 PREFACE. 
 
 The object of this little volume is to place before every 
 druggist reliable formulas for preparing well-known medi- 
 
 These preparations — Elixirs, Emulsions, Medicated Syrups 
 and Wines, etc. — have become so universal that there is 
 scarcely a druggist within the length and breadth of the 
 land who does not have more or less sale for them ; and 
 to be enabled to prepare them is not only a source of 
 satisfaction, but is also very desirable on account of the 
 increase of profits. 
 
 In the other respective departments the formulas will be 
 found to be reliable, and can be depended upon. In fact, 
 all the formulas contained in the work are “ practical.’ ’ 
 They have been prepared again and again, and never 
 failed to produce the desired result if carefully com- 
 pounded. 
 
 The weights and measures used in the formulas are 
 those adopted by the Pharmaceutical Association (they will 
 be found in the Appendix to this work). The fluidounce 
 is to be considered, if not otherwise directed, and the 
 pound is always to be understood as consisting of twelve 
 ounces. The directions for maceration or displacement, 
 percolation, specific gravity, with other general informa- 
 tion, being so plainly set forth in the U. S. Dispensatory 
 at the beginning of Part Second of that work, it is un- 
 necessary to produce them here.

 ADULTERATIONS AND TESTS OF ESSENTIAL OILS. 
 
 There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of drug- 
 gists that a large amount of “fixing” is done by some 
 party, either in the manufacture or jobbing of Essential 
 Oils. As a starting-point, always buy your “oils” of a 
 responsible dealer, in whom you have implicit confidence : 
 then if there are any “impurities” you will know that the 
 manufacturer is the guilty person, and your redress is to 
 return them to the dealer. 
 
 It will be found of advantage always to keep the “ oils” 
 in the dark, and at as even a temperature as possible. 
 The color of an oil is no guarantee of its purity. All 
 “oils” undergo more or less change from age and from 
 the action of light and air. Some become darker, others 
 grow lighter. A pure Oil of Orange has been known to 
 change in a few days after exposure to light and air so 
 that the best judge could not tell it from pure Oil of Tur- 
 pentine. Oil of Lemon and Oil of Bergamot will, if 
 placed in a strong sunlight, soon lose their color and emit 
 a strong turpentine smell. This characteristic is also ob- 
 served with many of the Essential Oils: the turpentine 
 odor is natural to them, and manufacturers often take 
 advantage of this, thus reaping large profits, by fraud- 
 ulently* adding Turpentine in quantities that will not be 
 observed by the ordinary dealer.

 OIL OF SWEET ALMONDS. 
 
 This oil is pure, or nearly so, as found in the market. 
 When adulterated, it is with Olive Oil ; and, as both of 
 these oils are used medicinally alike, the adulteration is 
 not of much consequence. 
 
 4:83 
 
 OIL OF BITTER ALMONDS. 
 
 The peculiar smell of this oil, and its specific gravity, — 
 1.043, — are reliable tests. With Sulphuric Acid it forms 
 a clear solution having a reddish-brown color. With an 
 alcoholic solution of Caustic Potassa crystals are precip- 
 itated. With all acids it has a decided reaction. With 
 Chromate of Potassium there is no action, and with almost 
 all the reagents there is some peculiar characteristic by 
 which its purity can be established. 
 
 4 : 84 = 
 
 OIL OF AMBER. 
 
 The manufacturers of this oil often substitute Gum 
 Copal or Gum Damar. There is no test by which to deter- 
 mine the genuine from the fraudulent. 
 
 4:85 
 
 OIL OF ANISE 
 
 has a specific gravity of 0.9768 to 0.9903, according to 
 age. At 50° Fahrenheit it crystallizes ; but this is not 
 always a guarantee of its purity, as it is often adulterated 
 with Spermaceti, White Wax, or Camphor. To detect an 
 
APPENDIX . 
 
 159 
 
 admixture, dissolve the suspected oil in 95 per cent. Alco- 
 hol. Wax or Spermaceti not being soluble in Alcohol, 
 they will remain undissolved. Heat in a test-tube, and if 
 Camphor be present it will be known by its odor. The 
 pure oil treated with Iodine congeals into a solid mass, 
 producing perceptible warmth and giving off yellowish- 
 red and gray vapors. Sulphuric Acid and the oil heated 
 in a test-tube produce a beautiful purple-red color, and the 
 mixture quickly thickens, and then becomes hard. 
 
