Firstly, bicarbonate of potass, aniline (primrose yellow) and capsicum, which are
infused with sulphur.
Secondly, bicarbonate of potass, salicylate of soda, which are infused with

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Compositions for Preserving Beer, Wine, Milk,
and other Liquids.
I, JOHN WILLIAM PICKLES, of 40 Claypit Lane, Woodhouse Lane, in the
City of Leeds, Drysalter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists in new or improved compositions for preserving beer, wine,
milk, and other liquids.
According to my invention I combine ;
Firstly, bicarbonate of potass, boracic acid, aniline primrose yellow, which are
infused with sulphur, and capsicum added when packing.
Secondly, bicarbonate of potass, salicylate of soda, and boracic acid, which are
infused with sulphur, the amount of which is judged or regulated according to the
condition of the different bodies.
The above form two separate compositions, and may be used as such, or they
may be combined or used conjointly as one according to circumstances, either with
or without capsicum and primrose yellow.
I combine the said ingredients in proportions such as follows, say for about
60 lbs. of composition No. 1.

Boracic acid
Salicylate of soda
Bicarbonate of potass.

Sulphur fumes obtained from burning 4 lbs. of sulphur which may be added to
as required, the more sulphur infused the better.
In carrying out the infusion process, the composition or ingredients are placed in
a fixed chamber fitted with a perforated bottom, underneath which is one end of a
pipe leading or branching into a further chamber in which the sulphur is burnt, the
fumes from which are driven by means of a fan provided in connection with the
said sulphur chamber along the said branch pipe, into the chamber holding
the composition or ingredients with which the said fumes mix.
Or I may employ a rotary chamber for holding the composition or ingredients,
which may be driven or have motion imparted to it by hand. In this case the
sulphur fumes are obtained in the same manner and passed into the rotary chamber
by means of the fan and branch pipe or connection.
The motion of the rotary chamber causes an agitation of the composition or
ingredients which produces a better infusion of the sulphur with the materials.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A composition, for preserving beer, wine, milk, and other liquids, infused with
sulphur, substantially as set forth.
2. The composition, for preserving beer, wine, milk, and other liquids, composed
of bicarbonate of potass, boracic acid, aniline primrose yellow, capsicum, and
sulphur infused therein, substantially as set forth.
3. The composition, for preserving beer, wine, milk, and other liquids, composed
of boracic acid, salicylate of soda, bicarbonate of potass, and sulphur infused
therein, substantially as set forth.
4. The composition, for preserving beer, wine, milk, and other liquids, composed
of bicarbonate of potass, boracic acid, salicylate of soda, and sulphur infused
therein, with or without capsicum and primrose yellow, substantially as set forth.
