Dissolve
two
ounces
of
borax
in
three
pints
of
water;
before
quite
cold,
add
thereto
one
teaspoonful
of
tincture
of
myrrh,
and
one
tablespoonful
of
spirits
of
camphor:
bottle
the
mixture
for
use.
One
wineglassful
of
the
solution,
added
to
half
a
pint
of
tepid
water,
is
sufficient
for
each
application.
This
solution,
applied
daily,
preserves
and
beautifies
the
teeth,
extirpates
tartarous
adhesion,
produces
a
pearl-like
whiteness,
arrests
decay,
and
induces
a
healthy
action
in
the
gums.
1688.
Camphorated
Dentifrice.
Prepared
chalk,
one
pound;
camphor,
one
or
two
drachms.
The
camphor
must
be
finely
powdered
by
moistening
it
with
a
little
spirit
of
wine,
and
then
intimately
mixing
it
with
the
chalk.
1689.
Myrrh
Dentifrice.
Powdered
cuttlefish,
one
pound;
powdered
myrrh,
two
ounces.
1690.
American
Tooth
Powder.
Coral,
cuttlefish
bone,
dragon's
blood,
of
each
eight
drachms;
burnt
alum
and
red
sanders,
of
each
four
drachms;
orris
root,
eight
drachms;
cloves
and
cinnamon,
of
each
half
a
drachm;
vanilla,
eleven
grains;
rose-wood,
half
a
drachm;
rose-pink,
eight
drachms.
All
to
be
finely
powdered
and
mixed.
1691.
Quinine
Tooth
Powder.
Rose
pink,
two
drachms;
precipitated
chalk,
twelve
drachms;
carbonate
of
magnesia,
one
drachm;
quinine
(sulphate),
six
grains.
All
to
be
well
mixed
together.
1692
Hair
Dye.
To
make
good
hair
dye
some
lime
must
be
first
obtained,
and
reduced
to
powder
by
throwing
a
little
water
upon
it.
The
lime
must
then
be
mixed
with
litharge
in
the
proportion
of
three
parts
of
lime
to
one
of
litharge.
This
mixture,
when
sifted
through
a
fine
hair
sieve,
forms
the
most
effectual
hair
dye
that
has
yet
been
discovered.
