Indelible Marking Ink Without A Preparation


Dissolve separately one

ounce of Nitrate of Silver and one and one-half ounces of Sub-Carbonate

of Soda (best washing soda) in rain water. Mix the solutions and

collect and wash the precipitate in a filter; while still moist rub it

up in a marble or hardwood mortar with three drachms of Tartaric Acid,

add two ounces of Rain Water, mix six drachms White Sugar and ten

drachms powdered Gum Arabic, one-half ounce Archill and Water to make

up six ounces in measure. It should be put up in short drachm bottles

and sold at twenty-five cents. This is the best ink for marking clothes

that has ever been discovered. There is a fortune in this recipe, as a

good marking ink is very salable.
