Take 8 ounces of soft-soap, of olive oil, and spirits of wine, each 4 ounces, 1 ounce of lemon-juice, sufficient silver-sand to form into a thick paste, and any perfume that is grateful to the person.
Boil the oil and soap together in a pipkin, and then gradually stir in the sand and lemon-juice. When nearly cool add the spirit of wine, and lastly the perfume. Make into a paste with the hands, and place in jars or pots for use.
This paste is used instead of soap, and is a valuable addition to the toilette, as it preserves the skin from chapping, and renders it smooth and soft.
