of ammonia added. Before using this mixture it should be tried on some part of the garments where it cannot be no- ticed, in order to see if the mixture will change the color. If such is the case, no am- monia should be added. If, on the contrary, no change takes place, or if, after drying, the original color is restored, the above mixture is applied with a soft brush, allowing it to remain on the stains for six or eight hours, and is then rubbed with a clean cloth. The remaining dry substance is then carefully taken off by means of a knife. The injured places are now brushed over with clean water, pressed between cloths and dried. If the stain is not then removed, a rubbing with dry bread will easily take it off. To restore the finish, a thin solution of gum arabic, or in many cases beer is preferred, is brushed on, then dried, and carefully ironed. By careful manipulation these stains will be successfully removed. 2407. To Remove Xitric Acid Stains. According to Reimann's Faerber Zeitung, these yellow stains, so familiar to the chemist and druggist, can be removed either from the skin or from brown or black woolen garments by moistening the spots for a while with per- manganate of potash and rinsing with water. A brownish stain of manganese remains, which may be removed from the skin by washing with aqueous solution of sulphurous acid. If the spots are old, they cannot be entirely removed. 15 2408. Nitric Acid Stains, to remove from the Hands. — Touch the stains with solution of per- manganate of potassium; wash, rinse in dilute hydrochloric acid, and wash again. 2409. To Renovate Oil Cloths. Dissolve 2% pounds paraffin and 1 gallon oil of turpentine by the aid of a gentle heat, and apply with a sponge or piece of flannel, while warm. Let it remain on the oil cloth twenty- four hours; then polish with flannel. This so- lution not only renovates but preserves the cloth. It has been used on oil cloths which have been down four years, and they look as good as new. The same preparation may also be used on painted floors. When rubbed with flannel, it will have a beautiful gloss, equal to varnish. 2410. To Clean Oil Cloth. Wash with a large soft woolen cloth and lukewarm or cold water, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and afterward polish with milk, or a weak solution of beeswax, in spirits of turpentine. Never use a brush, or hot water, or soap, as either will be certain to bring off the paint. 2411. Wash with equal quantities of milk and water. Once in several months a little lin- seed oil may be used. It must be well rubbed in and polished with a piece of silk. 2412. Oil Colors, Varnish and Resins. On white or colored linens, cottons, or wool- ens, use rectified oil of turpentine, alcohol lye, and their soap. On silks, use benzine, ether, and mild soap, very cautiously. 2413. Oil Stains on Paper. Use pipe clay mixed with water. Allow it to remain on the spot for several hours. 2414. To Remove Oil Stains from Floors, Use oxalic acid and water, then wash well with soda and soap. 2415. To Clean Paint Brushes. When a paint brush is stiff and hard through drying with paint on it, put some turpentine in a shallow dish and set it on fire. Let it burn for a minute until hot, then smother the flame and work the pencil in the fingers, dipping it frequently into hot spirits. Rinse all painc brushes, pencils, etc., in tur- pentine, grease with a mixture of sweet oil and tallow, to prevent them from drying hard, and put them away in a close box. 226 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2416. To soften brushes that have become hard, soak them twenty -four hours in raw linseed oil, and rinse them out in hot turpentine, re- peating the process till clean; or wash them in hot soda and water and soft soap. 2417. To Clean Paint. To clean paint, provide a plate with some of the best whiting to be had; have ready some clean warm water and a piece of flannel, which dip into the water and squeeze nearly dry; then take as much whiting as will ad- here to it, and apply it to the painted sur- face, when a little rubbing will instantly re- move any dirt or grease. After which, wash the part well with clean water, rubbing it dry with a soft chamois. Paint thus cleaned looks as well as when first laid on, without any injury to the most delicate colors. It is far better than using soap, and does not re- quire more than half the time and labor. 2418. To clean paint, take 1 ounce pulverized bo- rax, 1 pound small pieces best brown soap, and 3 quarts water; let simmer till the soap is dissolved, stirring frequently. Do not let it boil. Use with a piece of old flannel, and rinse off as soon as the paint is clean. This mixture is also good for washing clothes. 2419. Dissolve one-half ounce glue and a bit of soft soap the size of a walnut* in about 3 pints of warm water, and with a well-worn white- wash brush well scrub the work, but not sufficient to get off the paint, and rinse with plenty of cold clean water, using a wash leather; let dry itself. Work done in this manner will often look equal to new. 2430. First take off all the dust with a soft brush and a pair of bellows. Scour with a mixture of soft soap and fuller's earth, and use luke- warm water. If there are any spots which are extra dirty, first remove these by rubbing with a sponge dipped in soap and water. Commence the scouring at the top of the door or wainscot, and proceed downward; and dry with a soft linen cloth. When cleaning paint, it is always better to employ two per- sons, one to scour and the other to rub dry. 2421. To Remove Paint. Scraping or burning it off is extremely la- borious, and too slow for general purposes. A more thorough and expeditious way is by chemical process, using for that purpose a solution of soda and quicklime in equal propor- tions. The solution may be made as follows: The soda is dissolved in water, the lime is then added, and the solution is applied with a brush to the old paint. A few moments are sufficient to remove the coats of paint, which may be washed off with hot water. The oldest paint may be removed \by a paste of the soda and quicklime. The wood should be afterward washed with vinegar or an acid so- lution before repainting to remove all traces of the alkali. 2422. Wet the place with naphtha, repeating as often as required; but frequently one appli- cation will dissolve the paint. As soon as it is softened rub the surface clean. Chloro- form, mixed with a small quantity of spirit ammonia, composed of strong ammoniac, has been employed very successfully to remove the stains of dry paint from wood, silk, and other substances. 2423. To Remove from Floors. — Take 1 pound American pearlash, 3 pounds quick stone lime, slake the lime in water, then add the pear- lash, and make the whole about the consis- tence of paint. Lay the mixture over the whole body of the work which is required to be cleaned, with an old brush; let it remain for 12 or 14 hours, when the paint can be easily scraped off. 3424. To Soften Putty and Remove Old Paint. Take 3 pounds of quick stone lime, slake the lime in water, and then add 1 pound of Amer- ican pearlash. Apply this to both sides of the glass, and let it remain for twelve hours, when the putty will be softened, and the glass may be taken out without being broken. To destroy paint apply it to the whole body of the work which is required to be cleaned; use an old brush, as it will spoil a new one; let it remain about twelve or fourteen hours and then the paint may be easily scraped off. 2425. To remove paint from old doors, etc., and to soften putty in window frames, so that the glass may be taken out without breakage or cutting, take 1 pound of pearlash and 3 pounds of quicklime; slake the lime in water, and then add the pearlash, and make the whole about the consistence of paint. Apply it to both sides of the glass, and let it remain for twelve hours, when the putty will be so soft- ened that the glass may be taken out of the frame without being cut and with the greatest facility. To destroy paint lay the above over the whole body of the work which is required to be cleaned, using an old brush (as it will spoil a new one); let it remain for twelve or fourteen hours, when the paint can be easily scraped off. