FORMULA.

Quince seed¼ounce
Distilled extract witch hazel1 pint
Glycerine¼pint
Alcohol¼pint
Powdered Boracic Acid160 grains
Carbolic Acid32 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)½ounce
Glycerine4 ounces
Distilled or rain water½gallon

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.
