Banned book: kid's chemistry http://www.chrisbrunner.com/2006/09/21/banned-the-golden-book-of-chemistry-experiments/ I loved this book! Haven't seen it in decades, and the article mentions it selling for over $500 on eBay. A very 'unsanitized' book for childhood shenannigans. Make hydrogen from lye and foil! Draw pictures with burning hydrogen sulfide! Don't breath the oxides of nitrogen too much! It even shows kids how to ferment corn syrup and yeast ...then distill out ethanol ...then use bleach to turn it into chloroform. Cool! Too bad all those chemicals are no longer available from the quoted source: "Hardware Store." Though amazingly enough, the local Bartell Drugs carried powdered sulfur and other interesting things. No nitric acid though. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
