"If
the
hands
are
inclined
to
be
rough
and
to
chap,
the
following
wash
will
remedy
the
evil.
Lemon-juice
3
oz.
White
wine
vinegar
3
oz.
White
brandy
1/2
pint."
FOR
THE
HAIR.--"Beat
up
the
white
of
four
eggs
into
a
froth,
and
rub
that
thoroughly
in
close
to
the
roots
of
the
hair.
Leave
it
to
dry
on.
Then
wash
the
head
and
hair
clean
with
a
mixture
of
equal
parts
of
rum
and
rose-water."

through
porous
paper,

bottled
for

"This

a
good

and
an
excellent
perfume."
"TO
REMOVE
PIMPLES.--There
are
many
kinds
of
pimples,
some
of
which
partake
almost
of
the
nature
of
ulcers,
which
require
medical
treatment;
but
the
small
red
pimple,
which
is
most
common,
may
be
removed
by
applying
the
following
twice
a-day:--
"Sulphur
water
1
oz.
Acetated
liquor
of
ammonia
1/4
oz.
Liquor
of
potassa
1
gr.
White
wine
vinegar
2
oz.
Distilled
water
2
oz."
"TO
REMOVE
BLACK
SPECKS
OR
'FLESHWORMS.'--Sometimes
little
black
specks
appear
about
the
base
of
the
nose,
or
on
the
forehead,
or
in
the
hollow
of
the
chin
which
are
called
'fleshworms,'
and
are
occasioned
by
coagulated
lymph
that
obstructs
the
pores
of
the
skin.
They
may
be
squeezed
out
by
pressing
the
skin,
and
ignorant
persons
suppose
them
to
be
little
worms.
They
are
permanently
removed
by
washing
with
warm
water,
and
severe
friction
with
a
towel,
and
then
applying
a
little
of
the
following
preparation:--
