Black Copying Ink Or Writing Fluid


Take two gallons of Rain Water,

and put into it Gum Arabic one-fourth pound, Brown Sugar one pound,

clean Copperas one-fourth pound, Powdered Nutgall three-fourths pound;

mix, and shake occasionally for ten days, and strain; if needed sooner

let it stand in an iron kettle until the strength is obtained. This ink

will stand the action of the atmosphere for centuries if required.
