Li Wan nodded her head by way of assent and smiled. "This will be putting you to much trouble and inconvenience," she said. "But we must really act as you suggest.
For this purpose, I have found the earth precipitated from a solution of alum, by means of fixed alcali, given in the dose of half a dram every six hours, of great advantage, with a few grains of rhubarb, so as to produce a daily evacuation.
'It's the medicine costs the money, said Dora; 'look how expensive jujubes are at the chemist's, and peppermints too. 'That's only because they're nice, Dicky explained; 'nasty things are not so dear. Look what a lot of brimstone you get for a penny, and the same with alum.

This light is received on a powerfully converging mirror silvered in front, and brought to a focus by the mirror. You can see the conical beam of reflected light tracking itself through the dust of the room. A scrap of white paper placed at the focus shines there with dazzling brightness, but it is not even charred. On removing the alum cell, however, the paper instantly inflames.