 486 
 
 OIL OF BERGAMOT. 
 
 Its specific gravity — 0.87 to 0.88 — is the best means of 
 testing its purity or admixture with Alcohol. Its smell 
 when heated in a test-tube will determine an adulteration 
 of Turpentine. It can be distinguished from Oil of Lemon 
 or Oil of Orange by its forming a clear solution in Liquor 
 Potassae. 
 
 4:87 
 
 OIL OF CARAWAY, 
 
 as found in the market, is pure, or nearly so. If there is 
 any impurity, it will be Alcohol, which maybe determined 
 by the oil’s assuming a milky appearance when water is 
 added to it. 
 
 4:88 
 
 OIL OF CAJUPUT. 
 
 The rectified oil is of a beautiful green color, very fluid, 
 and transparent. The adulterations are Oil of Turpentine, 
 Camphor, Alcohol, and the lighter oils. Iodine is probably 
 
i6o 
 
 APPENDIX. 
 
 the best test of its purity. When dissolved in it, it pro- 
 duces warmth, and thickens into a loose coagulum, which 
 is soon changed into a dry, greenish-brown, brittle mass. 
 Its specific gravity — 0.91 — will detect Alcohol and the 
 lighter oils. 
 
 4=89 
 
 OIL OF COPAIBA. 
 
 Dissolved in Muriatic Acid, it precipitates artificial 
 Camphor crystals. To determine if Turpentine be present 
 in large quantities, heat the oil in a test-tube ; smell the 
 fumes as they pass over. Turpentine is naturally contained 
 in the Oil of Copaiba, but that does not justify the manu- 
 facturer in adding more to it, as is often done. 
 
 4=90 
 
 OIL OF CEDAR. 
 
 This oil, from its close resemblance to Oil of Turpen- 
 tine, is perhaps more frequently adulterated with that article 
 than with any other. There is no reliable means of de- 
 termining to a certainty whether the Turpentine contained 
 in Oil of Cedar is there naturally or fraudulently. 
 
 4=91 
 
 OIL OF CINNAMON. 
 
 When Nitric Acid is added to a pure Oil of Cinnamon, 
 a smell of Bitter Almond Oil is perceived, and the mixture 
 assumes a brown, balsamic appearance. When dissolved 
 in an alcoholic solution of Caustic Potassa, the solution at 
 first is clear, tinged with a red-yellow-brown coloration. 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 161 
 
 After a while the mixture becomes turbid, the heavy oil 
 precipitating, and in time the mixture becomes clear again. 
 Iodine dissolves the oil readily, generating considerable 
 warmth, and leaving a tough extract behind. Sulphuric 
 Acid forms a hard mass of brownish green, changing into 
 black. Muriatic Acid gives it a violet color. 
 
 *402 
 
 OIL OF CASSIA 
 
 is distinguished from Oil of Cinnamon and other adulter- 
 ations by its odor. Sulphuric Acid changes a pure oil to 
 a deep olive-green, and Muriatic Acid to a violet color. 
 The “ warmed-paper test” is also useful. See Oil of Neroli. 
 
 403 
 
 OIL OF CLOVES. 
 
 A pure oil is spontaneously decomposed by Nitric Acid, 
 forming a reddish-brown, solid mass. A small quantity 
 of Sulphuric Acid added to the oil produces a dark-blue 
 coloration ; and on the addition of more Acid it is changed 
 into a blood-red solid mass. It is perfectly decomposed 
 into brown flakes by Chromate of Potassium, the Potassium 
 losing its yellow color. The alcoholic solution of Caustic 
 Potassa congeals it into a crystalline mass, at the same time 
 destroying the clove odor. 
 
 4S4 
 
 OIL OF JUNIPER BERRIES. 
 
 It has a specific gravity of 0.91 1, which is reliable as a 
 test. It is usually colorless, or light greenish yellow, with 
 
 a Turpentine smell. It is not very soluble in Alcohol.

 APPENDIX. 
 
 495 
 
 OIL OF LAVENDER FLOWERS. 
 
