5. The Only Sensible and Safe Hair Oil.—The following is considered a most valuable preparation: Take of extract of yellow Peruvian bark, fifteen grains; extract of rhatany root, eight grains; extract of burdoch root and oil of nutmegs (fixed), of each two drachms; camphor (dissolve with spirits of wine), fifteen grains; beef marrow, two ounces; best olive oil, one ounce; citron juice, half a drachm; aromatic essential oil, as much as sufficient to render it fragrant; mix and make into an ointment. Two drachms of bergamot, and a few drops of attar of roses would suffice.
I think it would take more than a couple of drachms of bergamot to counteract the camphor and beef marrow so I’ll give that sensible and safe hair oil a miss.
because we have enough trouble with the various odours that leak from our patients as it is.
The oil of citron, and the aromatic essential oil will mask the beef marrow. Actually it reminds me on the old California Poppy days – – –
Well, I’d try it but I’m all out of extract of yellow Peruvian bark at the moment …
So that is what an arse-trumpet looks like.
I had wondered.
I thoroughly approve of re-cycling naturally.
Do people give each other beef marrow on their 6th or 7th wedding anniversary?
I love bergamot but only in my Earl Grey
70s Teen: I am not sure Earl Grey would approve, the poor blighter.
