1NTRODUCTORY

1n bringing the Fifth edition of these Reeipes before


e publie in pamphlet nr book form alow me to throw out
Vw hints to that elass of persons to whom they are
dressed and who form the business portion of most
mmunities.
1 hare found from experien0e that the true plan for
- business man to pursue, is to make, or eause to
made, the artieles (in this line) kept by him for sale;
0 make a good artiele, label it in bis own name and let
! eustomers try them for themselves, as that is the on-
thing whieh will satisfy in these days of o Humbug
i Deeeption.
ln this way y.m establish for yourself a name whieh
1 soon repay you tenfold for all the trouble and ex-
ise whi(h you are at in yonr eommeneement ; and by
ng the preseriptions given in the o Guide to Wealth,"
i will always make good artieles, and every time you
1 one thus labeled, you sell your owu advertisement.
might not be amiss to state the reason why lleeipes
put in this work for making different kinds of
uors.
!t is a well known faet that most of the liquors sold
the present time are manufa0tured, and to a great ex-
t from injurious artieles; this should never be eoun-
aneed by any respeetable dealer. The only true
u is tn use pure spirits and a genuine artiele to flavor
b. Loaf Sugar will mellow liquors better than any
er artiele ; it may be used to the amount of 1 to 4
iees to the gallon, but by no means ever use an
urious artiele.
ln se reeipes are eolleeted from praetieal sourees, on-
aiul are of sueh a nature (most of them) as to enter
l our daily use and sales. Some of them 1 have
,wn to sell singly as high as 8125, S25, 810, 16, 81,
i yet any single item of information in them whieh a
rl
person may want to use, is worth ten times the amonnl
which 1 ask for the whole. The publie may have eon
fidenee in them, as they have been revised by a regular
physieian, who is also a praetieal druggist.
1f the foregoing hints should be aeted upon by the
purehasers of this o Guide to Wealth" sueeess must at
tend them, as it is the only true plan, and has proved
eminently sueeessful to the author.. As Dr. Chase ha»
taken the entire interest of Mr. Wood, all eommuniea
tions will be addressed to
A. W. CHASE, M. D.,
Ann Arbor, Miehigan.

a keg a few gallons at a time, leaving a few quarts to
make into next time—not using yeast again until the
keg needs rinsing. lf it gets a little sour make more

it full. Then bottle, putting in 2 or 3 broken rasins to

the bottles lay in a eool place and on the side. This Ci
der is sometimes made as follows : For 20 gallons of wa

however, holds the earbonie aeid so it will not fly oil a"

To Keep Apple Cider Sweet Withoit Expekse.—
When yonr eider has worked so as to have lei th,
aee sink or just to suit your taste, raek it oft' and
the barrel, (unless you have plenty of barrels, ) and re-
tarn three gallons of the eider into the barrel No«
take a strip of eotton eloth - hy (J inehes, whieh has
been dipped in melted sulphur and dried, fire o
of this strip and introduee it into the bung-h ,h
bold it by means of the bang, giving it air suffieient :
let it burn, keeping the smoke iu as i: burns, wlu'i
you will push the bung in tight and I al
barrel until the sulphur gas is absorbed into tin' eider;
then return the eider to the barrel tree of sedimen:
shake nil together, and it is eomplete lor any length -i
time, so says Gideon Howell of Orramel, N. V., »«"
says he has drank it two years after it was put tip, jue
as niee as when first made. 1 know that with : "u o
mustard seed, after reetifying, and kept in a eool eellsii
that it is safe; but if anyone desires to try it withe"'1
the mustard, or eannot get it. they have a good prospo
of sueeess without that expense, the first not eosting .''
fourth of a eent per barrel. And l know that in
parts of England, by using only ripe sound apples I
eider from, letting it work elear, raeking offabout twu'1
properly reetifying, bottling, &e., &e., eider is l;ii
from 20 to 30 years. When eider is drawn off and bat
tied, it should not be eorked until the next day after f
ling the bottles, or many of them will burst.

To make these shavings 1 eut the boards about 1 feei

me to say, make a good artiele and you will loose noth

gar that any firm will retail; manufaeturers will use lan.ie
easks, whilst families need only use small kegs.
Best Burning Fluid in Use. —Take nine pints of 9-

to seven quarts of aleohol to eut the eamphene. Th"'

To PReserVe Bq0b—For every ." gallons of water,
put in ' lunt of fresh slaeked lime, and the same amount
of eommon salt, mix well, ami let the barrel be about
half full of this fluid, then with a dish let down your
fresh eggs into it tipping the dish after it reaehes the wa-
,e,. sO thev roll out without eraeking the shell, for if the
BheIl is eraeked the eggs will spoil
1f fresh eggs are used, fresh eggs will eome out, as 1
have seen men who have kept them - and even 4 yeans
at sea. Barrels may be headed up and tilled so the fluid
will eome over the head and a little salt and lime may be
put on the head also so as to keep the top of the fluid as
strong as the bottom, or a pieee of board may be laid a-
eross the top or on top of the eggs and a little lime and
salt kept upon it will make a surer thing where persons
are patting up eggs to a eousiderable extent. This will
noi fail you. For families this need not be done, but
fchey must always be kept eovered with the brine. The
beauty of tin- plan is, thateggs will not freeze if kept in
any moderately good eellar.

