The "cachou” used in the composition is obtained by boiling in water chips of
the "mimosa catechu to obtain an infusion which is afterwards evaporated and a
solid substance left. The cachou thus obtained is composed of about 52 per cent.
of digallic acid (its active principle), 30 per cent. of gum or mucilage, 10 per cent.
of fatty or oily vegetable matter, and traces of insoluble lime and,alumina.
The proportions and composition of the different materials may be varied more
or less according to the purpose and the character of the water to which the
composition is to be applied. The composition is not in any way injurious when
used in manufactures.