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 227 2426. Paint Stains on Glass. — American potash, 3 parts: unslaked lime, 1. Lay this on with a stick, letting it remain for some time, and it will remove either tar or paint. 3427. Common washing soda dissolved in water. Let it soak awhile — if put on thick, say 30 minutes — and then wash off. If it does not remove, give it another application. 2428. Paint, Varnish and Resin Stains on Clothes. For white or colored cotton and woolen goods, oil of turpentine or benzine, followed by soapsuds. For silk, benzine, ether, soap; hard rubbing is to be avoided. For all kinds of fabrics chloroform is best, but must be carefully used. 2429. Stains of paint or varnish, after being soft- ened with olive oil or fresh butter, may gener- ally be removed by the same means as ordin- ary grease spots. 2430. Saturate the spots with a solution of equal parts turpentine and spirits of ammonia; wash out with strong soapsuds. 2431. Paint stains that are dry and old may be removed from cotton or woolen goods with chloroform. First cover the spot with olive oil or butter. 2432. To Clean Paintings. Dissolve a little common soda in urine, then add a grated potato and a little salt; well rub this over the paintings till clean. Wash off in spring water and dry with a clean cloth. 2433. First rub the picture well with good whisky, which will make the varnish come off in froth, then wash well with cold water, and when dry varnish again; this will re- store the picture to its original color unless very old. Keep the picture covered from dust until the varnish is dry. 2434. Renovation of Papier Mache Goods. One-half pint linseed oil, one-half pint old ale, the white of an egg, 1 ounce spirits of wine, 1 ounce hydrochloric acid; well shake before using. A little to be applied to the face of soft linen pad, and lightly rubbed for a minute or two over the article to be re- stored, which must afterward be polished off with old silk handkerchief. This will keep any length of time if well corked. Invalu- able for delicate cabinet work. — Dustpan. 2435. Wash with water, dredge with flour, and polish with a dry flannel cloth. 2436. To Extract Paraffin Oil from Floor. A strong hot solution of oxalic acid applied, and by the after use of the scrubbing brush, you will remove all the stains from your boards.— A. E. B. Smith. 2437. To Clean Parchment. Immerse the parchment in a solution of ace- tic acid, and gently rub the stained parts while wet on a flat board with lump pumice, then bleach it with chloride of lime. This process was recommended in the English Me- chanic. It is not very successful, but it makes it white enough for bookbinding. It has, however, the objectionable qualities of not making the parchment flexible, and when dried it is as hard as a board, and it has no gloss like the virgin parchment. On no ac- count must the parchment be washed in very hot water, or held before a fire, as it will shrivel up in a most provoking manner. 2438. To Clean Pearls. Soak them in hot water in which bran has been boiled, with a little cream of tartar and alum, rubbing gently between the hands when the heat will admit of it. When the water is cold renew the application till any discoloration is removed, rinse in lukewarm water; lay them on white paper in a dark place to cool. 2439. Piques and Colored Muslins. French method: Make a strong lather with best white soap dissolved in soft water, and use while rather warm, but not hot. Wash the dress in this, but do not soak it previ- ously. As soon as the lather appears soiled squeeze out the dress, throw away the lather, and wash the dress again in a second lot, and so continue until the dress is thoroughly clean. Then well rinse it in cold water, and afterward in cold water slightly blued. Squeeze all the water out of the dress, but do not wring it, and hang in a shady place to dry, or, if the weather be wet, dry it before the fire. When dry they are to be starched. It is in this operation that the failures in get- ting up muslins and piques more often occur than in the washing. Use a large basin and have plenty of starch, and dissolve in the starch, according to the quantity of it, 3 or 228 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 4 in. of composite or wax candle. Squeeze the starch well out of the dress, and while it is still wet put it between some old sheets or table cloths, and pass it between the rollers of a wringing machine or under a mangle; by this means all lumps of starch will be re- moved. Finish by ironing. Piques should be ironed on the wrong side, as lightly as pos- sible. 2440. To Renovate Plush. To restore the plush, hold the wrong side over steam arising from boiling water, until the pile rises; or dampen lightly the wrong side of the plush, and hold it over a pretty hot iron, not hot enough to scorch, however, or make a clean brick hot; place upon it a vret cloth, and hold the plush over it, and the steam will raise it. 2441. To Clean Iron Pots. Put a few ounces of washing soda (sodium carbonate) into the pot, fill wth water, and boil until the inside looks clean. 2442. Lightning Renovator. Castile soap. 4 oz. ; hot water, 1 qt. When the soap is dissolved, add water, 4 qt. ; water of ammonia, 4 fl. oz. ; sulphuric ether, 1. fl. oz. ; glycerine, 1 fl. oz. ; alcohol, 1 oz. Medical Brief states that this is an excellent prepara- tion for removing grease. 2443. To Clean Goatskin Rugs. One washing with warm (not hot) suds will not materially hurt the skin itself. The skin may not seem quite so soft after the washing, but if the washing is done quickly, the skin well rinsed in cold water, and dried with only moderate warmth, being frequently turned and shaken, the difference will hardly be per- ceptible. 2444. To Remove Rust Spots. By adding 2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part oxalic acid ground fine and kept dry in a bottle, you will find, by applying a little of the powder to rust stains while the article is wet, that the result is much quicker and better. Wash out in clear warm water to pre- vent injury to the goods. 2445. Rust, Black Ink. On white goods, warm solution oxalic acid; weak muriatic acid. On dyed tissues of cotton, repeated washings with citric acid if the color is well dyed. Ditto of wool, same; weak muriatic acid if the wool is of the natural color. On silk, no remedy. 2446. To Clean Satins. Satins may be cleansed with a weak solu- tion of borax or benzine when greasy. Care should be taken to sponge moderately and lengthwise, not across, the fabric; iron on the wrong side only. White, cream, and pink satins may be treated in the same way as cream-colored silks. 2447. To Clean Black.— Boil 3 lb. potatoes to a pulp in a quart of water; strain through a sieve, and brush the satin with it on a board or table. The satin must not be wrung, but folded down in cloths, for three hours, and then ironed on the wrong side. 2448. Scouring Liquid. M. LeClerc. For scouring and removing grease from tissues of all kinds and worn clothes. To take out spots the liquid is used pure, but for general scouring it is mixed with 4 or 5 times its own, quantity of water. In 22 gal. hot water dissolve 15% lb. white Marseilles soap; 1 3/10 lb. carbonate of potash; or 15 or 18 lb. soft soap. To the solution add extract of Panama, 1 1/10 lb. In another 1 vessel mix ox or sheep gall, 15 qt. ; and ammounia at 22°, 3 pt. Heat this mix- ture, skim it, let it cool, and then add alco- hol at 90°, 3 3/10 gal.; decant and filter. Take 1/3 part of the soap mixture and 2/3 part of the gall mixture, and add some aromatic es- sence. 2449. Scouring Preparations for Removing Grease. One ounce camphor dissolved in 3 oz. alco- hol. Add 4 oz. essence of lemon. Camphine, 8 oz.; alcohol, 1 oz. ; sulphuric ether, 1 oz.; essence of lemon, 1 dram. Alcohol, 8 oz. ; white soap, 1% oz. ; oxgall, 1% oz.; essence of lemon, % to *4 oz. 2450. Scoxiring Paste. Oxalic acid, 1 part; iron peroxide, 15 parts; powdered rotten stone, 20 parts; palm oil, 60 parts; petrolatum, 4 parts. Pulverize the ox- alic acid and add rouge and rotten stone, mix- ing thoroughly, and sift to remove all grit; then add gradually the palm oil and petrola- tum, incorporating thoroughly. Add oil of myrbane or oil of lavender to suit. By substituting your red ashes from stove coal, an inferior representative of the foregoing paste will be produced. XOX-SECRET FORMULAS. 229 3451.

