[THRIVE
BY
HONESTY,
OR
REMAIN
POOR.]
1699.
Pomade
against
Baldness.
Beef
marrow,
soaked
in
several
waters,
melted
and
strained,
half
a
pound;
tincture
of
cantharides
(made
by
soaking
for
a
week
one
drachm
of
powdered
cantharides
in
one
ounce
of
proof
spirit),
one
ounce;
oil
of

Erasmus
Wilson's
Lotion
against
Baldness.
Eau-de-Cologne,
two
ounces;
tincture
of
cantharides,
two
drachms;
oil
of
lavender
or
rosemary,
of
either
ten
drops.
These
applications
must
be
used
once
or
twice
a
day
for
a
considerable
time;

if
the
scalp

1701.
Bandoline
or
Fixature.
Several
preparations
are
used;
the
following
are
the
best:
i.
Mucilage
of
clean
picked
Irish
moss,
made
by
boiling
a
quarter
of
an
ounce
of
the
moss
in
one
quart
of
water
until
sufficiently
thick,
rectified
spirit
in
the
proportion
of
a
teaspoonful
to
each
bottle,
to
prevent
its
being
mildewed.
The
quantity
of
spirit
varies
according
to
the
time
it
requires
to
be
kept.
ii.
Gum
tragacanth,
one
drachm
and
a
half;
water,
half
a
pint;
proof
spirit
(made
by
mixing
equal
parts
of
rectified
spirit
and
water),
three
ounces;
otto
of
roses,
ten
drops;
soak
for
twenty-four
hours
and
strain.
Bergamot
may
be
substituted
for
the
otto
of
roses.
1702.
Excellent
Hair
Wash.
Take
one
ounce
of
borax,
half
an
ounce
of
camphor;
powder
these
ingredients
fine,
and
dissolve
them
in
one
quart
of
boiling
water;
when
cool,
the
solution
will
be
ready
for
use;
damp
the
hair
frequently.
This
wash
effectually
cleanses,
beautifies,
and
strengthens
the
hair,
preserves
the
colour,
and
prevents
early
baldness.
The
camphor
will
form
into
lumps
after
being
dissolved,
but
the
water
will
be
sufficiently
impregnated.
