[2] Alum - "a double sulfate of of ammonium or a univalent metal (such as sodium or potassium) and a trivalent metal (such as aluminum, iron or chromium): it is used as an astringent, as an emetic and in the manufacture of baking powders, dyes and paper; the commonest form is potash alum (potassium aluminum sulfate)." Staff Report From The Straight Dope Science Advisory Board. April 23, 1999. [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1397/what-is-alum-and-will-it-make-someones-mouth-shrink-like-in-the-cartoons ]

[3] Cwt. or 'Hundredweight is a "unit of measurement for weight used in certain commodities trading contracts. In North America, a hundredweight is equal to 100 pounds and is also known as a short hundredweight. In Britain, a hundredweight is 112 pounds and is also known as a long hundredweight." © 2014, Investopedia US, A Division of IAC. [http://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hundredweight.asp ]

[4] Iron(II) sulfate or ferrous sulfate is the chemical compound with the formula FeSO4. It is used medically to treat iron deficiency (anemia.), and also for industrial applications. such as the manufacturing of inks and pigments. Ferrous sulfate has been known since ancient times as copperas, and, as green vitriol [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II)_sulfate]

[5] Spermaceti, "a wax, liquid at body temperature, obtained from the head of a sperm whale or bottlenose whale. Spermaceti was used chiefly in ointments, cosmetic creams, fine wax candles, pomades, and textile finishing; later it was used for industrial lubricants. The substance was named in the mistaken belief that it was the coagulated semen of the whale. The fluid contained in the spermaceti organ of the whale’s head was removed to obtain crude sperm oil. The spermaceti was separated from the oil by chilling in a process whalers called wintering; it congealed as a white crystalline, waxy solid. Chemically, pure spermaceti consists principally of cetyl palmitate and other esters of fatty acids with fatty alcohols and melts at about 44 °C (111 °F). The former official unit of illumination, the candlepower, was defined as the light given off by a candle of pure spermaceti burning at a rate of 7.776 grams (120 grains) per hour." ©2014 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/559400/spermaceti ]

[6] Duck is "any of a broad range of strong, durable, plainwoven fabrics made originally from tow yarns and subsequently from either flax or cotton. Duck is lighter than canvas or sailcloth and differs from these in that it is almost invariably single in both warp and weft, or filling. The fabric, in its various qualities and colours, is used for an enormous variety of goods, including tents, wagon and motor hoods, light sails, belting, mailbags and other bags and pocketings, and clothing; the plural form is used colloquially for trousers made of the material. Russian duck is a fine white linen canvas." ©2014 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. {http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/172928/duck ]

[16] May refer two one of two plant species. Black cohosh or black snakeroot, Cimicifuga racemosa, is widely used in herbal medicine for women. "Native Americans used black cohosh to treat gynecological and other disorders, including sore throats, kidney problems, and depression. Following the arrival of European settlers in the U.S. who continued the medicinal usage of black cohosh, the plant appeared in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia in 1830 under the name “black snakeroot”. In 1844 A. racemosa gained popularity when Dr. John King, an eclectic physician, used it to treat rheumatism and nervous disorders." Actaea racemosa. Wikipedia. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actaea_racemosa ] Snakeroot, Aristolochia spp., has been "cultivated for medicinal use since the at least the middle ages when it was used as a birthing herb. It was also used in early America in adjunct to quinine to promote perspiration and break fevers, and treat snakebites." © 2005 - 2014 Annie's Remedy.

[19] Muscovado is a "type of unrefined brown sugar with a strong molasses flavor. It is very dark brown in colour, and slightly coarser and stickier than most brown sugars. Unlike most brown sugars, which are composed of refined white sugar with molasses added, muscovado takes its flavour and colour from the sugarcane juice it is made from. It offers good resistance to high temperatures and has a reasonably good shelf life. The unrefined sugar goes well with coffee and other beverages. Muscovado is well known for its distinct flavourful taste and is also known to be the purest form of sugar. It is completely free from any harmful chemicals such as phosphoric acid, formic acid, sulphur dioxide, preservatives, or any flocculants, surfactants, bleaching agents or viscosity modifiers." Muscavado. [http://muscovadosugar.webs.com/ ]

[28] Lignum vitae is a trade wood, also called guayacan or guaiacum,[1] and in parts of Europe known as pockholz, from trees of the genus Guaiacum. This wood was once very important for applications requiring a material with its extraordinary combination of strength, toughness, and density.Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignum_vitae ]

[29] braziletto os a"very heavy wood of a reddish color, imported from Brazil and other tropical countries, for cabinet-work, and for dyeing. The best is the heartwood of Caesalpinia echinata, a leguminous tree; but other trees also yield it. An inferior sort comes from Jamaica, the timber of Caesalpinia braziliensis and Caesalpinia crista. This is often distinguished as Braziletto, but the better kind is also frequently so named. The wood is also used for violin bows." [http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/braziletto ]
