pearlash

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

Take half a pound of turmeric, and a quarter of a pound of pearlash; boil in a gallon of water.

Boil the wood in the rose-water in a glass vessel; then, when cold, add the pearlash and spirit.

Hard water spoils the color of vegetables; a pinch of pearlash or salt of wormwood will prevent that effect.