Coal tar, wagon grease. ■ Soap, oil of turpen- tine, alternating with a stream of water. Rub with lard, then soap it well. After a time wash alternately with water and turpentine. The same ; but use benzine instead of turpentine, and the water must fall on it from some height. Acids. Red acid stains are destroyed by ammonia, followed by thorough washing with water. Brown stains of nitric acid are permanent. With the above table, a few simple chemi- cals, and a good deal of care and persever- ance, any one may set up a chemical cleaning establishment. Great pains must be taken when ether and benzine are employed to avoid their taking fire, the vapor of which when mixed with air is highly explosive. An open bottle of ether will take fire at a distance of several feet from an open flame, as a heavy invisible vapor issues from the bottle; when the vapor reaches the flame of a lamp the whole mass of vapor takes fire. — Muster Zeit. 230 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 2452. Scouring: Bricks. Scouring brick may be made by mixing sand ■with a small percentage of clay and baking. The quantity and heat required may be easily ascertained by trial. Mucilage and gums may be used, but they are not equal to clay as a cement for scouring brick. A very small por- tion of Portland cement might be made avail- able, to avoid the baking process. 2453. To Clean Shawls. White woolen shawls will not always stand washing successfully. A safe way to clean such an article is to brush all the dust out, spread it on a table, then sprinkle over it a quantity of finely ground white starch (rice or potato, not wheat); fold up the shawl into a square, powdering liberally between each fold. The shawl should be put away for sev- eral hours, and then be opened and dusted. The starch will have absorbed all the grease that may have been present and collected the dust. If such shawls are very dirty, they may be pressed between two damp blankets before the starch is put on. Gray and light blue woolen shawls may be treated in the same way, only using slightly blued starch in- stead of pure white starch. The shawls must be well shaken to get rid of the powder. 2454. Laun drying of Shirts. A (Chinese Method.) A rather thick starch paste is prepared by first beating up a handful of raw starch, usu- ally corn starch, and a teaspoonful of fine rice flour, with about 1 quart of water, making a liquid of creamlike consistence. A certain quantity (determined alone by personal ex- perience) is poured into a quantity of boiling water, while the latter js violently stirred with a short wooden spatula. With this the portions of the linen to be dressed are well smeared, the linen moist from wringing and the starch quite hot. Thus smeared the pieces are laid aside for a few minutes, then rubbed well between the hands, so that the paste is well distributed in the fabric. The linen is then usually dried by artificial heat. When ready for ironing, the starched portions are dampened by means of a cloth dipped in raw starch water, to which has been added a small quantity — about % an ounce to the quart of blood albumen — clarified serum of bullock's blood. The proportion of starch in this water is usually about as 1 to 50 of water. In ironing the irons are first, made very hot, and cooled somewhat externally just before using by momentarily plunging them into*a pail of water. The irons, commonly employed are what are termed polishing irons — they have the posterior edge rounded in- stead of angular, as in the ordinary smoothing or sadiron. Much of the fine gloss observed on shirts laundried by Chinamen is accom- plished by the skillful, manipulation of this "rounded edge" over the work — a manipula- tion very difficult to describe in words. It is most laborious work for those not accus- tomed to it. It not only renders the surface glossy, but imparts easy flexibility to the heavilv starched fabric otherwise not attain- able. Custom made shirts are usually laun- dried before delivery in trade at the factory, the ironing in these cases being largely per- formed by steam mangles, though some are hand finished. The following recipe for a laundry starch is said to produce a very fine and lasting gloss on linen without the ex- penditure of the amount of labor in ironing usually requisite to produce a fair appear- ance: Corn starch 1 ounce. Water, boiling 17-8 pints. Bluing q. s. To this when it has cooled somewhat is added and thoroughly mixed in about half an ounce of the following preparation: Gum arabic 8 3-5 parts. Sugar, loaf 2% parts. Soap, white curd % part. Water glass ("A" syrup) 1 part. Egg albumen 4 parts. Water, warm 20 parts. In preparing this the first three ingre- dients are dissolved together in the water at boiling heat, the water glass is then added, and when the mixture has cooled down to about 150° Fah. the egg albumen is put in and the whole w 7 ell beaten together. 2455. Laundrying of Shirts. B Starch 1 ounce. Paraffin 3 drams (about). White Sugar 1 tablespoonful. Table salt 1 tablespoonful. Water q. s. Rub up the starch wdth soft water into a thick smooth paste. Add nearly or quite a pint of boiling water, with the salt and sugar dissolved in it, and, having dropped in the paraffin, boil for at least half an hour, stir- ring to prevent burning. Strain the starch and use while hot. Sufficient bluing may be added to the w r ater, previous to tbe boiling, to overcome the yellowish cast of the starch, if necessary. Spermaceti may be used in place of paraffin. Starched linen can only be properly finished by hard pressure applied to the iron. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 231 2456. Glossed Shirt Bosoms. A Take 2 ounces of fine white gum arabic powder, put it in a pitcher and pour on a pint or' more of water, and then, having covered it, let it stand all night. In the morning, pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bot- tle, cork, and keep it for use. A teaspoonful of gum water stirred in a pint of starch, made in the usual way, will give to lawns, white or printed, a look of newness, when nothing else can restore them, after they have been washed. 2457. Glossed Shirt Bosoms. B Melt 2% pounds of the very best par- affin wax over a slow fire. When liquefied remove from the fire and stir in 100 drops oil of citronella. Have some new round pie tins; place them on a level table, coat them slightly with sweet oil, and pour about six table- spoonfuls of the enamel into each tin. The pan may be floated in water to cool the con- tents sufficiently to permit the mixture to be cut or stamped out with a tin cutter into small cakes about the size of a peppermint lozenge. Two of these cakes added to each pint of starch will cause the smoothing iron to impart the finest possible finish to muslin or linen, besides perfuming the clothes. 2458. Glossed Shirt Bosoms. C Take of white wax, 1 ounce; spermaceti, 2 ounces; melt them together with a gentle heat. When you have prepared a sufficient amount of starch, in the usual way, for a dozen pieces, put into it a piece of the polish about the size of a large pea; using more or less, according to large or small washings. Or thick gum solution (made by pouring boil- ing water upon gum arabic) may be used. One tablespoonful to a pint of starch gives clothes a beautiful gloss. 2459. To Clean Shoes. Defaced kid boots will be greatly improved by being rubbed well with a mixture of cream and ink. 24G0. To Clean White Satin Shoes. Put in the shoe something which will fill it out. Then rub the shoe gently with a piece of muslin dipped in spirits of wine. Do this several tinips. Then wipe the shoe carefully with a piece of dry muslin. calcined magnesia with pure benzine, so that a mass is formed sufficiently moist to let i a drop form when pressed. The mixture has i to be preserved in glass bottles with ground stoppers, in order to retain the easily volatile benzine. A little of the mixture is placed on a wad of cotton and applied to the glass plate. Do not use near a fire or light, as the benzine J vapor is very inflammable and explosive. 2462. Silk Cleaner. Soft soap % pound. Brandy 2 teaspoonfuls. Proor spirit 1 pint. Water 1 pint. Mix well together. Apply with a sponge on each side of the silk, taking care not to crease the silk. Rinse 2 or 3 times and iron on the wrong side, put- ting a piece of thin muslin between the silk and the iron. 2463. To Clean Silk. Xo silks look well after washing, no matter how carefully it may be done, and, therefore, i it should never be resorted to without abso- I lute necessity. It is recommended to sponge faded silks with warm water and soap, and then to rub them with a dry cloth on a flat board, after which, to iron them on the inside with a smoothing iron. Sponging a little with spirits will also improve old black silks. The ironing may be done on the right side, with thin paper spread over them to prevent glaz- ing. 2464. To Clean White Silk. White silk is best cleaned by dissolving curd soap in water as hot as the hand can ; bear, and passing the silk through and ! through, handling it gently, and rubbing any spots till they disappear. The silk should j then be rinsed in lukewarm water, and ! stretched by pins to dry. 2465. To Clean Black Silk. To bullock's gall add boiling water sufficient to make it warm, and with a clean sponge rub the silk well on both sides; squeeze it well out, and proceed in like manner. Rinse it in spring water, and change the water until per- j fectly clean Dry it in the air, and pin it out on a table; but first dip the sponge in glue water, and rub it on the wrong side; then dry before a fire. 2466.

