Mouth
Glue.
The
very
useful
preparation
sold
under
this
title
is
merely
a
thin
cake
of
soluble
glue,
which,
when
moistened
with
the
tongue,
furnishes
a
ready
means
of
uniting
papers,
&c.
It
is
made
by
dissolving
one
pound
of
fine
glue
or
gelatine
in
water,
and
adding
half
a
pound
of
brown
sugar,
boiling
the
whole
until
it
is
sufficiently
thick
to
become
solid
on
cooling;
it
is
then
poured
into
moulds,
or
on
a
slab
slightly
greased,
and
cut
into
the
required
shape
when
cool.

Paste.
Paste
is
usually
made
by
rubbing
up
flour
with
cold
water,
and
boiling;
if
a
little
alum
is
mixed
before
boiling
it
is
much
improved,
being
less
clammy,
working
more
freely
in
the
brush,
and
thinner,
a
less
quantity
is
required,
and
it
is
therefore
stronger.
If
required
in
large
quantity,
as
for
papering
rooms,
it
may
be
made
by
mixing
one
quartern
of
flour,
one
quarter
pound
of
alum,
and
a
little
warm
water;
when
mixed,
the
requisite
quantity
of
boiling
water
should
be
poured
on
whilst
the
mixture
is
being
stirred.
Paste
is
only
adapted
to
cementing
paper;
when
used
it
should
spread
on
one
side
of
the
paper,
which
should
then
be
folded
with
the
pasted
side
inwards,
and
allowed
to
remain
a
few
minutes
before
being
opened
and
used;
this
swells
the
paper,
and
permits
its
being
mere
smoothly
and
securely
attached.
If
kept
for
a
few
days,
paste
becomes
mouldy,
and
after
a
short
time
putrid;
this
inconveince
may
be
obviated
by
the
use
of:
