    FRANK W. STERRY, OF MORRISANIA, NEW YORK.


    Letters 'PatmtlV'o. 60,955, dated January 1, 1867.

    IMPROVED COMPOUND FOB. SWEETEINING, COLORING, AND FLAVORING TOBAOOO.


    ' ?tlge ?tteimle rsfcmt in in time new new amt making-om at its smut. ,
    --.

    TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Be it known that I, FRANK W. STERRY, of Morrisania, in the county of Westchester, and State of New York, have'invented a new and improved Compound for .Sweetening, Coloring, and Flavoring Tobacco; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description-thereof, which will enable others
    skilled in the art to make and use the same. '

    This invention relates to a novel compound whereby ?ne out or any other chewing tobacco is sweetened and colored, without any dangerous ingredients. '

    The-invention consists in so combining and compounding the powdered radix glycyrrhiza or licorice root,

    with the powdered extract of the same, which is ommonly known under the application of paste (or calabria)
    licorice, and with powdered white sugar, that the aforesaid results will be obtained when the mixture of the threepo-wders is spread over the tobacco. The aforesaid ingredients are compounded in about the following

    proportions,making 5parts of weight, viz': powdered radix glycyrrhiza, 2 parts; powdered extract rad: gly
    cyrrhiza, 1 part; powdered white sugar, 2 parts = 5 parts. Each of the ingredients is ?rst passed through a mill, and is therein ground to a very-?ne powder. The three powders are then mixed and manipulated by passing through a mill or otherwise, so as to make the mixture more perfect and ~complete. Any other process for preparing and mixing the ingredients may be substituted for the one herein described. The pastelicorice
    is not only too expensive, but it also colors too deep when moistened, to allow it to be used with the sugar alone. Therefore, I takeonly a. small quantity of the same, and addthe licorice root, which-has the same ?avor and strength almost as 'the paste licorice,-but which is considerably cheaper and does not color as deep. The

    two licorices mixed in the aforesaid proportions have just the requisite color. when moistened. The compound may be mixed with the tobacco, either when casing, 2'. e., pressing the same, previous to. cutting it, or after it has been out. In the latter case the powder is spread over the tobacco by means of a sieve, the tobacco being still moist enough to retain a su?icient quantity of the powder. Having thus described my invention, _what I claim as new,~and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

    A compound for sweetening, ?avoring, and coloring tobacco; which is made of the aforesaid ingredients, in
    about theaproportions herein set forth. '
    ' FRANK W. STERRY.

    Theabove specification of my invention signedby me this 21st day of November, 1866.