 This oil is of so delicate a nature that it does not suffer 
 an admixture, except that of Alcohol, without becoming 
 worthless. Its specific gravity — 0.88 at 6o° Fahrenheit — 
 is reliable as a test of its purity. Iodine triturated in the 
 Oil of Lavender produces violent explosions. This charac- 
 teristic cannot, however, be used as a test, except to detect 
 the poorer grades, and they can be detected easily by 
 smell. An admixture of Alcohol and Oil of Lavender 
 will explode when rubbed with Iodine. Sulphuric Acid, 
 when added to Oil of Lavender, produces a reddish-brown 
 color and a yellow shade to the Acid. 
 
 496 
 
 OIL OF LEMON. 
 
 Its composition being the same as that of Oil of Turpen- 
 tine, with which it is most frequently adulterated, it is diffi- 
 cult to detect the impurity unless there is an unusual amount. 
 The odor is the best mea s of ascertaining its purity, which 
 can be more readily ] erceived by heating the suspected 
 oil in a test-tube and smelling the fumes as they pass over ; 
 or place a few drops of the oil on a piece of warmed 
 white paper, and as the oil is evaporated the impurities 
 can be detected. If a stain remain upon the paper, it will 
 indicate that a fixed oil was used in the adulteration. The 
 addition of Alcohol can be proved by the milky appearance 
 which is produced on the introduction of Water. Its 
 specific gravity is about 0.8517. 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 163 
 
 497 
 
 OIL OF NEROLI. 
 
 There are three grades of this oil, viz., Oil of Neroli 
 petale, Oil of Neroli bigarade, and Oil of Neroli petit 
 grain. The first named is the pure, being distilled from 
 the flowers only; the second grade is made from flowers, 
 leaf, and stems ; while the third is composed of the second 
 and Oil of Orange. The best means of detecting any im- 
 purities is the “ warmed-paper test.” Drop a few drops 
 of the oil upon a piece of warmed white paper, smelling it 
 as it evaporates. After evaporation, should there remain 
 a greasy stain upon the paper, it will indicate that a fixed 
 oil had been added to it. 
 
 498 
 
 OLIVE OIL. 
 
 Under this name there are many distinct oils sold, 
 viz., “Peanut Oil,” “Oil of Sesame,” “Cotton-Seed Oil,” 
 “Union Salad,” and “Lard Oil,” colored. The pure 
 oil is of a pale yellowish-green color, with scarcely any 
 odor, and has a bland, sweetish taste. On exposure to 
 cold it congeals at 38° Fahrenheit, and exposure to the air 
 soon renders it rancid. It has a specific gravity of 0.9153. 
 If one ounce of Aqua Ammoniae be added to two ounces 
 of the oil, and the mixture violently agitated, a perfect 
 milky solution will be formed, which is an excellent test 
 of its purity. Its congealing property will also detect an 
 admixture of other oils. Nitric Acid colors it green, and 
 if adulterated the mixture is of a yellowish gray. To 
 determine the “fraudulent oils” the Aqua Ammoniae test 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 is the most reliable, as none of the so-called Olive Oils will 
 form a permanent mixture with the Ammonia, soon sep- 
 arating after the agitation has ceased. 
 
 499 
 
 OIL OF ORIGANUM. 
 
 This oil is frequently adulterated with Turpentine or 
 Alcohol, — chiefly done in France, where it is manufactured. 
 The specific gravity is uncertain as a test, since a strictly 
 pure article cannot be obtained. Kane gives the specific- 
 gravity at 0.867, Brande at 0.909, and Lewis at 0.940. 
 The odor is the only test, and that is not conclusive. 
 
 500 
 
 OIL OF ORANGE. 
 
 Owing to its becoming so soon impregnated with the 
 odor of Turpentine on exposure to light or air, or to both, 
 it is very difficult to determine whether the Turpentine was 
 naturally contained in it or had been fraudulently added. 
 Being closely related to Lemon, the tests for purity of that 
 oil are reliable for the Oil of Orange. 
 
 501 
 
 OIL OF PEPPERMINT. 
 
 Alcohol is frequently used as an adulteration ; also Oil 
 of Turpentine, and the common mints or weeds. Dissolve 
 the suspected oil in 95 per cent. Alcohol, and if the solu- 
 tion has a milky appearance it is owing to mints or Tur- 
 pentine. If the adulteration is Turpentine, the odor will 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 165 
 
 expose it ; if weeds, the taste will. Be careful to have 
 your Alcohol 90 per cent, to 95 per cent., as below 90 
 per cent, a pure Oil of Peppermint will not form a clear 
 solution. Another test for Turpentine is to rub Iodine 
 with the oil ; if so adulterated, an explosion follows. Nitric 
 Acid added to four times its volume of Oil of Peppermint 
 produces a purple-red color. With other oils it merely 
 becomes a reddish brown. It has a specific gravity of from 
 0.89 to 0.92. 
 
