INDELIBLE
MARKING
INK,
WITHOUT
PREPARATION.--1-1/2
drachms
nitrate
of
silver
(lunar
caustic),
1
ounce
distilled
water,
1/2
ounce
strong
mucilage
of
gum
arabic,
3/4
drachm
liquid
ammonia;
mix
the
above
in
a
clean
glass
bottle,
cork
tightly,
and
keep
in
a
dark
place
till
dissolved,
and
ever
afterwards.
Directions
for
use:--Shake
the
bottle,
then
dip
a
clean
quill
pen
in
the
ink,
and
write
or
draw
what
you
require
on
the
article;
immediately
hold
it
close
to
the
fire,
(without
scorching)
or
pass
a
hot
iron
over
it,
and
it
will
become
a
deep
and
indelible
black,
indestructible
by
either
time
or
acids
of
any
description.
MIXTURE
FOR
REMOVING
INK
STAINS
AND
IRON-MOULDS.--Cream
of
tartar
and
salts
of
sorrel,
one
ounce
each;
mix
well,
and
keep
in
a
stoppered
bottle.
TO
WASH
HAIR-BRUSHES.--Never
use
soap.
Take
a
piece
of
soda,
dissolve
it
in
warm
water,
stand
the
brush
in
it,
taking
care
that
the
water
only
covers
the
bristles;
it
will
almost
immediately
become
white
and
clean;
stand
it
to
dry
in
the
open
air
with
the
bristles
downwards,
and
it
will
be
found
to
be
as
firm
as
a
new
brush.
TO
CLEAN
HEAD
AND
CLOTHES-BRUSHES.--Put
a
table-spoonful
of
pearl-ash
into
a
pint
of
boiling
water.
Having
fastened
a
bit
of
sponge
to
the
end
of
a
stick,
dip
it
into
the
solution,
and
wash
the
brush
with
it;
carefully
going
in
among
the
bristles.
Next
pour
over
it
some
clean
hot
water,
and
let
it
lie
a
little
while.
Then
drain
it,
wipe
it
with
a
cloth,
and
dry
it
before
the
fire.
