Hungarian wine-oil is wine ether in combination with a peculiar acid called the oenanthic acid. This compound exists in all grape wines, and, when extracted, is employed for flavouring an artificial cognac which can scarcely be distinguished from the genuine. For this purpose it was very lately on sale in Breslau, at the price of sixty-nine dollars a pound! It was prepared in Hungary--whence its name--and was distilled from wine husks.

Another mode is, to mix sugar or starch with powdered chalk and a little curd of milk in water, and set it aside. The curd gradually causes the sugar to change, first into lactic acid, and then into butyric acid, which combines with the lime of the chalk. This butymte of lime, distilled with alcohol and sulphuric acid, gives the pineapple oil. h. Otter artificial fragrances.--The above are only samples, so to speak, of the almost endless variety of artificial compound ethers, possessed of sweet smells, which are either already manufactured, or are capable of being so, easily and cheaply for use as perfumes. There are, for example, many other acids which are capable of uniting with each of the three simple ethers I have mentioned, and of forming with them compounds possessed of agreeable odours. We know already that the formic and hippuric acids each yield, when united with the wine and wood spirit ethers, very agreeable perfumes which are still nameless; and the number of similar compounds which may be formed with other a...
