Borax
and
its
Uses.
The
utility
of
borax
for
medicinal
purposes,
such
as
relieving
soreness
of
the
throat,
and
for
the
cure
of
thrush
in
young
children,
has
long
been
known,
but
it
is
only
in
the
present
day
that
its
good
qualities
as
an
antiseptic
have
become
known,
and
its
use
in
every
kind
of
domestic
work,
in
the
laundry,
in
the
garden,
vinery,
and
greenhouse,
and
even
for
the
toilet,
under
various
forms
and
in
different
preparations
bearing
the
general
name
of
"Patent
Californian
Borax,"
specially
prepared
for
all
personal
and
domestic
purposes,
has
been
promoted
by
its
production
in
small
packets,
varying
in
price
from
1d.
to
6d.,
which
may
be
purchased
of
almost
any
chemist,
oilman,
grocer,
or
dealer,
throughout
the
world.

Its
Antiseptic
Qualities.
The
Patent
Borax,
which
consists
of
a
combination
of
boron
and
sodium,
acts
in
a
marvellous
manner
as
an
arrester
of
decay,
and
as
such
is
useful
for
the
preservation
of
meat,
milk,
butter,
and
all
articles
of
animal
food
liable
to
taint
and
decay,
especially
in
hot
weather.
When
infused
in
small
quantities
in
water,
it
preserves
and
softens
it
for
drinking,
cooking,
washing,
and
all
household
purposes;
it
whitens
linen
and
cleanses
it
far
better
than
soda,
it
kills
harmful
insect
life,
though
perfectly
harmless
to
human
beings
and
domestic
animals;
it
cleanses
and
heals
ulcers,
festering
wounds,
sore
throat,
&c.;
is
useful
in
the
nursery
for
washing
the
heads
of
children,
cleans
sponges,
destroys
unpleasant
and
unwholesome
smells,
and
is
beneficial
to
teeth
and
gums
when
used
as
a
tooth-powder,
or
put
in
water
used
for
washing
the
teeth.
