Photographers’ Ointment.
| Best castile soap, in fine shavings | 1 ounce |
| Water | 1 ounce |
| Wax | 1 ounce |
| Ammonia | 45 minims |
| Lanolin | 1 ounce |
The soap is dissolved in the water heated for that purpose, the wax mixed in with much stirring, and, when all is in solution, the ammonia is added. When clear, the lanolin is put in, and then, if the mixture is very thick, water is added until the whole has the consistency of honey. Keep in a covered stoneware jar. The hands should be first washed with ordinary soap, and then, while the lather is still on them, a bit of the mixture about the size of a hazel nut is rubbed in until all is absorbed, and the hands are dry. At the close of the work, the film of wax is washed off in warm water and a little lanolin rubbed into the hands.
