Sorry I didn't save the formula but I did look up salicylic acid in the
Spectrum catalog. Reagent grade is $19.45 per 125 gm and $49./00 per 500
gm. No prescription necessary. It's absurd, I know, but one can buy through
chemical supply houses chemicals without a prescription as long as they are
not a controlled substance then you need a DEA permit. One can by medical
grade (copper clad) ether without a prescription (very popular at Victorian
era parties!) through your chemical supply house but not at the pharmacy.

More about Bath as soon as I can catch up around here. I'm going to put up
a bunch of snaps on my web page and I am hoping to get Richard Morris's
Calotypes of the massed alt-photoists in scanned form from England soon.
