A GOOD BEAUTY CREAM.
MAKE IT YOURSELF. Powdered alum, three drams; boric acid, one dram; tincture of benzoin, 40 drops; olive oil, 40 drops; mucilage cf acacia, five drops; rose (or any other perfume) sufficient to perfume); rice flour (quantity sufficient to make up the cream); whites of two eggs. Mix the alum and whites of eggs, dissolving the former by constant even stirring at a very slight heat. Care must be exercised to avoid " lumping" of the egg albumen. This can be done more successfully in a warm water bath. Half immerse the smaller vessel containing the white of the eggs in another large one at a suitable low temperature. Continue stirring until the liquid part of the egg disappears. Allow the residue so obtained to get completely cold, and then add the boric acid, tincture of benzoin, oil and mucilage. Stir together thoroughly, at the same time adding and rubbing up sufficient rice flour to give the cream its desired consistency. Finally add the perfume and keep in a suitablo jar.
