saleratus

Thousands of wagon loads of pure saleratus and pearlash could be got here.

I might also mention several other additions, which, like saleratus, it is becoming fashionable to make.

Some housekeepers soak ripe peas over night, in water in which they have dissolved a little saleratus.

The water, in many of the springs, is sufficiently strong to raise bread, equally as well as saleratus or yeast.

Some trains were without fruit, and most of them depended upon saleratus for raising their bread.
