CHARLES ROSE WITCHER OFFEN 144 High Street, Kingsland, London, E. Baker &
Confectioner, ALEXANDER THOMAS MORE 144 High Street Kingsland Baker & Con-
fectioner 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 :-
For the purpose of performing our invention we make a mixture which we prefer
to be composed more or less as follows; namely, ten parts, more or less, or portions,
by weight, of Salicylic of Soda; three parts, more or less, or portions by weight of
Boracic Acid, and four parts, more or less, or portions by weight of Biborate of Soda.
These several parts are thoroughly mixed together and reduced to an impalpable
powder by well known means, and is hereafter to be used as follows; namely, one
part or portion by weight of the above admixture is dissolved in twenty parts or
portions by weight of boiling distilled water contained in a suitable receptacle, and
after three hours or thereabout this solution will become perfectly clear and trans-
parent, when it is ready and fit for further use as follows; namely, we take twelve
parts or portions by weight of the above described solution and mix it intimately and
thoroughly with one hundred and ten parts or portions more or less of the Wheat or
other Cereal or admixture of Cereals which have previously been crushed, or if pre-
ferred, reduced together or separately to what is commonly known as flour or fine
powder. The Yeast or other ferment or raiser is then added in the proportion as
commonly known and used, after a thorough mixture of the above ingredients
together with sufficient water or other suitable liquid, a soft plastic dough is produced.
This resulting dough can then be cooked by means of Baking or otherwise, or be mixed
with various condiments, fruits, &c. to produce, after cooking by Baking or otherwise,
the several articles prepared by Bakers, Cooks, and Confectioners, to be used and
consumed as food, After these articles have been prepared it will be found that the
yeast, ferment, or other raiser, having performed its office of raising and impregnating

page_text: the afore described admixture or dough, has become deprived of any further fermenting
power whatsoever.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is ;
The discovery of a new process and Improvement by admixture or selection of the
above described Salicylic of Soda, Boracic Acid, and Biborate of Soda either or all
in the above described proportions more or less, to prevent the second or further
fermentation of yeast or any other ferment or raiser when combined with Wheat or
any other cereal or admixture of cereals to be consumed or used as food.
Dated this Second day of December 1887.
