Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 44 of 4: Published by Authority of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy Chewing gum, as has been already stated, is the softer variety of pa rafiin; although this is apparently a very trivial and non-important article, it is in reality sold in enormous amounts by many of the whole sale confectioners. The manufacturers of friction matches are heavy purchasers of paraffin, which they use for impregnating the sticks, so that they will more readily ignite, and burn with greater uniformity. Of late, paraffin is also beginning to be used extensively for the pur pose of sizing various textile fabrics. Paraffin or ozokerite candles are well known, and they are confidently asserted to produce a finer light than any other variety. Confectioners also use paraffin to im part a gloss or lustre to some of their bon-bons, such as cream choco late drops and others.
