| Mutton Tallow | 1 | ounce |
| Lard | 1 | ounce |
| Menthol (in crystals) | 3 | drachms |
Melt together and pour off in salve boxes.
Both the Camphor Ice and the Menthol salve are good for tender faces.
SILVER GLOSS SHAMPOO.
This is an economic and very satisfactory preparation.
FORMULA.
| White Castile Soap (the very best) | 1 | pound |
| Refined Carbonate of Potash | ¾ | pound |
| Distilled or rain water | 1 | gallon |
| Table Salt | ½ | ounce |
Refined Carbonate of Potash is also called Pure Salts of Tartar. I have found the English brands preferable.
Directions.—Shave the soap fine and put into the water (as per above formula), which should be contained in a porcelain vessel.
Let it boil until soap is thoroughly dissolved and strain off into another vessel, and then add the pure salts of tartar while still hot. Add the salt and enough more boiling water to replace the amount which has boiled away, and continue to stir until it becomes only luke warm; then add a few drops of the oil of cloves (or some other perfume), if desirable. Finally pour off in small jelly jars and set away for use. 1 gallon made in this way will make 5 gallons of ordinary shampoo, by simply adding 4 gallons more of water. This quantity should not cost over fifty cents. A pound of the refined carbonate of potash costs twenty cents, and a pound of castile soap only fifteen cents, and the perfume will cost less than the remainder of 50 cents.
