Ingredients
- six drops of orange-blossom tea
- half pint of rain-water
- one teaspoonful
- one pint of sherry wine
- one ounce of powdered gum of benzoin in a pint of whisky
- a pint of whisky
- one drachm of benzoin gum in powder
- one drachm nutmeg oil
Directions
Put in a vial one drachm of benzoin gum in powder, one drachm nutmeg oil, six drops of orange-blossom tea, or apple blossoms put in half pint of rain-water and boiled down to one teaspoonful and strained, one pint of sherry wine. Bathe the face morning and night; will remove all flesh-worms and freckles, and give a beautiful complexion. Or, put one ounce of powdered gum of benzoin in a pint of whisky; to use, put in water in wash-bowl till it is milky, allowing it to dry without wiping. This is perfectly harmless.
Cream cures sun-burn on some complexions, lemon juice is best on others, and cold water suits still others best.
