Abstract
To overcome the great difficulty experienced by teachers of practical chemistry in Indian colleges in procuring supplies of glassware during the war, Prof. Dunnicliff devised a number of easy methods of renovating and adapting to new uses damaged apparatus made of glass. In this workmanlike little book he describes the processes he has developed and explains how difficulties may be surmounted with success. Teachers in charge of chemical laboratories at home will find the volume very useful, and the uses for damaged calcium chloride tubes, broken test-tubes, flasks, retorts, burettes, and so on, will show them how they may both effect economy and maintain efficiency.
