A Receipt For Pomade

Three ounces of olive oil, three quarters of a drachm of the oil of almonds, two drachms of palm oil, half an ounce of white wax, a quarter of a pound of lard, and three quarters of a drachm of the essence of bergamot.

Bandoline

An ounce of the seed of quinces must be boiled in three pints of water till reduced half, then strain it, and add a few drops of essence to perfume it. Keep it in wide-mouthed, well-corked bottles.

Another Kind Of Bandoline

Boil a quarter of an ounce of Irish moss in one quart of water. When sufficiently thick, bottle it, and put a teaspoonful of rectified spirits in each bottle to prevent mildew.

Lip Salve

Take two ounces of oil of sweet almonds, half an ounce of white wax, and half an ounce of rose-water; cut the wax into small pieces, put them in a mortar, and set the mortar in a vessel of boiling water, When the wax has melted, take out the mortar, and add the oil by degrees, beating the pestle until it is cool; mix the rose-water with the mass. To color it, rub a little carmine with the oil before mixing it with the wax. A little beeswax melted in sweet oil, makes a cheap lip salve.
