The
following
pages
have
been
prepared
with very
great
care,
the
chief
aim
being
to
give
none
but
recipes
which
will
not
disappoint
those
who
attempt
to
use
them.
Sev-
eral
of
the
recipes
hei'e
given
are
original,
the
formulae
having
been
worked
out
or
improved
by
the
author
after
much
labor
and
experiment.
In
searching
for
really
good
formulte,
we
have
been
astonished
at
the
errors
which
have
crept
into
many
of
our
standard
books
of
recipes.
For
example,
in
one
case
the
two
separate
operations
of
a
well-known
process
for
staining
wood
are
given
as
distinct,
In
a
seemingly
favorite
re-
and,
of
course
useless recipes
for
a
washing
fluid,
the
reader
is
directed
to
add
vine-
cipe
gar
to
the
ammonia
employed,
tlius
entirely
neutralizing
it.
In
the
same
way
we
find
a
recipe
for
transferring
printed
engravings
to
wood,
in
which
the
alkali
(potash)
is
neutral-
ized
with
vitriol
We
suppose
that
in
the
last
case,
the
author
of
this
recipe
thought
that
two
strong
liquids
must
be
better
than
one,
forgetting
or
not
knowing
the
fact
that
one
destroys
the
effect
of
the
other.
A
very
slight
knowl-
edge
of
technological
science
would
have
enabled

to
these
defects,
however,
most
of
our
large
books
of
re-
cipes
contain
so
much
that
is
entirely
useless
to
the
practical
man,
and
so
many
mere
repetitions
of
the
same
recipe
in
different
language
and
terms,
that
their
cost
is
greatly
increased

their
value

deavored
to
combine
in
the following
pages
all
that
is
really
of
practical
value
to
the
professional
or
amateur
mechanic,

under
each
head,
we
have
not
only
sim-
the
work,
but
we
have
brought
it
to
such
a
size
and
plified
price
that
every
one
can
afford
to
buy
it.
Tiie
subjects
treated
of
in
this
work
are
arranged
alpha-
betically,
so
as
to
avoid
the
necessity
of
constant
reference
to
the
index.
A
few
words
in
regard
to
the
method
pursued
in
arranging
the
matter
may,
however,
not
be
out
of place.
As
we
believe
that
the
greatest
advantage
will
be
derived
from
bringing
together
at
one
place
not
only
the
special
instructions
in
regard
to
particular
processes,
but
the
general
information
relating
to
the
materials,
etc.,
em-
ployed,
we
have
in
most
cases
collected
all
such
matter
"
"
together
under
one
head.
Thiis,
under
the
head
of
Steel
will
be
found
not only
a
description
of
the
different
kinds
of
steel,
but
directions
for
forging,
tempering,
etc.,
but
as
most
persons
who
consult
this
book
would
most
likely
look
under
the
head
"
Tempering
"
for
information
on
that
par-
ticular
subject,
we
have
entered
the
word
"Tempering"
and
under
it
give
a
cross-reference
to
Steel.
"
This
is
the
reason
why
we
have
introduced
so
many
cross
references,
every
one
of
which
was
put
in
after
the
book
was
written,
so
that
the
reader
will
not
be
disappointed
when
he
turns
to
the
heading
to
which
he
is
directed.
Many
of
our
read-
ers,
doubtless,
know
that
in
too
many
volumes
of
this
kind,
cross
references
are
inserted
merely
for
the
purpose
of
swelling
the
apparent
amount
of
information
contained
in
the
volume,
and
very
often
when
the
reader
turns
to
the
heading
to
which
he
is
directed,
he
finds
that
the
subject
which
he
is
looking
for
has
been
omitted.
In
the
present
case,
the
utmost
care
has
been
taken
to
prevent
disappoint-
ment
of
every
kind,
and
whenever
information
is
promised
we
have
endeavored
to
give
it
fully,
accurately,
and
in
the
of
the
best
recipes
'
'
simplest
possible
language.

Allow
no

to

the
bystanders
to

a
clear
space
of

ten
feet

direction
around

One
of
the
best
restoratives
is

this

manding

administration,
but
they
are
agents
of
much
value
in
the
treatment
of
that
condition
of
coUajDse
and
faint-
ness
which
very
commonly
occurs
after
some
i^hysical
injur-

The
symi^toms
may

nausea,
or
even
actual
sickness
the
breathing
is
sighing
and
irregular,
and
for
a
time
there
may
be
actual
insensibility.
Now
under
such
conditions
there
can
be
no
question
as
to
the
jiroj^riety
of

by
the administration
of
stimulants.
Coflee

and
strong,
and
in
small
quantities,

a
safe
and
useful
remedy.
Spirituous
liquors
are
more
potent
in
their
effects,
and
the
good
effect
is
produced
more
speedily.
Brandy
is
the
best
spirit,

in

form
failing
this,
rum
or
wine
may
be
given.
If
the
si^irits
can

some
low

then
whiskey
is
to
be
preferred
to
brandy
or
wine,
as
being
less
liable
to
adulteration.
In

articles
the
best
j^ractical
rule
is
to
give
