Melt, on the water bath, the oil, wax, and glycerine together, remove and as the mass cools down add the perfume in sufficient quantity to make a creamy mass. {238}
| II.— | Quince seed | 1 ounce |
|---|---|---|
| Boric acid | 16 grains | |
| Starch | 1 ounce | |
| Glycerine | 16 ounces | |
| Carbolic acid | 30 minims | |
| Alcohol | 12 ounces | |
| Oil of lavender | 30 minims | |
| Oil of rose | 10 drops | |
| Extract of white rose | 1 ounce | |
| Water enough to make | 64 ounces |
Dissolve the boric acid in a quart of water and in this solution macerate the quince seed for 3 hours; then strain. Heat together the starch and the glycerine until the starch granules are broken, and mix with this the carbolic acid. Dissolve the oils and the extract of rose in the alcohol, and add to the quince-seed mucilage; then mix all together, strain, and add water enough to make the product weigh 64 ounces.
| III.— | Glycerine | 1 ounce |
|---|---|---|
| Borax | 2 drachms | |
| Boracic acid | 1 drachm | |
| Oil rose geranium | 30 drops | |
| Oil bitter almond | 15 drops | |
| Milk | 1 gallon |
Heat the milk until it curdles and allow it to stand 12 hours. Strain it through cheese cloth and allow it to stand again for 12 hours. Mix in the salts and glycerine and triturate in a mortar, finally adding the odors and coloring if wanted. The curdled milk must be entirely free from water to avoid separation. If the milk will not curdle fast enough the addition of 1 ounce of water ammonia to a gallon will hasten it. Take a gallon of milk, add 1 ounce ammonia water, heat (not boil), allow to stand 24 hours, and no trouble will be found in forming a good base for the cream.

It may be perfumed or not.
