In  conclusion,  the  author,  in  advocating  the  adoption  of  the  pre- 
ceding formulae  would  say  that  any  means  used  to  insure  success,  are 
always  secondary  in  importance  to  the  quality  of  the  materials  used. 
No  process,  however  good  in  itself,  can  hope  to  remedy  defects  in  the 
qualities  of  its  ingredients,  or  the  hasty,  careless  manipulations  of  its 
operators.  With  these  guarded  against,  there  need  be  no  disappoint- 
ment in  the  results  obtained.
