as often as
required, according to the strength of odor of the fruit desired in the
grease.

PIVERS' POMADE OF CUCUMBER.

Benzoinated lard, 6 lbs.
Spermaceti, 2 lbs.
Essence of cucumbers, 1 lb.

Melt the stearine with the lard, then keep it constantly in motion while
it cools, now beat the grease in a mortar, gradually adding the essence
of cucumbers; continue to beat the whole until the spirit is evaporated,
and the pomade is beautifully white.

_Melons_ and other similar fruit will scent grease treated in the same
way. (See "Essence of Cucumbers," p. 204.)

POMADE DIVINE.

Among the thousand and one quack nostrums, pomade divine, like James's
powder, has obtained a reputation far above the most sanguine
expectations of its concoctors. This article strictly belongs to the
druggist, being sold as a remedial agent; nevertheless, what _is_ sold
is almost always vended by the perfumer. It is prepared thus:--

Spermaceti, 1/4 lb.
Lard, 1/2 lb.
Almond oil, 3/4 lb.
Gum benzoin, 1/4 lb.
Vanilla beans, 1-1/2 oz.

Digest the whole in a vessel heated by a water-bath at a temperature not
exceeding 90 deg. C. After five or six hours it is fit to strain, and may be
poured into the bottles for sale. (Must be _stamped_ if its medicinal
qualities are stated.)

ALMOND BALLS.

Purified suet, 1 lb.
White wax, 1/2 lb.
Otto of almonds, 1 drachm.
" cloves, 1/4 drachm.

CAMPHOR BALLS.

Purified suet, 1 lb.
White wax, 1/2 lb.
Camphor, 1/4 lb.
Otto of French lavender or rosemary, 1/2 oz.

Both the above articles are sold either white or colored with alkanet
root. When thoroughly melted, the material is cast in a mould; ounce
gallipots with smooth bottoms answer very well for casting in. Some
venders use only large pill-boxes.

CAMPHOR PASTE.

Sweet almond oil, 1/2 lb.
Purified lard, 1/4 lb.
Wax and spermaceti, }
Camphor, } each, 1 oz.

GLYCERINE BALSAM.

Of the remedial action of any of the above preparations we cannot here
discuss; in giving the formulae, it is enough for us t
