>>The Paragon stain  was designed for frozen sections and was marketed by a 
company by the name of Paragon. The formula that appeared on the bottles of 
Paragon stain was as follows:
Toluidine blue  CI 520040 ................0.73 gm
Basic fuchsin , CI 42510 ................0.27 g,
Ethyl alcohol, 30% ........................100 ml <<

I prepared the stain by this formula for a locum tenens client in 1982. He 
said it worked like the old stain for frozen sections.