White silks can be cleaned with a dry powder formed of fine starch and a little laundry blue. Rub over the tissue and dust out thor- oughly. Bread crumbs or chalk should be used for pink or cream colored silks. Silks may be ironed on the wrong side with a moderately hot iron, or on the right side (to give the fine luster) if well protected by two folds of slightly damped muslin. 3467. To Clean Silver. A Silver articles discolored by sulphureted hydrogen may be cleaned by rubbing them with a boiling saturated solution of borax. Another goo'd preparation is a solution of caustic ootash with some bits of metallic zinc. 3468. To Clean Silver. B Silver which has become much tarnished may be restored by immersion in a warm solu- tion of 1 part cyanide of potassium to 8 parts of water. (This mixture is extremely poison- ous.) Washing well with water, and drying, will produce a somewhat dead-white appear- ance, which may be quickly changed to a brilliant luster by polishing with a soft leather and. rouge. 3469. To Clean Silver. C Wash in hot soapsuds (use the silver soap if convenient); then clean with a paste of whiting and whisky. Polish with buckskin. If silver was always washed in hot suds, rinsed well, and wiped dry, it would seldom need anything else. 3470. To Clean Silver. » A fresh concentrated solution of hyposul- phite of soda will dissolve at once the coat of sulphide of silver, which is the cause of the blackness produced by mustard, eggs, etc., or anything containing sulphur. 3471. To Clean Silver. E Add gradually 8 ounces of prepared chalk to a mixture of 2 ounces of spirits of tur- pentine, 1 ounce of alcohol, % ounce of spirits of camphor, and 2 drams of aqua ammonia. Apply with a soft sponge, and allow it to dry before polishing. 3473. Silver Cleaning Compound. A Ammonium carbonate .... 1 ounce. Water 4 ounces. Paris white 16 ounces. Mix well, and apply by means of soft leather. 3473. Silver Cleaning Compound. B Rouge (very fine) and prepared chalk, equal parts; use dry. 3474. Silver Cleaning Compound. C Whiting (fine) 2 parts. White oxide of tin 1 part. Calcined hartshorn 1 part. 3475. To Remove Yellow Coating from Silver Spoons. Dissolve 1 ounce cyanide of potassium in 1 quart of soft water and you will have a dip in which you can wash your spoons and in- stantly remove the sulphide of silver. The solution must be kept in a bottle that is tightly corked and labeled "poison." 3476. Egg spoons get tarnished by the sulphur in the egg uniting with the silver. This tarnish is a sulphuret of silver, and may be removed by rubbing with wet salt or ammonia. It may be exposed to uniform heat, and then boiled in strong alum water. 3477. To Remove Ink Stains from Silver. Make a paste of chloride of lime and water and rub upon the stains. 3478. To Restore the Color of Filigree Silver Jewelry. How can the original white color of silver filigree jewelry be restored when tarnished by wear or shop worn? A. First wash the arti- cles in a solution of 1 fluid ounce of liquid potassa in 20 of water, rinse and then im- merse in a mixture of salt, 1 part; alum, 1 part; saltpeter, 2 parts; dissolved in 4 parts water. Let them remain for five ' minutes ; wash in cold water and dry with chamois leather. 3479. To Prepare and Bleaeh Skeletons. It is impossible to extract the oily material from the bones except by a very slow process. Boiling in any amount of alkali, say washing soda, will not accomplish it, and all the oil must be absolutely removed before you can do anything toward the bleaching. Very long maceration in water alone or in soda and water will eventually effect it, but a much better material is benzine. Make a tin box into which you pack your skeleton, solder on the cover, leaving only a round hole for filling. Pour in benzine till the box is filled, stop the hole closely, and leave it undisturbed for three months. The skeleton will come out NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 233 clean, and can be bleached perfectly by sun- light. Chlorine will do the bleaching quicker, but it injures the bones; never use it. Any shorter process will give you a skeleton that is always nasty. 2480. To Remove Silver Nitrate Stains. In the manipulation of the nitrate of silver bath solutions in photography, the operator frequently receives stains of the salt upon his clothing, which are not very attractive in ap- pearance. Stains or marks of any kind made with the above silver solution or bath solu- tion may be promptly removed from the cloth- ing by simply Averting the stain or mark with a solution of bichromate of mercury. The chemical result is the change of the black- looking nitrate of silver into chromate of silver, which is whiter or invisible on the cloth. Bichromate of mercury can be obtained at the drug stores. 2481. Sodiuja sulphite 1 ounce. Chloride of lime % ounce. "Water 2 ounces. Mix. Use a nail brush. 2483. Dip the fingers into a strong solution of cupric chloride. In about a minute the silver will be converted into a chloride, and may then be washed off with hyposulphate of soda solution. 2483. The immediate and repeated application of a very weak solution of cyanide of potassium {accompanied by thorough rinsings in clean water) will generally remove these without injury to the colors. 2484. How to Remove Nitrate of Silver Stains from the Fingers. — Paint the blackened parts with tincture of iodine; let remain until the black becomes white. The skin will then be red, but by applying ammonia the iodine will be bleached, leaving white instead of black stains of nitrate of silver. 2485. Nitrate of silver stains may be removed by rubbing them with a weak solution of sul- phydrate of ammonium or strong solution of iodide of potassium. 2486. Soap for Removing Stains. Take 22 pounds of the best white soap and reduce it to thin shavings. Place it in a boiler, together with water, 8.8 pounds: ox- gall, 18.25 pounds. Cover up and allow to re- main at rest all night. In the morning heat up gently and regulate it so that the soap may dissolve without stirring. When the whole is homogeneous and flows smoothly, part of the water having been vaporized, add turpent ne, 0.55 pounds; benzine, best clear, 0.44 pounds; and mix well. While still in the state of fusion color with green ultramarine and ammonia, pour into moulds and stand for a few days before using. The product will be found to act admirably, and the yield is very good indeed. — Mouiteur de la Teinture. 2487. To Clean Sponges. "In a large basin mix about a pint of water and 2 tablespoonfuls of sulphuric acid (com- mon oil of vitriol), then steep the sponge about two hours, wring it out several times in the acid, and finally well wash out the acid acid in clean water; it was then just like new, having regained its former size, color and elasticity, with not the slightest trace of its former sliminess. It was a large bath sponge, and in an extremely bad condition." — English Mechanic. 3488. To Remove Spots and Stains. Taking out grease and other spots from clothes is an application of chemistry which has a practical interest for everybody. It demands a certain acquaintance with solvents and reagents, even though we may not under- stand the laws of chemical affinity on which their action depends. The general principle is the applying to the spot a substance which has a stronger affinity for the matter com- posing it than this has for cloth, and which shall render it soluble in some liquid, so that it can be washed out. At the same time it must be something that will not injure the texture of tne fabric or change its color. The practical hints we shall give are condensed from a variety of foreign sources. 2489. The best substances for removing grease or oil are: 1. Benzine. 2. Soap. 3. Chalk, fuller's earth, steatite, or "French chalk." These should be merely diffused through a little water to form a thin paste, which is spread upon the spot, allowed to dry. and then brush out. 4. Oxgall and yolk of egg which have the property of dissolving fatty ' bodies without affecting perceptibly the tex- i ture or colors of cloth. The oxgall should be 234 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. purified to prevent its greenish tint from de- grading the brilliancy of dyed stuffs or the purity of whites. Thus prepared it is the most effective of all substances known for removing this kind of stains, especially from woolen cloths. It is to be diffused through its own bulk of water, applied to the spots, rubbed well into them with the hands till they disappear, after which the stuff is to be washed with soft water. 5. The volatile oil of turpentine. This 1 will take out only recent stains; for which purpose it ought to be previously purified by distillation over quicklime. 2490. The following recipes deal especially with the garment dyer: 1. Steam has the prop- erty of softening fatty matters, and thus facilitating their removal by reagents. 2. Sulphuric acid may be employed in cer- tain cases, especiallv to brighten and raise greens, reds, and yellows; but it must be diluted with at least 100 times its weight of water and more, according to the delicacy of the shaaes. 3. Muriatic acid is used with success for removing spots of ink and iron mould upon a great number of colors which it does not sensibly affect. 4. Sulphurous acid is only used for bleach- ing undyed goods, straw hats, etc., and for re- moving fruit stains upon white woolen and silk tissues. The fumes of burning sulphur are also employed for this object, but the liquid acid (or a solution of the bisulphite — not bisulphate — of soda or magnesia) is safer. 