PA1NT1ng. —To 1 gallon linseed nil, add two lbs. gum
shellae, lithrage X lb., red lead, 1 lb., umber, 1 oz. Boil
slowly as usual until the gams are dissolved; grind yi
paints in this (any eolor) and reduee with turpentine.
Yellow oehre is used for floor painting. This dries quiek
and wears exeeedingly well, and is said to make a goo:
furniture varnish ; 1 have not tried it for varni.-hin-
however.
To Remove Warts. —Pare off tho eoarse part of tin
wart and apply aquafortis in the following maimer: Take
a goose quil sharpened to a small point, dip it in thi
aquafortis only to obtain a very small amount, and rub i*
over the top of the wart about twiee a day until eured.
and the wart will leave without soreness or eeremony if
enough is applied. The juiee of a eommon milk weed
applied 2 or three times a day for a week, will eure neal
ly every wart, and often in less than a weeks time.

This intoxieates the fish and makes them turn up ou the
top of the water, when they are taken and put in a tub of
fresh water until they revive, when all is right. He may
be eaten without fear, but this will destroy mauy fish.
An Excellent Tootii Powder. —Take a little suds
made wiih Castile soap, and an equal amount of spirits of
eamphor, then thieken with finely pulverized ehalk and
ehareoal, equal quantities, to a thiek paste. Apply with
the anger, rubbing thoroughly, and it will whiten the
teeth better than any tooth powder you ean buy. A
brush is good to work between the teeth. Moisten with
a little eamphor as you use it. Never use stiff brushes.
Badgers hair is soft'aud best for the teeth.

this mixture to the same amount of warm water and ap-
Jily, at bedtime, by means of a soft brush. Badgers hair
brushes are the best, as the eommon bristle brush tears
the gums and should never be used. This to persons
who have tartarous adhesions on the teeth is worth more
tban the priee of the pamphlet.

soon as dry wash out well with snap. Keep it from shirt
bosoms and the faee, —espeeially .No. 1, as it will make
the faee sore as well as eolor it.
lf vou do get it on the skin, Cyanide (Cyanuret is the

rats ean got at it only for a short time. 1f it is desir. d
to sell this artiele and you wish to eolor to hide its eompi a

Or take warm water, 1 quart, lard, 2 pounds, phos-
phoros, 1 oz. Mix, and thieken with flour. One of
these has eaused more paper puffing and rat burstin:r.

Dose —One or two may be taken every two or four
hours, aeeording to the eondition or exeitement and age,
size, and aeeording to the full or spare habit of the fe
male patient. Let these be prepared by a good Drmjisl
or Physieian .
Uses. — ln Neuralgia and all painful and nervous af
feetions. This eonstitutes one of the most effieient eom
binations in all our eatalogue of formulas. This has
been used extensively in New Ymk and London by one
of our most eminent Physieians, with the most marked
sueeess. The worst eases of idiopathie neuralgia yield
to it like a eharm, when given after evaeuants. lt has
the effeet of allaying irritability, without produeing any
disturbanee of the system ; instead of eausing eonstipa
tion, it aets rather as an aperient.
A lady in London reeeived so mueh benefit from it
that she persisted in ealling it the Diamond Pill. Try
it all you Ladies whose systems are prostrated with anxi
ety, brought on by ehild bearing, over exerthr
ralgie pains and general restlessness.

Whitewash for Woodwork.
To render whitewash inure durable
to the wash when prepared small purlin
of sulphate of zine and eommon salt. T
wash may bo prepared by plaeing in i-
water-tight barrol half a bushel, mure or
less, of fresh or quick lime, and pour in
enough boiling water to eover it and a few
inehes over, then stir till well slacked.
Then add to this quantity three pounds of
the sulphate of zine and one pound of eom
mon salt and enough water to reduee it to
the eonsisteney of eream. Applv with a
brush, and it will harden in a few days.
The details may be modified, retain
iug the ingredients. 1 made a white
wash with a light eream eolor by
using good hydraulie eement fresh
and in powder for mixing with tho water,
and then adding, Id about the *ame propor
tion as above, the sulph#to of zine and salt,
and as much fine, rlofin s.md as eould be
stirred up with it, and applied evenly with
a brush. The waterlimo alono, with water
and the fine sand, will make an applieation
that will last several times as long as eom
mon whitewash when applied to the sides
of eoarse wooden buildings where wind and
storms do not beat with violenee. Hard
and frequont storms will gradually wear off
the eoating, but it will last longer in any
ease than simple lime wash. Tne propor
tions of the ingredients when tho sulphate
of zine and salt are used are one pound of
sulphate and six ounees of salt to every
peek of the lime. Another modiliea
tion is made of one poek of water
lime, fresh lime one peek, two
pounds sulphate of zine and one pound
eaeh of yellow oehre and burnt umber, to
give it a soft brown eolor. Still another
applieation is to add four pounds of riee
flour to eaeh half bushel of lime, stirring
till well intermixed. 1n all these prepara
tions it is bost to apply enough boiling
water (about one third) to the fresh lime in
the barrel to slaek the lime to powder, and
when this is completed add enough water
to give it the consisteney of eream after
stirring thoroughly. The sulphate of zine
1whito vitrioli may be had of druggists or
dealers in paints. There aro many modi
fieations of these mixtures pr-
greater or less value. They are \
,ng »ide by side.—New Fork Tribw
