ANTI-FRECKLE
LOTION,
2.--Take
1
ounce
of
rectified
spirit
of
wine;
1
drachm
of
hydrochloric
acid
(spirit
of
salt);
and
7
ounces
of
water.
Mix
the
acid
gradually
with
the
water,
and
then
add
the
spirit
of
wine;
apply
by
means
of
a
camel's-hair
brush,
or
a

of
flannel.
GOWLAND'S
LOTION.--Take
1-1/2
grains
of
bichloride
of
mercury,
and
1
ounce
of
emulsion
of
bitter
almonds;
mix
well.
Be
careful
of
the
bichloride
of
mercury,
because
it
is
a
poison.
This
is
one
of
the
best
cosmetics
for
imparting
a
delicate
appearance
and
softness
to
the
skin,
and
is
a
useful
lotion
in
acne,
ringworm,
hard
and
dry
skin,
and
sun-blisterings.
COLD
CREAM.--Sweet
almond
oil,
7
lbs.
by
weight,
white
wax,
3/4
lb.,
spermaceti,
3/4
lb.,
clarified
mutton
suet,
1
lb.,
rose-water,
7
pints,
spirits
of
wine,
1
pint.
Directions
to
mix
the
above:--Place
the
oil,
wax,
spermaceti,
and
suet
in
a
large
jar;
cover
it
over
tightly,
then
place
it
in
a
saucepan
of
boiling
water,
(having
previously
placed
two
or
more
pieces
of
fire-wood
at
the
bottom
of
the
saucepan,
to
allow
the
water
to
get
underneath
the
jar,
and
to
prevent
its
breaking)
keep
the
water
boiling
round
the
jar
till
all
the
ingredients
are
dissolved;
take
it
out
of
the
water,
and
pour
it
into
a
large
pan
previously
warmed
and
capable
of
holding
21
pints;
then,
with
a
wooden
spatula,
stir
in
the
rose-water,
cold,
as
quickly
as
possible,
(dividing
it
into
three
or
four
parts,
at
most,)
the
stirring
in
of
which
should
not
occupy
above
five
minutes,
as
after
a
certain
heat
the
water
will
not
mix.
When
all
the
water
is
in,
stir
unremittingly
for
thirty
minutes
longer,
to
prevent
its
separating,
then
add
the
spirits
of
wine,
and
the
scent,
and
it
is
finished.
Keep
it
in
a
cold
place,
in
a
white
glazed
jar,
and
do
not
cut
it
with
a
steel
knife,
as
it
causes
blackness
at
the
parts
of
contact.
Scent
with
otto
of
roses
and
essential
oil
of
bergamot
to
fancy.
For
smaller
quantities,
make
ounces
instead
of
pounds.