 502 
 
 OIL OF PIMENTO. 
 
 Adulterated with Oil of Cloves, which it so closely 
 resembles that it can hardly be detected. It is also adul- 
 terated with other oils; the Oil of Cloves tests could 
 be used to determine the admixture. It has a specific 
 gravity of 1.021. 
 
 503 
 
 OIL OF ROSE. 
 
 Spermaceti, White Wax, Oil of Rose Geranium, also 
 other volatile and fixed oils, are used to adulterate this 
 high-priced oil. Dissolve the suspected oil in 95 percent. 
 Alcohol, and if there remain undissolved a flaky sub- 
 stance it will indicate either Wax or Spermaceti. Drop a 
 few drops of the oil on a piece of warmed white paper, 
 smelling it as it is evaporated: you can often thus detect 
 an impurity. After the evaporation, should a stain remain 
 upon the paper, it will be conclusive that a fixed oil had 
 been mixed with it. When adulterated with a volatile oil, 
 it will not become concrete when heated. 
 
i66 
 
 APPENDIX. 
 
 50 4= 
 
 OIL OF ROSE GERANIUM. 
 
 That having a brownish tint is preferable to the greenish 
 or white, although the color is not positive proof of its 
 purity or fineness. It suffers the same admixture as the 
 other high-priced volatile oils, and the tests for purity 
 are the same. See Oil of Rose. 
 
 505 
 
 OIL OF ROSEMARY. 
 
 Adulterated with Turpentine chiefly. To detect, dis- 
 solve the suspected oil in Alcohol; if pure, a perfect solu- 
 tion will be formed. Alcohol will not dissolve Turpentine. 
 Oil of Rosemary has a specific gravity of 0.897. 
 
 50S 
 
 OIL OF SANDALWOOD. 
 
 This oil is used medicinally, and as a perfume. It is 
 largely adulterated with Castor Oil. To determine if 
 Castor Oil be present, place half a drachm of the suspected 
 oil in a capsule and heat it on a sand-bath, or put it into a 
 glass test-tube and heat it until the oil contains no odor 
 of Sandalwood. Should there be any residue, add eight 
 drops of Nitric Acid to it ; and when the action has ceased 
 add slowly a solution of Carbonate of Sodium. If adul- 
 terated with Castor Oil, its well-known smell will detect it. 
 The “ warmed-paper test” can also be used to advantage. 
 See test for Oil of Neroli. 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 167 
 
 507 
 
 OIL OF SASSAFRAS. 
 
 The specific gravity, 1.094, will detect an adulteration 
 with Alcohol. Iodine dissolved in it produces a clear 
 solution without thickening. The addition of one part of 
 Sulphuric Acid to two parts of Oil of Sassafras produces a 
 green color not obtainable with any other oil. On the 
 application of heat to this green mixture, it changes into a 
 blood-red. When Oil of Sassafras has been kept a long 
 time it precipitates transparent crystals. Another test : a 
 pure Oil of Sassafras will dissolve india-rubber. 
 
 508 
 
 OIL OF SAVIN. 
 
 Its specific gravity, 0.915, is a good test of its purity. 
 
 509 
 
 OIL OF SPEARMINT. 
 
 After distillation it has a pale-yellow or greenish color, 
 which is changed by age into a red or mahogany color. It 
 is subject to the same admixtures as Oil of Peppermint, 
 and its purity is determined by the same tests. 
 
 510 
 
 OIL OF TANSY 
 
 is quite frequently adulterated with Turpentine or Alcohol. 
 To determine an admixture of Turpentine, add Alcohol 
 to the suspected oil. If the solution is clear, the oil is 
 pure, so far as Turpentine is concerned. If adulterated 
 with Alcohol, the oil, on the addition of Water, will 
 assume a milky appearance. 
 
1 68 
 
 APPENDIX. 
 
 511 
 
 OIL OF VERBENA 
 
 is subject to the same admixtures as the other volatile 
 oils. The “ warmed-paper test” is preferable to any other 
 to detect impurities. See Oil of Neroli. 
 
 512 
 
 OIL OF WINTERGREEN. 
 