5. Oxalic acid serves for removing spots of ink and iron and the residues of mud spots, which do not yield to other cleansing agents. It may also be employed for destroying the stains of fruit and of astringent juices, and stains of urine which have become old upon any tissue. Nevertheless, it is best con- fined to undyed goods, as it attacks not merely fugitive colors, but certain of the lighter fast colors. The best method of ap- plying it is to dissolve it in cold or lukewarm water, and to let a little of the solution re- main upon the spot before rubbing it with the hands. 6. Citric acid serves to revive and raise certain colors, especially greens and yellows; it destroys the effect of alkalies and any bluish or crimson spots which appear upon scarlets. In its stead acetic acid may be em- ployed. 7. Liquid ammonia is the most energetic and useful agent employed for cleaning tis- sues and silk hats, and for quickly neutraliz- ing the effects of acids. In the latter case it is often sufficient to expose the goods to the fumes of this alkali in order to remove such spots entirely. Ammonia gives a violet cast to all shades produced with cochineal, lac, the redwoods or logwood, and all colors topped with cochineal. It does not deteriorate silks, but at elevated temperatures it perceptibly at- tacks woolens. It serves to restore the black upon silks damaged by damp. 8. The carbonate of soda (soda crystals) serves equally in most of the cases where am- monia is employed. It is good for hats affected by sweat. 9. Soda and potash only serve for white goods, of linen, hemp, or cotton; for these alkalies attack colors and injure the tenacity and suppleness of woolen and silk. For the same reason white soap is only to be recom- mended for cleaning white woolen tissues. 10. Mottled soaps serve for cleaning heavy stuffs of woolen or cotton, such as quilts; for such articles which do not require great sup- pleness or softness of feel the action of the soap may be enhanced by the addition of a small quantity of potash. 11. Soft potash soaps may be usefully em- ployed in solution, along with gum arabic or other mucilaginous matters, for cleaning dyed goods, and especially self-colored silks. This composition is preferable to white or marbled soaps, as it removes the spots better and at- tacks the colors much less. , 12. Oxgall, which can be obtained from the butchers in a sort of membraneous bag (the so-called gall bladder), has the property of dissolving the majority of fatty bodies with- out injuring either the color or the fiber. It may be used preferably to soap for cleaning woolens; but it should not be employed for cleaning stuffs of light and delicate colors, which it may spoil by giving them a greenish yellow, or even a deep green tint. It is mixed also with other matters, such as oil of tur- pentine, alcohol, honey, yelk of egg, clay (ful- ler's earth), etc., and in this state is used for cleaning silks. 13. To obtain a satisfactory result gall ought to be very fresh. To preserve it a simple method is to tie the neck of the gall bladder well with a string, and hold the bladder in boiling water for some time. This being done, it is taken out and let dry in the sha"de. 14. Yelk of egg possesses nearly the same properties as oxgall, but is much more costly. It must be used as quickly as possible, for it losses its efficacy with keeping. It is some- times mixed with an equal bulk of oil of tur- pentine. — Moniteur de la Teinture, j. XON-SECRET FORMULAS. 235 2491. To Remove Spots made by Stearin Sperm Candles. 1. For all kinds use 95 per cent alcohol. 2. Scrape off as much as possible with a knife then lay a thin, soft white blotting paper upon the spots and press with a warm iron. By repeating this the spermaceti will be drawn out. Afterward, rub the cloth where the spots have been with some very soft, brownish paper. 2493. To Clean Stones. To remove grease from stone steps or passages, pour strong soda and water boiling hot over the spot, lay on it a little fuller's earth made into a thin paste with boiling water, let it remain all night, and if the grease be not removed, repeat the process. Grease may sometimes be taken out by rub- bing the spot with a hard stone — not hearth- stone — using sand and very hot water, with soap and soda. 2493. Spots of Sugar, Glue, Blood, Albumen. On white goods, on dyed tissues of cotton and wool, and on silk, simple washing with water. 2494. To Cleanse and Bleach Tallow. Dissolve 1 pound of alum in 2 gallons of water: the water should be boiling. Xow add 20 pounds of tallow and continue to boil for about an hour, skimming frequently. Strain through stout muslin and allow it to harden. 2495. Jackman's "Washing Compound. Six pounds sal soda, 1 pound borax, dissolve in 1 gallon boiling water. When cold, add 1-3 pound potassium carbonate, 3 ounces liquid ammonia, 4 spoonfuls alcohol. Boil for five minutes % pound fresh, unslaked lime in 1 gallon water. Draw off the clear fluid when thoroughly settled. Add to this the other ingredients with 9 gallons cold, water. Directions for using: Soak the clothes over night, after rubbing soft soap on the dirty places. In the morning add % pint of the compound, % pint soft soap, and 4 gallons hot water. Boil not more than five minutes, and turn into a tub, putting into your boiler the same mixture as before. Wring the clothes Into this and boil again ten minutes, suds, blue, and hang them out to dry. Should the wristbands or parts that are very dirty need a little rubbing, it should be done while the mixture is boiling. 2496. Wash Mixture. A Wash Mixture. — Take 5 pounds bar soap, shave fine, add 1 quart lye, H ounce p^arlash. dissolved over a slow fire. When dissolved. put into a vessel prepared for it to s'tand in; then add % pint turpentine, 1 gill hartshorn; stir well, and it is ready for use. 2497. Wash Mixture. B Dissolve y 2 pound soda in 1 gallon boiling water, and pour upon it % pound lime. After this has settled, cut up 10 ounces of common bar soap, and strain the solution upon it and mix perfectly. Great care must be taken that no particles of lime are poured upon the soap. Prepare the mixture the evening before wash- Directions: To 10 gallons water add the above preparation when the water is boiling. Each lot of linen must boil half an hour, and the same liquid will answer for three batches of clothes. The white clothes must be put in soak over night, and if the collars and wrist- bands are soaped and rubbed slightly, so much the better. Clean cold water may be used for rinsing. Some prefer boiling them for a few moments in clean bluing water, and afterward rinse in cold water. 2498. Wash Mixture. C The following compound is said greatly to facilitate the washing of clothes: Dissolve 2 pounds bar soap in about 3 gallons of water as hot as the hand can bear. Add 1 table- spoonful of turpentine and 3 of ammonia. Stir, and steep the clothes in this for three hours, keeping the vessel tightly covered. Then wash the clothes in the usual way. The soap and water may be used a second time, in which case a teaspoonful of turpen- tine ana the same amount of ammonia must j be added. This treatment is calculated to save much labor in cleansing summer clothes stained by fruit, etc. 2499. Wash Mixture. J> The German washerwomen use a mixture of 2 ounces turpentine and 1 ounce spirits of ammonia well mixed together. This is put into a bucket of warm water in which one-half pound soap has been dissolved. The clothes are immersed for twenty-four hours and then washed. The cleansing is said to be greatly quick sued, and two or three rinsings in cold water remove the turpentine smell. 2500. Wash Mixture. E Borax is valuable for laundry use, instead of soda. Add a handful of it, powdered, to about 10 gallons of boiling water, and you need use only half the ordinary allowance of soap. For laces, cambrics, etc., use an extra quantity of tbe powder. It will not injure the texture of the cloth in the least. 236 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 3501. Washing Powders. Hager, in Phar. Centralhalle, gives the fol- lowing analyses: 1. The so-called English Washing Crystal is an impure, half efflorescent crystallized soda, containing a large proportion of sul- phate of soda and common salt. 2. Under the name of Washing Crystals simply a filtered solution of borax and soda has been introduced. 3. The English Patent Cleansing Crystal Washing Powder is a half efflorescent soda, containing about 25 per cent of Glauber's salts. 4. The Washing and Cleansing Crystals {Harper Twelvetrees & Sons), are pure cry- stallized soda, with 1 to 2 per cent of borax. 5. Krimmelbein's Wool Washing Composi- tion is a mixture of 35 parts of dried soda, 10 parts of soap powder, and 10 parts of sal am- moniac. 6. Ward's Wool Washer is a mixture of 90 parts of effloresced soda crystals with 10 parts of soap powder. 7. The Universal Washing Powder (Hen- kel's) is a water glass containing soda, with a small percentage of tallow soap and starch powder. 8. Hudson's Soap Extract is a mixture of crystallized soda and soda soap, containing water (soap 14:3, anhydrous soda 30, and water 55) . 9. A washing powder for the finest white linen is a powdery mixture of 90 parts of effloresced soda with 10 parts of hyposulphite of soda and 2 parts of borax. 