Make Smelling Salts.

Smelling salts can be made at home, or, If one has already purchased a bottle, the strength can be kept up and so make the salts last much longer. To prepare a salts bottle, put in carbonate of ammonia, adding ’ one part of any desired perfume to eight of the carbonate of ammonia. Another method is to put Into a wide mouthed glass stoppered bottle small bits of fine sponge, fill with common liquid ammonia, adding a few drops of any perfume desired. As the bits of sponge dry they can be moistened time and again.