 Its specific gravity, 1.173, is the best test of its purity. 
 It is the heaviest of the known essential oils. Alcohol and 
 the fixed oils are the chief adulterations. 
 
 513 
 
 OIL OF WORMSEED 
 
 is seldom if ever adulterated. Its specific gravity is 0.908. 
 
 514 
 
 OIL OF WORMWOOD. 
 
 This oil is very largely adulterated with Turpentine or 
 Alcohol, colored green to imitate a pure oil. To determine 
 the presence of either of these admixtures, apply the tests for 
 Oil of Tansy.

 ADULTERATIONS OF SPICES, ETC. 
 
 516 
 
 GROUND CLOVES. 
 
 Allspice is very much used to adulterate this Spice, and 
 no doubt will continue to be until the price of Cloves is 
 reduced. It can readily be detected by careful tasting. 
 
 517 
 
 GROUND CINNAMON. 
 
 The poorer grades of Cinnamon Bark are frequently 
 ground and flavored with Oil of Cinnamon. The cold- 
 water test would expose this. See Ground Ginger . 
 
 518 
 
 GROUND GINGER. 
 
 Corn Meal is an ingredient to a much larger extent in 
 this spice than many suppose. The aromatic is supplied 
 with powdered Capsicum. It is very easily detected by 
 throwing a teaspoonful into a tumblerful of Water, and 
 watching it as it is precipitated; then pour off the Water 
 and carefully taste it. 
 
 519 
 
 GROUND MUSTARD. 
 
 Corn Meal, Flour, and powdered Capsicum are quite 
 frequently found in packages labelled “ Pure Ground 
 Mustard.’ ’ The eye will detect the admixture after being 
 directed to it. Or throw a teaspoonful into a tumblerful of 
 
 Water, and, after it has settled, carefully taste it.

 To detect any foreign matter in this spice, throw a tea- 
 spoonful into a tumblerful of Water. After it has settled, 
 pour off the Water, and carefully taste it. 
 
 521 
 
 CREAM OF TARTAR. 
 
 Flour, Terra Alba, Alum, and Chalk are the chief ingre- 
 dients found in adulterated Cream of Tartar. To determine 
 the admixture of Flour, rub a few grains of Iodine with 
 one ounce of the suspected Cream of Tartar ; if so adul- 
 terated, a blue tint to the mixture will be produced. Or 
 by dissolving a small quantity in Water you can prove its 
 presence by the stickiness. Chalk may be determined by 
 its effervescing on the addition of diluted acids; Alum by 
 dissolving in hot water and allowing the solution to crys- 
 tallize ; Terra Alba and other clays by their insolubility in 
 a hot solution of Caustic Potassa. 
 
 522 
 
 GLYCERINE 
 
 is often adulterated with Grape-Sugar, which may be 
 detected by heating the suspected Glycerine in a test-tube 
 with a small piece of Caustic Potassa ; the Sugar, if present, 
 will be changed to a dirty black color. If the adulteration 
 be Cane-Sugar, it assumes a blue tint. Treated with a 
 solution of Nitrate of Silver, if any impurities are contained 
 in the Glycerine a white or dirty white precipitate will be 
 the result. Any excess of Chlorine or Chlorides may be 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 171 
 
 detected with a solution of Nitrate of Silver; if any im- 
 purities exist, a white precipitate will be formed. When 
 perfectly pure, Glycerine is not affected by this solution, 
 and will be odorless and colorless. Lead may be proven 
 by Sulphide of Ammonium, and Lime by Oxalate of Am- 
 monium. The heavier its specific gravity, the better it is

IMPROVED SYRUP OF PROTOXIDE OF IRON. 
 
 Sulphate of Iron (crystallized), 1300 grains; 
 
 Water of Ammonia (sp. gr. 960), 3 fluidounces; 
 
 Nitric Acid (sp. gr. 1.393), 1 fluidounce; 
 
 Oil of Sassafras, 3 minims ; 
 
 Alcohol, fluiddrachm ; 
 
 Sugar (granulated), a sufficient quantity; 
 
 Water, a sufficient quantity. 
 
