These formulas come from a notebook I found years ago in an old house. It contains the potions and recipes used to manufacture household products and some of the patent medicines of the 1860's, including a cure for cancer. I will transcribe them as written to the best of my ability but much of the language is unfamiliar. I offer this for the interest of the reader only. Many of the ingredients are hazardous in the extreme. Do not try or believe any of the claims made.
