Eau
de
Cologne
2
oz.
Tincture
of
Cantharides
1/2
oz.
Oil
of
Nutmegs
1/2
drachm.
Oil
of
Lavender
10
drops.
To
be
well
mixed
together.
Another
is
composed
of:--
Mezereon
bark
in
small
pieces
1
oz.
Horse-Radish
root
in
small
pieces
1
oz.
Boiling
distilled
Vinegar
1/2
pint.
Let
this
infusion
stand
for
a
week,
and
then
strain
through
muslin
for
use.
If
irritating
to
the
skin,
these
lotions
can
be
made
weaker,
or
less
frequently
applied
than
might
otherwise
be
necessary.
Either
of
them,
or
distilled
vinegar
alone,
may
be
rubbed
into
a
bald
patch
with
a
tooth-brush.
The
same
lotions
may
also
be
used
if
the
hair
is
disposed
to
become
gray
too
early;
as
they
invigorate
the
apparatus
situated
beneath
the
skin,
and
enable
it
to
take
up
coloring
matter.
Dyeing
of
the
hair
is
a
practice
which
ought
never
to
be
resorted
to.
Those
who
are
unwilling
or
unable
to
discontinue
the
practice
of
applying
some
kind
of
dressing
to
the
hair,
should,
at
least,
content
themselves
with
a
simple,
yet
good
material.
The
best
olive
oil
is
most
suitable
for
the
purpose,
scented
with
otto
of
roses
or
bergamot;
the
latter,
as
many
persons
know,
is
the
essence
of
a
species
of
mint.
The
same
scents
may
also
be
used
for
pomatum,
which
should
be
made
of
perfectly
pure
lard,
or
marrow.
HAIR
OILS,
&c.--When
used
moderately,
oils,
ointments,
&c.,
tend
to
strengthen
the
hair,
especially
when
it
is
naturally
dry.
When
used
in
excess,
however,
they
clog
the
pores,
prevent
the
escape
of
the
natural
secretions,
and
cause
the
hair
to
wither
and
fall
off.
The
varieties
of
"oils,"
"Greases,"
"ointments,"
rivaling
each-other
in
their
high
sounding
pretensions,
which
are
daily
imposed
upon
public
credulity,
are
interminable.
We
add
one
or
two
of
the
most
simple.
