fresh
mutton
suet;
and
a
little

alkanet
root:
and
simmer
the
whole
together
in
an
earthen
pipkin.
Instead
of
the
oil
of
sweet
almonds
you
may
use
oil
of
Jasmin,
or
oil
of
any
other
flower,
if
you
intend
the
lip-salve
to
have
a
fragrant
odour.--2.

pound
of
fresh
butter;
a
quarter

a
pound
of
beeswax;
four

and
about
an
ounce
of
bruised
alkanet
root.
Simmer
them
together
over
a
slow
fire
till
the
wax
is
wholly
dissolved,
and
the
mixture
becomes
of
a
bright
red
color;
strain,
and
put
it
by
for
use.
