FOR
THE
LIPS.
VERY
EXCELLENT
LIP-SALVE.--Take
four
ounces
of
butter,
fresh
from
the
churn,
cut
it
small,
put
it
into
a
jar,
cover
it
with
good
rose-water,
and
let
it
remain
for
four
or
five
days;
then
drain
it
well,
and
put
it
into
a
small
and
very
clean
saucepan,
with
one
ounce
of
spermaceti,
and
one
of
yellow
beeswax
sliced
thin,
a
quarter
of
an
ounce
of
bruised
alkanet
root,
two
drachms
of
gum
benzoin,
and
one
of
storax,
beaten
to
powder,
half
an
ounce
of
loaf
sugar,
and
the
strained
juice
of
a
moderate
sized
lemon.
Simmer
these
gently,
keeping
them
stirred
all
the
time,
until
the
mixture
looks
very
clear,
and
sends
forth
a
fine
aromatic
odour;
then
strain
it
through
a
thin
doubled
muslin,
and
stir
to
it
from
twelve
to
twenty
drops
of
essential
oil
of
roses,
and
pour
it
into
small
gallipots,
from
which
it
can
easily
be
turned
out
when
cold,
and
then
be
rubbed
against
the
lips,
which
is
the
most
pleasant
way
of
using
it,
as
it
is
much
firmer
than
common
lip-salve,
and
will
be
found
more
healing
and
infinitely
more
agreeable.
When
butter
cannot
be
had
direct
from
the
churn,
any
which
is
quite
fresh
may
be
substituted
for
it,
after
the
salt
has
been
well
washed
and
soaked
out
of
it,
by
working
it
with
a
strong
spoon
in
cold
water,
in
which
it
should
remain
for
a
couple
of
days
or
more,
the
water
being
frequently
changed
during
the
time.
