How to Use the Magic Paper.

For taking off patterns of embroidery, place a piece of thin paper over the embroidery to prevent soiling, then lay on the magic paper, and you put on the cloth you wish to take copy on, to embroider, pin fast, and rub over with a spoon handle, and every part of the raised figure will be shownti on the plain cloth. To take impressions of leaves on paper, place the leaf, smooth side up, on a sheet of this paper, cover with a piece of waste paper, and rub as before. Upon removing you will find a beautiful impression of the leaf or fern. Beautiful designs may be made in this way, with the different variety of leaves and ferns, by blending the different colors, similar to spat tar work. —Dr. Chases Receipt Book.
