ROW POMATUM.

Purified lard, 4 lbs.
" suet, 2 lbs.
Otto of lemon, 1 oz.
" bergamot, 1/2 oz.
" cloves, 3 drachms.

Melt the greases, then beat them up with a whisk or flat wooden spatula
for half an hour or more; as the grease cools, minute vesicles of air
are inclosed by the pomatum, which not only increase the bulk of the
mixtures, but impart a peculiar mechanical aggregation, rendering the
pomatum light and spongy; in this state it is obvious that it fills out
more profitably than otherwise.

COMMON VIOLET POMATUM.

Purified lard, 1 lb.
_Washed_ acacia pomatum, 6 oz.
" rose pomatum, 4 oz.

Manipulate as for marrow pomatum.

In all the cheap preparations for the hair, the manufacturing perfumers
used the washed French pomatums and the washed French oils for making
their greases. Washed pomatums and washed oils are those greases that
originally have been the best pomatums and huiles prepared by enfleurage
and by maceration with the flowers; which pomades and huiles have been
subject to digestion in alcohol for the manufacture of essences for the
handkerchief. After the spirit has been on the pomatums, &c., it is
poured off; the residue is then called _washed_ pomatum, and still
retain an odor strong enough for the manufacture of most hair greases.

For pomatums of other odors it is only necessary to substitute rose,
jasmine, tubereuse, and others, in place of the acacia pomatum in the
above formulae.

POMADE DOUBLE, MILLEFLEURS.

Rose, jasmine, fleur d'orange, violet, tubereuse, &c., are all made in
winter, with two-thirds best French pomatum, one-third best French oils;
in summer, equal parts.

POMADE A LA HELIOTROPE.

French rose pomade, 1 lb.
Vanilla oil, 1/2 lb.
Huile de jasmine, 4 oz.
" tubereuse, 2 oz.
" fleur d'orange, 2 oz.
Otto of almonds, 6 drops.
" cloves, 3 drops.

HUILE ANTIQUE. (_A la Heliotrope_.)

Same as the above, substituting rose oil for the pomade.

PHILOCOME.

The name of this preparation, which is a compound of Greek and Latin,
signifying "a friend to the hair," was first introduced by the Parisian
perfumers; and a very good name it is, for Philocome is undoubtedly one
of the best unguents for the hair that is made.