 Dissolve the Sulphate of Iron and two ounces of Sugar 
 in one pint of Water. Add the Water of Ammonia grad- 
 ually, stirring with a glass rod. Transfer this to a strainer, 
 and wash the precipitate with sweetened Water — two ounces 
 of Sugar to the pint — until free from Sulphate of Ammo- 
 nia. Place the magma in a large mortar. Add to it four 
 ounces of Sugar and two ounces of Water. Mix well, and 
 to the mixture add gradually the Nitric Acid diluted with 
 three ounces of Water. Toward the last add the Acid, 
 drop by drop, until the color of the ferrous oxide just be- 
 gins to change to a brown color. Having graduated a 
 bottle to hold two pints, place twenty ounces of Sugar in 
 it and filter the liquid upon this, adding Water, if necessary, 
 through the filter to bring the measure of the whole to two 
 pints. Dissolve the Oil of Sassafras in the Alcohol, and 
 mix it with the Syrup. Finally, add to the Syrup diluted 
 Nitric Acid in quantity just sufficient to render the prep- 
 aration slightly acid. Dissolve the Sugar by simple agi- 
 tation, without heat, and if necessary filter again through 
 paper.

 EXTRACTS FROM POMADES. 
 
 (for the handkerchief.) 
 
 Pomade Jasmine, Triple, i pound ; 
 
 Pure Spirit, i pint. 
 
 Cut the Pomade in small pieces and place in a quart 
 bottle, add the Pure Spirit, and cork the bottle tightly. 
 Then place the bottle in a water-bath and apply heat suffi- 
 cient to melt the Pomade. Shake well together, and repeat 
 the shaking frequently until the fatty matter solidifies. 
 Allow this to stand for several days, shaking it occasionally, 
 then drain off the liquid extract into another bottle; if 
 this fall short of a pint, repeat the operation with a suffi- 
 cient quantity of Pure Spirit to make up to sixteen fluid- 
 ounces. The Pomade may be treated several times as 
 above, resulting in a weaker extract each time, which will 
 be found useful in the preparation of cheaper perfumes. 
 Extracts from all the “ Triple Pomades’ ’ can be made after 
 the above formula.

 FLUID EXTRACTS. 
 
 The drug to be operated upon is reduced to that degree 
 of fineness which is best adapted to facilitate the extract- 
 ing of its medicinal virtues. It is then moistened with a 
 sufficient quantity of the menstruum in a suitable covered 
 vessel, and set aside in a moderately-warm room for seven 
 days (unless otherwise directed), then transferred to a per- 
 colator, packing it in loosely, moderately, firmly, or hard, 
 as directed with each article. Having carefully packed all 
 the drug in the percolator, cover it over with a disc made 
 of filter-paper. Then gradually pour the menstruum upon 
 
212

 the mixture until it is covered an inch or more. When an 
 ounce has passed through, return it to the percolator, add 
 more menstruum, and continue the percolation until 
 twelve fluidounces of the tincture have passed through. 
 Set this aside, and add more menstruum to the percolator, 
 until the fluid passed has little or no color, or ceases to 
 contain any trace of the drug. Evaporate this last tincture 
 either in a sand- or water-bath to four fluidounces, add it 
 to the reserved tincture, and, after allowing it to stand 
 two or three days, filter it through paper. See U. S. Dis- 
 pensatory for percolating.

 III. Chalybeate Waters are characterized by their 
 inky taste, and by striking a blue-black color with an in- 
 fusion of galls, and a blue color with ferrocyanuret of po- 
 tassium. The iron is generally in the state of carbonate 
 of the protoxide, held in solution in the water by excess 
 of carbonic acid. By standing, or boiling, the carbonic 
 acid is driven off, and the protoxide, by absorbing oxygen, 
 is precipitated as a hydrated sesquioxide, of an ochreous 
 color.

 IV. Saline Waters comprise those which contain a suffi- 
 cient amount of neutral salts to give them a marked and 
 generally a purgative operation. The salts most usually 
 present are the sulphates and carbonates of lime, magne- 
 sia, and soda, and the chlorides of calcium, sodium, and 
 magnesium. Iodine and bromine have been found in a 
 few saline springs ; and some of them contain carbonic 
 acid and iron, which might entitle them to be classified, 
 respectively, with the carbonated or chalybeate waters.

 gelatinous form, and, mixed with milk, is an excellent 
 diet for children. It possesses in some measure a consti- 
 pating property, which may be increased by boiling the 
 milk.

 MUCILAGE OF GUM ARABIC. 
 