10. The so-called Finest Brilliant Elastic Starch is a mixture of about 7 to 8 parts of stearine, with 100 parts of wheaten starch weather and the kind of tallow, grease or oil \ used; from fifteen to twenty minutes will be i enougn. When the mixing is completed, pour j off the liquid soap into any old square box for a mould sufficiently large to hold it, pre- j viously dampening the sides with water so | as to prevent the soap sticking. Wrap up the ; box well with old blankets, or, better still, I out it in .", warm place until the next day, i when the box will contain a block of 130 pounds of soap, which can afterward be cut up with a wire. Remember the chief points in the above directions, which must be ex- actly followed. The lye must be allowed to | cool. If melted tallow or grease be used, it j must not be more than warm. The exact weights of double refined 98 per cent pow- dered caustic soda and tallow or oil must be taken; also the lye must be stirred into the grease, not grease or oil added to the lye. If the grease or tallow used be not clean or contains salt it must be rendered, or purified, previous to use, that is to say, boiled with water, and allowed to become hard again to throw out the impurities. Any salt present will spoil the whole operation entirely, but discolored or rancid grease or tallow is just as good as fresh for soap making purposes. If the soap turn out streaky and uneven it has not been thoroughly mixed. If very sharp to the taste too much soda has been taken. If soft, mild and greasy, too little soda has been used. In either case it must now be thrown into a pan and brought to a boil with a little more water. In the first case boiling is all that is necessary; in the other instances a very little oil or a very little more of the double refined powdered caustic soda must be added to the water. These things will never happen, however, if the di- rections are exactly followed, and after the soap has been made several times with the experience thus gained the process is ex- tremely easy and the result will be always a good batch of soap. Beef tallow makes the hardest soap, mutton fat a rather softer soap; of oils, cotton seed is the cheapest and best, but the soap is much softer, lathering very freely indeed. Ordinary household fat or dripping will make a nice soap and in many places can be obtained at a very trifling cost, and in exchange for goods sold. Such grease, however, must be carefully examined for salt, which it often contains. It will be evident that any smaller quantity of soap can be made at a time, according to the above directions, by taking the ingredients in exact proportion. It is not advisable to make more than double the quantity prescribed, as it is difficult to work more by hand. By making successive batches, however, a single person can make two tons of soap in a day simply with ap- paratus (pans, etc.), obtainable in any house- hold. By adding a few drops of essential oil just when the mixing is completed a toilet soap is produced. Oil of mirbane (artificial almond oil) is the cheapest, but the perfume is not nearly so pleasant as real almond oil, citron- ella or oil of cloves. If made with clean grease or tallow or light colored oil, the soap produced is quite white. Sometimes a little coloring matter will make the soap sell better, although of no better quality. Half an ounce of bichromate of potash ash dissolved in the lye will give a green; I pound palm oil melted with the tallow or oil. a yellow color; or a good brown can be got by burning % pound of sugar in a saucepan until black, then dissolving it in a pint of water, and adding it to the melted tallow before mixing. A very cheap and good jelly soft soap can be made with the above soap. Take 5 pounds of the hard soap, crush it down or cut it up into as small pieces as possible; put this into a pan or boiler with 10 pallous of water if a strong hard tallow soap; If an oil soap only 238 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. half the quantity of water (five gallons); just bring it to a boil, and stir well, to thoroughly dissolve all the pieces of hard soap; pour or ladle it into any can, tub or barrel that is tight, and leave it to cool for two or three days. This will give about 80 pounds of jelly soft soap, at an exceedingly small cost. Of course, if made from colored and scented hard soap it will be a colored and scented jelly soap. This is; a good way cf working up the scraps and bits of soap after cutting up. It can be sold with a good profit at a very low figure and often as a substitute for regular soft soap. It is a very different article, how- ever, to a real potash soft soap, which should invariably be used for washing woolens. It is possible to produce this real potash soft soap in the cold by a somewhat similar pro- cess to the above. 2511. Washing Powder Compound. Sal. soda, dried 4 ounces. Muriate of ammonia, powd. 4 ounces. Soda ash 4 pounds. The ingredients should be well dried before mixing. Directions: Put the clothes to soak over night in clear water. Then put the boiler on the stove half full of cold water and dissolve one tablespoonful of compound in a little water and add to the boiler. Stir well. Now put in the clothes and boil twenty minutes, then take them out and rub lightly and rinse and hang out to dry, and you will be surprised to see how much labor is saved. Will not injure the clothes. It saves one-half the labor. Try it, &c. 3513. Wash Bluing. Ferrocyanuret of iron 6 ounces. Oxalic acid 1% ounces. Water distilled 2 gallons. Dissolve the iron and acid in a quart of the water, and add the remaining 1% gallons. This makes a good article of bluing. 3513. Indigo Wash Bluing. Best bengal indigo 5 pounds. Strong sulphuric acid 30 pounds. After 5 days, place mixture in a tub and pour on 40 gallons boiling water. 2514. Bluing for Laundry Use. Sci. Am. Cyclo. 1. Dissolve indigo sulphate in cold water and filter. 2. Dissolve good cotton blue (aniline blue .6 B) in cold water. 3. Dissolve fine Prussian or Berlin blue with Ys part of oxalic acid in water; or use ferro- cyanide of potassium (1/12 part) in place of ox- alic acid. 4. Dissolve 7 oz. of yellow prussiate of pot- ash in 2.1 pints of water. Make a solution of sesquichloride of iron which shall contain 1 part of the solid salt by weight to every 10 parts of water by weight. Take equal vol- umes of the two solutions, and add to each twice its volume of cold concentrated solution of sulphate of soda. Finally, mix the two so- lutions thus obtained. The solid Prussian blue will immediately precipitate. This may be put upon a filter and washed, being kept exposed to the air for perhaps fifteen or twenty days. The excess of soluble salts will first be washed away, and then the latter washings will dissolve the blue, forming a deep-blue liquid, which may be used for prepa- rations of bluing for clothing. It is, however, better to buy the soft Prussian blue than to attempt to prepare it on a small scale. 1 oz. of the soft Prussian blue powdered, and put into a bottle with 1 qt. of clear rain water, acidulated by % of an oz. of oxalic acid, is a good preparation. A very small portion suffices for a large amount of clothing. 3515. A Disinfective Laundry Blue. Mix together 16 parts of Prussian blue, 2 parts of carbolic acid, 1 part of borax, and 1 part of gum arabic into a stiff dough. Roll it out into balls as large as hazel nuts, and coat them with gelatine or gum to prevent the carbolic acid from escaping. 3516. A Liquid Washing Blue. Water 15 parts; dissolve in this iy 2 parts indigo-carmine. Add % part gum arabic. 3517. Silverine. We have found the following silver-clean- ing preparation excellent: Precipitated chalk 1 ounce. Solution of ammonia 1 ounce. Wood alcohol 1% ounces. Water to 10 ounces. Mix: The following label is a suitable one: SILVERINE. A New Preparation.

TO CLEAN BRASS. The Government method prescribed for cleaning brass, and in use at all the United States arsenals, is claimed to be the best in the world. The plan is to make a mixture of 1 part common nitric acid and one-half part sulphuric acid, in a stone jar, haying also ready a pail of fresh water and a box of saw- dust. The articles to be treated are dipped into the acid, then removed into the water, and finally rubbed with sawdust. This im- mediately changes them to a brilliant color. If the brass has become greasy, it is first dipped in a strong solution of potash and soda in warm water; this cuts the grease, so that the acid has free power to act. 2518. Brass Paste. A Rotten stone 2 pounds. Soft soap 1 pound. Oil of amber 1 ounce. 2519. Brass Paste. B Oxalic acid 2 ounces. Soft soap y 2 pound. Sweet oil y 2 pound. Turpentine 1 ounce. Rotten stone 4% pounds. Boiling water 16 ounces. Dissolve the acid in the water, add the rot- ten stone, and, finally, the other ingredients. 2520. Gilding Powder. For gilding such metals as copper and silver the following powder is said by Martin to give good results: Gold chloride 20 parts. Potassium cyanide 60 parts. Cream of tartar 5 parts. Precipitated chalk 100 parts. Before using, the powder is to be mixed with 100 parts of water, and rubbed upon the metal with a pad of cotton-wool. 2521. L.acquers Not Requiring Heat for Metals. A Shellac 5 ounces. Gamboge 5 drams. Pyro-acetic ether (acetone) . 30 ounces. S. V. M 3 pints. 2522. B Shellac 1 ounce. Dragon's blood 1 dram. Annatto 1 dram. Saffron 4 drams. Gamboge 2 ounces. Sandarac 1 ounce. S. V. M 2 pints. 2523. C Shellac 2 ounces. Dragon's blood 1 dram. Annatto 8 drams. Turmeric 4 ounces. Sandarac 8 ounces. S. V. M 2 pints. These give: A, pale yellow; B, fine pale; C, pale gold. Cold lacquers are like the cold-water starches — it greatly depends upon the directions for success in their use. The lacquering-room must be sufficiently warm to ensure absence of moisture from the surface of the metal, and to prevent blister- ing and scaling off of the varnish. Cold lac- quers require at least two days before they are sufficiently hard; longer should be given if possible. 