This book would be called "chemistry life hacks" if it were written today. That being said, the flagrant use of neurotoxins, unstable explosive compounds, and heavy metals means it probably wouldn't make it on the bookstore shelves.
There are actually a lot of good recipes in here, other than the scary toxins of course. This book would have been extremely useful to someone who knew a little chemistry in the 30s and wanted to save money and make stuff at home. I just picked out some of the more ridiculous formulas and tested them in this video.

The "oriental barometer", my grandmother had pottery ornaments with crystals on them, that would change from pink to blue with humidity. They were pretty common back in the '80s, though maybe they were a remnant from the '70s or '60s. I was fascinated by them. They were known to be weather-forecasting things, though I dunno how accurate.
