The Centennial Illuminating Oil


Recipe for Making One Gallon.--Take

seven-eighths gallon Benzine or crude Petroleum, add to it one-half

ounce Gum Camphor, one-half ounce Alcohol, one-half pint common Salt,

one-half ounce Oil of Sassafras. Stir and mix it well for about five

minutes. Let is stand for twenty-four hours and it is ready for use. It

is better to buy the Benzine from Pittsburgh, Pa., as the druggists

usually charge two or three times the wholesale price.
