The method of curinp: sk1 ns us<'d by our mcmbc>r<~
is as follows : " Stretch the sktn tightly on a. board.
scrn.pe well to remove all bits of fat or fi<>sh adhcrm~,
rub m a mn~turo of powdered alum and common
salt (half of alum to two of salt), and leavo for
three weeks, rubbing i n a little more now and th<>n
if nc<'es~a.ry. Then wipe dry, and rub in wlutRnmg,
aft.cr which rub daily \\rtth pumtco stone until th<'
skm is quite dry and soft. The whitening is to
dry it, and must be wt>ll rubbed into the edges.''
We do not consider this method perfect, and shall
be glad of tho expert's advi<'e.
