pearlash

Thousands of wagon loads of pure saleratus and pearlash could be got here.

If any kind of acid be taken, in poisonous quantities, give strong pearlash-water.

Be careful to drain them well, and not to let any gilding, or bronze, be injured by the pearlash-water coming in contact with it.

It is a rule never to use pearlash for Indian, unless to correct the sourness of milk; it injures the flavor of the meal.

The potash should be purified from the best pearlash; and the borax should be refined by one or two crystallizations.
