SAUL'S CATARRH REMEDY.

Tincture of Benzoin Compound 1 ounce
Tincture of Tolu 1 ounce
Chloroform 1/2 dram
Sulphuric Ether 1/2 dram
Aromatic Spirits of Ammonia 4 drams

SEVEN SUTHERLAND SISTERS' HAIR GROWER.

Stearns' Bay Rum 7 fluid ounces
Dist. Extract of Witch-Hazel 9 fluid ounces
Sodium Chloride 1 dram
Hydrochloric Acid (5 per cent) 1 drop
Magnesia sufficient

Mix the bay rum and distilled extract of witch-hazel, and shake with a
little magnesia; filter, and in the filtrate dissolve the salt and add the
hydrochloric acid. The agitation with magnesia causes the preparation to
assume a yellow color; but by rendering it very slightly acid, with one
drop of five per-cent hydrochloric acid, this color all disappears. The
above amount would cost about 50 cents.

SKINNER'S DANDRUFF MIXTURE.

Hydrate of Chloral 1 dram
Glycerin 4 drams
Bay Rum 16 drams

The above amount would cost about 25 cents.

ST. JACOB'S OIL.

Chloroform 1 ounce
Sulp. Ether 1 ounce
Laudanum 1/2 ounce
Oil Origanum 1/2 ounce

Mix. The above amount, eight pints, would cost about $2.25 or 30 cents per

of the drugs, so as to measure about four pints, and in this dissolve
eight pounds of sugar to make the syrup. The above amount, four pints,
would cost about $1.00.
