PREFACE.
work
was
prepared
by
the
author
for
the
purpose
of
collecting
and
presenting
in
a
compact
form
all
those
recipes
and
so-called
"trade
secrets"
which
have
been
so
extensively
present
advertised
and
offered
for
sale.
Thb
During
fifteen
years'
connection
with
several
technical
journals
the
author
has
had
occasion
to
examine,
either
personally
or
through
competent
experts,
a
large
number
of
these
recipes.
Many
of
those
which
have
been
offered
for sale
needed
no
examination
they
were
no
"
secrets,"
but
old
and
well
known
formulae,
and
the
selling
of
them
at
prices
ranging
from
25
cents
to
$10
was
simply
a
fraud.
Well
known
formu'33

and

have been
thus
offered,
and
it
is
a
notable
fact

slight
changes
have
been
made,
but
in
no
case
has
such
change
been
an
improvement.
In
many
cases
these
advertisements
of
"valuable
recipes"
are
put
out
by
boys,
who
frequently
operate
under
high-sounding
names
of
companies
which
exist
only
on
paper;
in their
circulars
they
offer
to
send
recipes
for
anything,
and
when
they
get
an
order
for
something
they
have
not
got,
they
go
to
the
nearest
public
library
and copy
the
formula
which
seems
to
come
nearest
to
the
wants
of their
customer.

INTRODUCTION.
Amongst
those
persons
who
have no
special
trade,
and
who
have
been
accidentally
thrown
out
of
employment,
many
are
found
who
desire
to
establish
a
small
manufacturing
business
for
themselves,
and
who
are
led
by
the
gorgeous
promises
of
dealers
in
formulae
and
recipes
to
invest
their
little
capital
