FORMULA.
| Quince seed | ¼ | ounce |
| Distilled extract witch hazel | 1 | pint |
| Glycerine | ¼ | pint |
| Alcohol | ¼ | pint |
| Powdered Boracic Acid | 160 | grains |
| Carbolic Acid | 32 | drops |
| Perfume to suit. |
Directions for Making.—First put quince seed in witch hazel and let stand twenty-four hours. Then strain through cheese cloth and add the other ingredients. I know this to be good for the face after shaving.
PYTHIAN CREAM.
This is another preparation for the face and hands.
FORMULA.
| Gum Tragacanth (in flake) | ½ | ounce |
| Glycerine | 4 | ounces |
| Distilled or rain water | ½ | gallon |
Directions for Making.—Put gum tragacanth in water and let stand till thoroughly dissolved, and strain through a cheese cloth. Then add the glycerine and a sufficient amount of Pythian bouquet to perfume. Color pink with powdered carmine. It should be about the consistency of cream. If too thick add more water. There should be a half-gallon water to the four ounces of glycerine when finished.
BAY CREAM.
The only difference between this and Pythian Cream is in the perfume. Some like the bay rum better.
