PALM
SOAP.--I
make
it
in
the
following
manner:--Cut
thin
two
pounds
of
yellow
soap
into
a
double
saucepan,
occasionally
stirring
it
till
it
is
melted,
which
will
be
in
a
few
minutes
if
the
water
is
kept
boiling
around
it;
then
add
quarter
of
a
pound
of
palm
oil,
quarter
of
a
pound
of
honey,
three
pennyworth
of
true
oil
of
cinnamon;
let
all
boil
together
another
six
or
eight
minutes;
pour
out
and
stand
it
by
till
next
day;
it
is
then
fit
for
immediate
use.
If
made
as
these
directions
it
will
be
found
to
be
a
very
superior
soap.
CURE
FOR
CHAPPED
HANDS.--Take
3
drachms
of
gum
camphor,
3
drachms
of
white
beeswax,
3
drachms
of
spermaceti,
2
ounces
of
olive
oil,--put
them
together
in
a
cup
upon
the
stove,
where
they
will
melt
slowly
and
form
a
white
ointment
in
a
few
minutes.
If
the
hands
be
affected,
anoint
them
on
going
to
bed,
and
put
on
a
pair
of
gloves.
A
day
or
two
will
suffice
to
heal
them.
TO
WHITEN
THE
NAILS.--Diluted
sulphuric
acid,
2
drachms;
tincture
of
myrrh,
1
drachm;
spring
water,
4
ounces.
Mix.
First
cleanse
with
white
soap,
and
then
dip
the
fingers
into
the
mixture.
TO
WHITEN
THE
HANDS.--Take
a
wine-glassful
of
eau
de
Cologne,
and
another
of
lemon-juice;
then
scrape
two
cakes
of
brown
Windsor
soap
to
a
powder,
and
mix
well
in
a
mould.
When
hard,
it
will
be
an
excellent
soap
for
whitening
the
hands.
