Wouldn't it be economical to make your own glue, paint, crayons, lipstick, and deodorant? How about your own firecrackers, dynamite, and "medicinal" opium wine? This fascinating book, reprinted from the 1930s, takes the reader back to a time when Americans had free access to hard drugs; people were responsible enough to be given recipes for poisons, explosives, and highly addictive substances; and making such items as soap, disinfectants, and insecticides was commonplace. A useful piece of publishing, books such as this were seen in most homes next to the almanac, as important as ice coolers and canning equipment. Two Thousand Formulas, Recipes, and Trade Secrets provides instructions for making adhesives, paints and inks, garden elixirs such as insecticides and weed killers, lubricants, photo developers, polishes, and much more.