2524. D Gold, green, and light blue. The following is a good basis. Use aniline colors; for gold, turmeric or gamboge. Turpentine 8 ounces. Linseed oil (boiled) 4 ounces. Fused amber 4 ounces. Shellac 1 ounce. Dissolve with heat. 2525. Brass Paste. C Rotten stone in finest pow- der 4 ounces. Oxalic acid 1 ounce. Sweet oil iy 2 ounces. Turpentine. .. .q. s. to make a paste. Coloring matter may be added if desired. 2526. Silver Plating Paste. Nitrate of silver % ounce. Common salt jounce. Cyanide of potassium 1 ounce. Chalk a sufficiency. Dissolve the silver nitrate in a pint of water, and add the salt-dissolved in as much water. Mix the solutions, and collect the pre- cipitate on a piece of cotton cloth. Transfer the moist precipitate to a mortar containing the cyanide (in powder), and dissolve by ad- ding more water if necessary; then make the solution into a spreadable paste with prepared chalk. 240 NON-SECRET FORMULAS. To silver any tarnished article spread some of the paste upon the spot, and leave for a few hours ; then brush it off. Repeat if neces- sary. The result is not so good as by elec- tro-deposition, but home-made things are never so good as those produced by experts. 8537. Polishing Paste for Brass. D Tripoli 1 pound. Spanish whiting 1 pound. Pumice (finest powder) % pound. Oleic acid 4 ounces. Petrolatum q. s. to make a soft paste. The oleic acid and petrolatum to be the crude commercial articles. 3538. The red polishing-paste for metals is made according to the following formula: Peroxide of iron 6 ounces. Kieselguhr 1 ounce. Paraffin oil 1V 2 ounces. The powders are to be in as fine a state of division as possible. Mix them, add the par- affin oil. then make into a paste with equal parts of lard and crude vaseline, and perfume with oil of mirbane. 3539. Silverine Solution. Cyanide of potassium 2 ounces. Nitrate of silver q. s. or 1 oz. Distilled water 12 ounces. Precipitated chalk 2 ounces. Dissolve the cyanide in the water and add to it a concentrated solution of nitrate silver as long as the precipitate found at first is re- dissolved, and lastly mix in the chalk. This liquid is applied with a soft bit of linen. The piece when silvered is well washed with water and the surface dried and gently pol- ished with chamois skin. For gilding substitute chloride of gold for. nitrate of silver. 3530. Slove Blacking. (Sci. Am. Cyclo.) Mix 2 parts of black lead, 4 parts of cop- peras, and 2 parts of bone black, with water, so as to form a creamy paste. This is an ex- cellent polish, as the copperas produces a jet black enamel, causing the black lead to adhere to tne iron. 3531. r Plumbago, 2 lb. ; water, 8 oz. ; turpentine, 8 oz. ; sugar, 2 oz. Knead thoroughly and keep in tin boxes. Apply with a brush. 3533. Plumbago, make into a thin paste with so- dium silicate or water glass. This makes an excellent stove polish and should be brushed thoroughly. 3533. Pulverized black lead, 2 lb.; spirits of tur- pentine, 2 gal.; water, 2 oz. ; sugar, 2 oz. Mix. 3534. Mix 5 parts black lead, 5 parts bone black and 10 parts of iron sulphate. Use water q. s. to form a paste. This is an excellent prep- aration and the coating is very permanent. 3535. Reduce graphite to an impalpable powder by grinding in a mill with water, dry; use with water first, then dry and polish. This is the base of nearly all commercial stove pol- ishes. 3536. Turpentine and black varnish, put with any good stove polish, is the blacking used by hardware dealers for polishing heating stoves. If properly put on, it will last throughout the season. 3537. Paste Stove Polish. Pulverized black lead, 2 lb.; spirits of tur- pentine, 2 gal.; water, 2 oz.; sugar, 2 oz.; mix. 3538. Liquid Stove Polish.

Separately dissolve the soap in the boiling water, and pour the two mixtures sim- ultaneously into a hot earthernware jug or jar. Stir for five minutes, and pour into wide mouthed bottles for sale. 2555. Furniture Creani. B Pearlash 2 ounces. Soft soap 4 ounces. Pure yellow wax 12 ounces. W a ter 20 ounces. Boil together until a uniform cream is ob- tained, adding a little more water from time to time, and stirring all the while; then trans- fer to a 2-gallon jar containing 2 pints of warm water. Cautiously add with shaking 30 oz. of oil of turpentine, and enough water to make 1 gallon. 2556. Furniture Paste. Yellow wax 8 ounces. Resin 2 ounces. Turpentine 16 ounces. Alkanet 1 ounce. Put the wax and resin in a 2-lb. or 3-lb. covered jar, and put the jar in a pan of water (with a layer of tow at the bottom). Heat until the wax and resin are melted; add the alka- net, and simmer for an hour or more. Then remove from the fire, add the turpentine, with constant stirring, and strain. Should the mixture not be hot enough for straining, heat carefully on the water-bath again. 3557. Taylor's Solution of Four Chlorides, Disinfectant. H. S. Taylor (Era Prize). Alum 10 ounces. Sal soda 10 ounces. Sal ammoniac 2 ounces. Common salt 2 ounces. Chlor. zinc 1 ounce. Muriatic acid, com'l q. s. Water q. s. to 1 gal. Dissolve the alum in one-half gallon of boil- ing water; then add the sal soda, which gives a precipitate of aluminum hydrate; muriatic acid is then added in sufficient quantity to dis- solve this precipitate, thereby forming alum- inum chloride. The other salts are then dissolved in the remainder of the water and added to the first solution. The advantages claimed for this preparation are cheapness, ease of preparation, odorless, non-poisonous, and its adaptability for general use. Its freedom from iron in the disinfec- tion of clothing is an important point in so much that it will not injure the fabric in any way. It commends itself for the disinfection of rooms by saturating a sheet with the di- luted solution and hanging up in any conven- ient place. This diluted solution may be made by mixing one pint of the concentrated solution with 1 gallon of water. 3558. Salicylic Acid Preservative Powder. For meat use water containing 5 grains in the pint; add 5 grains to the pint of milk; for preserved fruits add 3 or 4 grains to 1 lb., and cover with parchment paper steeped in a solu- tion of the acid containing about 20 grains to the pint. 3559.

The ingredients should be sifted separately into a mixing trough; sift the starch or flour first; then the acid, mix well and then sift the soda, mix again well using preferably a flat wooden paddle. Then put the powders into a mixing machine; or sift them well at least three times so as to ensure thorough mixing; if you have no mixing machine, you can mix the powders in one of those keg- shaped rectangular churns kept for sale by leading hardware dealers; be careful to have all your materials quite dry; moisture is de- trimental to the keeping properties of all baking powders especially so to those made with tartaric acid or cream of tartar. The starch in baking powders tends to preserve the quality unimpaired by preventing the acids from attacking the soda. 2595. Fruit Juices. I give instructions by which all confec- tioners may extract and preserve their own fruit essences, and so guard the health and add to the pleasure of all for whom they pro- vide. Among the juicy fruits are strawber- ries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries and currants; among non-juicy fruits are the ap- ples, pears, peaches, .quinces, apricots, and plums. Mash the juicy fruits in a basin to a pulp. Place on the fire and make scalding hot. Now pour into a hair sieve and allow *he juice to strain through. Put into bottles and se- curely tie down. Place these bottles in a caldron of cold water and boil for twenty minutes. Remove from the fire and allow to remain in the caldron until cold. Then set away for use. In the case of non-juicy fruits, such aa ap- ples, pears, peaches, etc., put the fruit into a basin. Cover with water and boil to a pulp. Now place on a hair sieve and allow to drain without any pressing. Observe now that it is only the liquor which passes through the sieve without pressing which is to be used for flav- oring purposes. What remains in the form of pulp is not adapted for these uses. Now put the juice obtained as above into bottles, and proceed to treat as already laid down for the juicy fruits. The foregoing processes are to be gone through with in the case where the extracts are to be kept transparent and clear, as for syrups, cordials and beverages. In case where the flavorings are to be used for any purpose where transparency or clear- ness is not desirable, such as for ice creams, fruit ices, or bonbons, then I would use not only the clear fluid, but the pulp of the fruit also. I would for these opaque purposes save and utilize everything of the fruit except the skins and seeds. This pulp is to be treated as already laid down. As thus obtained and preserved our confec- tioners can supply themselves with a quantity of perfectly pure extracts of all their favorite fruits, and which can always be at hand, for flavoring every description of pastry, cakes, pies, tarts, puddings, creams, ices and bever- ages, and at any season of the year. Espec- ially when there is any one in the house who is sick or feverish, cordials may be flavored with these delightful sub-acids — these reme- dies and restoratives of kind mother Nature herself — such as will shoot through all the veins of the most debilitated and infirm the most delicious sensations of happiness and hope. — James W. Parkinson, in Confectioners' Journal. 2596. Lemon Extract. Oil of lemon 8 ounces. Cologne spirits, 188 per cent 96 ounces. Water 24 ounces. Tincture of turmeric q. s. to color.

