Your pharmacist can likely order it for you. The guys that own their own stores (as opposed to the chain drug stores) are great at this kind of thing, even when it's not "drug related".

salt peter (potassium nitrate) is an ingredient that can be used to make gun powder, amatuer rocket propellant, smoke bombs, fireworks, fertilizer, and fuses
used in making salami and corned beef so the meat has that characteristic pink hue, also helps in preventing bacterial infection.
it all sounds fun, except for making fertilizer ... i didn't see any drug references

I meant that it doesn't have to be a pharmaceutical product for them to help you out. The mom & pop pharmacists will often take the time to track down those hard to find chemicals for your pet projects (insert all the legal disclaimers).

going to see how this corned beef brisket turns out ... i might continue to cure my own meat if this turns out decent ... if i keep doing it i will ask my local pharmacist to order it for me 
next step is some pastrami ... after that i might try my luck at hard salami

Alton Brown had a good eats episode on corned beef.
You might be able to find them online.
Good luck. You going to make some pastrami?