 As an article of diet, the proper proportions are an ounce 
 of Gum Arabic to a pint of Boiling Water. The solution 
 is allowed to cool before it is used. Gum Arabic is very 
 nutritive, and life can be sustained on it alone for some 
 time.

 lemon-juice may be added in the proportion required by 
 the patient. In the same manner may be made balm and 
 other teas. 
 
 These infusions form very agreeable and useful drinks in 
 fever, and their diaphoretic powers may be increased by 
 the addition of the sweet spirit of nitre or antimonial wine. 
 
 764

 JELLY OF CARRAGEEN, OR IRISH MOSS. 
 
 Carrageen, y 2 ounce ; 
 
 Fresh Milk, 1 y 2 pints. 
 
 Boil them down to a pint ; remove any sediment by 
 filtering or otherwise, and then add the requisite quantity 
 of sugar, with lemon-juice, or peach-water, to give it an 
 agreeable flavor. To be used freely. 
 
 The moss, before being used, should be well washed in

 BOILED FLOUR. 
 
 Fine Flour, 1 pound. 
 
 Tie it up in a linen cloth as tightly as possible, and, alter 
 frequently dipping it in cold water, dredge the outside with 
 flour till a crust is formed round it, which will prevent the 
 water from soaking into it while boiling. It is then to be 
 boiled until it becomes a hard, dry mass. 
 
 Two or three spoonfuls of this may be grated and pre- 
 pared in the same manner as arrowroot, for which it forms 
 an excellent substitute. 
 
 771 
 
 CHOCOLATE. 
 
 Chocolate should be suffered to stand until cold, after 
 having been made in the usual way. The oily parts thus 
 collect on the surface, and should be taken off. The liquid 
 should then be boiled again, and sugar, etc., added.

 dients, a very nourishing diet for convalescents, and, when 
 mixed with an equal portion of milk, is well adapted to the 
 bowel complaints of children. 
 
 Isinglass or fish glue may be used instead of the Hartshorn 
 Shavings, if preferred.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF ANILINE 
 COLORS. 
 
 (One ounce of Aniline Dyes will dye, Medium Shade, seventeen 
 pounds of Wool, or eight pounds of Silk or Cotton Goods.) 
 
 It is very important to have a pure water bath free from 
 all foreign ingredients which may be injurious to the dye. 
 To clean water add half a pound of Alum to five gallons 
 of Water, and boil and skim. 
 
 In dyeing with Aniline color, it is essential to use only 
 wooden or tin vessels; copper or iron is very injurious 
 to the color. Where woollen yarns contain grease, it is 
 important to wash them well in a bath of soda and soap. 
 
 Dyeing. — Prepare a bath, scalding hot (not boiling), put 
 into it as much of the dissolved dye as will give you the 
 desired shade, and then put in your goods, which, after a 
 lapse of twenty or thirty minutes, will be completely dyed. 
 Wash the goods only slightly after dyeing, in pure water. 
 Strain through cloth to remove the specks. In making up 
 the bath, use about one drachm of the required dye to two 
 ounces of water or alcohol.

 The following are each for two pounds of goods. 
 
 Dissolve three ounces of Sugar of Lead in as much hot 
 rain water as will cover the goods. Then dissolve one and 
 a half ounces of Bichromate of Potassium in as much cold 
 water as will cover the goods. First dip the goods in the 
 lead water, wring out, then dip in the potash water, wring 
 out again, and then rinse in clean hot rain water. Repeat 
 if the color is not sufficiently deep.

 BLUE ON COTTON. 
 
 Take four ounces of Copperas, half an ounce of Prus- 
 siate of Potash, and a quarter of an ounce of Oil of Vitriol. 
 Dissolve the Copperas in water, and boil the goods in this 
 solution about one hour; take them out and rinse well, 
 then put them in boiling water in which the Potash and 
 Vitriol have previously been dissolved (drop the Vitriol 
 
 carefully) ; let them remain one hour.

 a few minutes ; add the Solution of Tin ; stir them until 
 well mixed ; strain ; then put in the goods and boil the 
 whole nearly an hour ; take them out and rinse thoroughly 
 in clear soft water. Unless the water is very clean and 
 soft, it is better to rinse them in alum water, — made by 
 dissolving eight ounces of alum in five gallons of water. 
 