Place the sugar in a porcelain capsule and filter tht solution of iodide of iron into the sugai Rinse the flask and iron wire with two fluid ounces of distilled water and pass the washings through the filter into the sugar. Stir the mixture with a porcelain or wooden spatula; heat it to the boiling point on a sand bath and having strained the syrup through linen into a tared bottle; add enough distilled water to make the product measure 16 ounces. Lastly shake the bottle and transfer its con- tents to small vials which should be com- pletely filled, securely corked and kept in a cool dark place. 3647. Syrup of Iodide of Iron, Tasteless, N. F. Iodine 400 grains. Iron wire, fine bright and finely cut 200 grains. Citrate of potassium 620 grains. Sugar 10 troy oz. Distilled water q. s. to make 16 fl. ounces. Mix the iron with four fluid ounces of dis- tilled water in a flask; add 267 grains of the iodine and apply a gentle heat until the iodine is combined and the solution has acquired a greenish color. Then heat the contents of the flask to boiling; filter the liquid and wash the filter with one-half a fluid ounce of hot dis- tilled water. To the hot filtrate add the citrate of potassium and afterwards the re- mainder of the iodine and agitate until the liquid has assumed a greenish color; pour this upon the sugar contained in a bottle; agitate until solution has been affected and when the liquid is cold add enough distilled water to make 16 fluid ounces. Each fluid dram con- tains an amount of iron corresponding to about 3.6 grains of ferric iodide. The officinal syrup of iodide contains about S grains of ferrous iodide (protiodide of iron), in each fluid dram. The above preparation contains the iron in a ferric condition. 2648. Syrup of Iodide of Iron. Syrup of iodide of iron can be extemporan- eously prepared, says Miss Austa Worthrop in Pac. Drug. Rev., by placing 480 grains iodine in a flask, adding 2y 2 ounces water and by de- grees 150 grains reduced iron. When reaction has ceased, and the liquid has become green filter the solution into sufficient hot syrup (heated nearly to boiling point) to make 10 fluid ounces. Finally add a 50 per cent solu- tion of citric acid containing 10 grains of the acid. The syrup keeps well, and the method of preparation is a rapid one. 2649. Solution of Iodide of Iron, N. F. (For syrup of iodide of iron.) Iron wire, fine, bright and finely cut 3 troy oz. Iodine 4718 grains. Hypophosphorus acid (X. F.) 180 minims. Distilled water enough to make 16 fl. ounces. Mix the iron with 12 fluid ounces of dis- tilled water in a flask, add about one-half of the iodine, agitate continuously until the liquid becomes hot. Then moderate the reaction by placing the flask in cold water or by allowing cold water to flow over it, meanwhile, keep- ing up the agitation. When the reaction has moderated, add one-half of the remaining iodine at a time and carefully moderate the reaction each time, in the manner above di- rected. Finally raise the contents of the flask to boiling and filter immediately through moistened, pure filtering paper (the point of the filter being supported by a pellet of absorbent cotton), into a bottle containing the hypophosphorus acid. When all the liquid has passed through, rinse the flask with y 2 an ounce of boiling distilled water and pass this through the filter. Cork the bottle and set it aside to cool. Finally add enough dis- tilled water to make the product measure 16 fluid ounces. Each fluid dram contains about 45 grains of iodide of iron (ferrous). On mixing 1 volume of this solution of iodide of iron with 5 volumes of simple syrup the product will con- tain about 60 grains of iodide of iron (ferrous) in each fluid ounce and will be practically identical measure for measure, but not weight for weight with the officinal syrup of iodide of iron. 2650. Solution of Iodide of Iron, Br. (For syrup of iodide of iron.) Iron wire, fine and bright. 1 ounce. Iodine 2 ounces. Water 2 ounces. Cut the wire and add it to the water and iodine contained in the flask. Start chemical action by heating slightly, then set aside until action ceases and all the iodide has disap- peared. Decant, add 1 dram of hypophos- phorus acid, and filter, making up to 4 ounces with water which has been used to wash out the flask. One part of this solution to 7 parts of syrup makes syr. ferri iod. NON-SECRET FORMULAS. 253 MEDICINAL SYRUPS. 2651. Syrup of Acacia Gum. Gum arabic 2% ounces. Granulated sugar 17% ounces.

Such a solution is non-explosive, and may te dilutee on requires the strength of 1 per cent. The specific gravity of the 10 per cent solution is 0.S63 at IS 1 . Ten C.c. of it require about :. of distilled water to render it opalescent that print cannot be distinguished through it under the conditions just described in the case of the 1 per cent solution. Solutions of Glonoin, particularly the _ger (10 per cent), should always be trans- ported or kept in tin cans, and never in glass or other fragile vessels. Should the container of a solution of glonoin be broken, and the contents be soaked up by wood, or packing material, the latter may become dangerously explosive when the alcohol has evaporated. Should the proportion of glonoin to porous material be not more than 70 parts of the former, and not less than 30 parts of the :. the compound will be non-explosive ex- cept by a detonator): and if the proportions are not more than 52 parts of the former, and not less than 48 parts of the latter, the compound cannot even be detonated. But, in presence of substances readily yielding oxy- gen, such as nitrates, chlorate- -mall a proportion as 5 per cent of glonoin will produce a dangerously explosive combination. When handling an alcoholic solution of glo- noin. care should be taken that it be not brought in prolonged or extended contact with the skin, as it is readily absorbed, and will then cause its characteristic physiological ef- g headache, nav.- Spiritu* Olei Volatile. M. F. Spirit of a Volatile Oil Any spirit or alcoholic solution of a volatile oil, for which no fo'rmula is given by the .iarni. or by this Formulary, should be prepared in accordance with the following general formula: volatile oil 400 minims. dorized alcohol, enough to make 16 fl. ounces. ve the volatile oil in the deodorized alcohol. ngth of the spirit thus pre- pared is approximately 5 per cent by weight. provided the specific gravity of the oil is about 2S56.

At solute alcohol, enough to make 15 fL oun To the absolute alcohol, contained in a flask, add the phosphorus, cut into small pieces, and apply a moderate heat, by means of a water-bath, taking care to prevent, as much as possible, any loss of alcohol by evapora- tion, or making up any loss by adding, from j time to time, a little more absolute alcohol. When the phosphorus is dissolved, allow the liquid to become cold, and add enough abso- lute alcohol, if necessary, to make fifteen fluid ounces. Then transfer the spirit to small, dark amber-colored vials, stopper them securely, and keep them in a cool and dark place. Each fluid dram contains 1 12 grain of phosphorus, or 14.4 minims contain 1 T grain of phosphorus. Note. — The phosphorus should be perfectly translucent, cut and weighed under ws and quickly dried with filtering paper before being dropped into the alcohol. The loss of alcohol, during the heating, may be avoided, and solution effected more expeditiously, by attaching to the flask a well-cooled upright condenser, which will cause the vapor of the alcohol to be condensed, and to flow back into the flask. In the absence of a con- denser, a long glass tube, inserted through a tight-fitting cork into the neck of the flask, and maintained in an upright condition, will nearly answer the same purpose. This preparation is intended for preparing the elixir of phosphorus - unsuited for internal administration without corrigents. Care should be taken that it be not confounded with Thompson's solution of phosphorus. 28o8. Spiritus Saponatu*. X. F. Spirit of S Castile soap, in sharing* - . :r. ounces. Alcohol 9 fl. ounces.

Nearly all of the preparations dispensed under this name contain the iron as 1 phos- phate or pyrophosphate, and the quinine and strychnine in some other form than as phos- phate. If it be desired to dispense such a preparation as "elixir of three phosphates," then any of the preparations made according to formulas given in this formulary under elixir of iron phosphate, or pyrophosphate, quinine and strychnine may be dispensed. The following formula does actually con- tain the three bases in the form of phosphates, which are maintained in solution by the ex- cess of hydrochloric acid: Solution of iron chloride, U. S. P 7% fl. drams. Quinine (alkaloid) 110 grains. Strychnine (alkaloid) 1 grain. Phosphoric acid, U. S. P.. ■ 2% fl. drams. Distilled water 2 fl. drams. Alcohol 1 fl. ounce. Simple elixir 10 fl. ounces. Simple syrup, enough to make 16 fl. ounces. Mix the iron solution, phosphoric acid and water, and in this mixture dissolve the alka- loids; to this solution add the syrup, and then elixir and alcohol previously fnixed. However, any elixir containing iron in the form of phosphate or pyrophosphate will in- evitably darken upon exposure to light, and therefore some manufacturers place upon the market a so-called "permanent elixir of three phosphates," which contains the iron as citro- chloride; a preparation of this character would be well represented by the elixir of iron, quinine and strychnine of the National Formulary. 3036.
