Syrups

syrup

or

glucose

by

the

addition

of

aqueous

extract

of

guaiac

wood.

The

wood,

finely

rasped,

is

boiled

down

to

the

condition

of

an

extract.

This

is

shaken

up

with

ether,

or

a

mixture

of

alcohol

and

ether,

to

get

rid

of

the

resinous

matters

taken

up

in

boiling.

Some

manufac-

turers

attain

the

desired

end,

though

not

so

completely,

by

adding

cold

water

to

the

aqueous

extract

while

still

hot,

which

causes

the

resinous

matter

to

precipitate.

After

standing

a

little

the

clear

extractive

is

poured

off

and

is

ready

for

use.

It

is

said

that

when

a

proper

mix-

-

ture

of

cane

syrup

and

glucose

is

used

the

imitation

of

the

maple

flavor

is

so

near

as

to

puzzle

an

expert.
