of
potassa
1
oz.
Cologne
2
oz.
White
brandy.
4
oz.
"The
warm
water
and

alone
are
sometimes
sufficient."
"TO
REMOVE
FRECKLES.--The
most
celebrated
compound
ever
used
for
the
removal
of
freckles
was
called
Unction
de
Maintenon,
after
the
celebrated
Madame
de
Maintenon,
mistress
and
wife
of
Louis
XIV.
It
is
made
as
follows:--
"Venice
soap
1
oz.
Lemon-juice
1/2
oz.
Oil
of
bitter
almonds
1/4
oz.
Deliquidated
oil
of
tartar
1/4
oz.
Oil
of
rhodium
3
drops
"First
dissolve
the
soap
in
the
lemon-juice,
then
add
the
two
oils,
and
place
the
whole
in
the
sun
till
it
acquires
the
consistence
of
ointment,
and
then
add
the
oil
of
rhodium.
Anoint
the
freckly
face
at
night
with
this
unction,
and
wash
in
the
morning
with
pure
water,
or,
if
convenient,
with
a
mixture
of
elder-flower
and
rose-water.
"TO
REMOVE
TAN.--An
excellent
wash
to
remove
tan
is
called
Creme
de
l'Enclos,
and
is
made
thus:
"New
milk
1/2
pint.
Lemon-juice
1/4
oz.
White
brandy
1/2
oz.
"Boil
the
whole,
and
skim
it
clear
from
all
scum.
Use
it
night
and
morning.
"A
famous
preparation
with
the
Spanish
ladies
for
removing
the
effects
of
the
sun
and
making
the
complexion
bright,
is
composed
simply
of
equal
parts
of
lemon-juice
and
the
white
of
eggs.
The
whole
is
beat
together
in
a
varnished
earthen
pot,
and
set
over
a
slow
fire,
and
stirred
with
a
wooden
spoon
till
it
acquires
the
consistence
of
soft
pomatum.
This
compound
is
called
Pommade
de
Seville.
If
the
face
is
well
washed
with
rice-water
before
it
is
applied,
it
will
remove
freckles,
and
give
a
fine
lustre
to
the
complexion."