 Particular care should be taken to get pure cream of 
 tartar, as a large proportion sold contains metallic impuri- 
 ties, which will prevent a good color.

 scalding (not boiling) heat for twenty minutes : if cotton 
 goods, boil for ten minutes, stirring constantly to keep from 
 spotting. To set the color, immerse the goods in scald- 
 ing hot water containing a teacupful of salt to three 
 gallons of water ; let the goods remain in until cold, then 
 hang them to dry without wringing. Boiling suds will set 
 this color of black dyed silks.

 PURPLE ON COTTON AND WOOLLEN. 
 
 Dissolve one ounce of Cudbear with gentle heat in suf- 
 ficient water to cover the goods. First dip the goods in 
 saleratus water ; wring them out in the dye, and let them 
 remain half an hour. If you wish a darker shade, wring 
 again, and wet in saleratus water, then again into the dye, 
 and add two ounces of alum.

 BROWN. 
 
 Take four ounces of Catechu, one ounce of Blue Vitriol, 
 one ounce of Soda Ash ; put your dyes in enough water to 
 cover the goods ; boil for half an hour ; put in your goods, 
 and keep them at a scalding (not boiling) heat for five or 
 six hours, stirring them occasionally. For a dark brown, 
 rinse your goods in copperas water. Color in brass. 
 
 825 
 
 CRIMSON ON WOOLLEN. 
 
 Take eight ounces of Lac Dye and two ounces of Solution 
 of Tin. To sufficient water to cover your goods add the 
 Lac Dye, and let it stand half a day ; add the Solution of 
 Tin ; mix well, and then put in your goods ; bring it to a 
 scalding heat (slowly). For a light crimson, let it remain 
 half an hour, and from one to two hours for a deeper shade.

DETECTING MIXED WHISKEY. 
 
 3°9 
 
 826 
 
 MODE OF DETECTING MIXED OR RECTIFIED WHISKEY. 
 
 The various stamps now required by the government 
 offer an easy means of detecting spurious or adulterated 
 whiskey. They are four, called, respectively, ‘ 4 Distillery 
 Warehouse, ” “ Tax paid,” “ Wholesale Liquor Dealer’s,” 
 and “ Rectifier’s” stamp, and can be easily recognized, as 
 they are all so marked. When a barrel is filled at the dis- 
 tillery, it is at once stamped with the “ Distillery Ware- 
 house” stamp, and removed to the bonded warehouse, 
 where it can remain one year, until the tax of seventy 
 cents per gallon is paid, when a “ Tax paid” stamp is 
 affixed, denoting the number of gallons on which the tax 
 has been paid, and it is then ready for market, free from 
 government control ; so that all whiskey originally from the 
 distillery, unchanged, and in the original packages, should 
 have the Distillery Warehouse and Tax paid stamps affixed. 
 The law requires that when any change is made in the 
 character of the whiskey by mixing, diluting, manipulating 
 in any way, or adding anything, it shall be deemed “ rec- 
 tification,” and a “ Rectifier’s” stamp placed upon the 
 barrel, instead of the two original stamps, which must be 
 removed ; also, the name of the rectifier and the date of 
 rectification are to be branded on the barrel. The Whole- 
 sale Liquor Dealer’s stamp is intended to cover the transfer 
 from an original stamped barrel to smaller packages, from 
 five gallons up, to meet the wants of the retail dealer. 
 The law requires that every package containing five gal- 
 lons or more shall bear a stamp ; the Wholesale Liquor 
 Dealer’s stamp, being made exclusively for that purpose, 
 
3io

 should never be used on a barrel. Rectifiers and com- 
 pounders affix the Wholesale Liquor Dealer’s stamp instead 
 of the Rectifier’s (the proper one required by law on all 
 whiskey that has been mixed or compounded), as that would 
 show the character of the whiskey. Some also affix their 
 business card, designed in appearance to represent a gov- 
 ernment stamp, to convey the impression that it is a regular 
 “ two stamp,” or original goods. But when a barrel bears 
 either a Wholesale Liquor Dealer’s or a Rectifier’s stamp, 
 it is prima facie evidence of its being mixed or made-up 
 goods; when a barrel bears both the “ Distillery Ware- 
 house” and “Tax paid” stamp, it may generally be re- 
 garded as pure, though dealers sometimes draw out a 
 portion of an original barrel and refill with spirits. 
 
 Stamps were first used in November, 1868; all whiskeys 
 then made and in bond were stamped only with the “Tax 
 paid” stamp; all made after or during November, 1868, 
 require the Distillery Warehouse and Tax paid stamps to 
 be affixed on original packages.
