We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

At the close, formulas will be given for those who desire to work out their own salvation. 2. An ounce bottle of potassium bromide. Take an empty ounce bottle, fill one-fourth of it with bromide crystals and then fill up with water. Shake it thoroughly; if all the crystals dissolve, put in some more and shake again. In a short time one can be satisfied that no more crystals will dissolve. When this state of affairs is reached, the solution is said to be "saturated." And a saturated solution of the bromide is what is wanted. Mark the bottle " bromide solution." It is used in connection with the developer. 3. The acid sulphite of soda is used in con- nection with hyposulphite of soda. 4. A solution of hyposulphite of soda, com- monly called "hypo," or the fixing solution. Take 8 ounces of hypo, put it in 32 ounces of water and shake until the crystals are dissolved, then add half a drachm of the acid sulphite of soda. Mark this bottle "hypo solution." The acid sulphite keeps the hypo solution clear, so that there is no danger of staining the plates. A very small quantity is sufficient, too much is an evil. Hypo is very cheap, so don't work it to death. A fresh solution should be made every day or two if many plates are fixed, and a fresh solution is always safer even if only a few plates are to be fixed. Never use it if the solution is yellow or brown. 5. Put powdered alum into a pint bottle of water until no more will dissolve and some undissolved powder remains on the bottom of the bottle.
