Acetic acid, 4 Fs—the strongest—2 lbs.; French isinglass, 1 lb. Boil in a porcelain kettle.

He bought the isinglass in a 1 lb. package for $1. 25, and the acid, 2 lbs. for 50 cents, including the bottle, and he had a 1 gal. porcelain kettle with him, and first put the acid in and placed it on the stove in the hotel, kitchen where he was stopping, and when it was about boiling hot he took the package of isinglass by the end and stirring the acid with it it soon dissolved down near his fingers; then he dropped all in, and with a sliver from the wood, stirred it around a little all
