Lotion de Gowland (Do not attempt)

Take:

  • 1 grains of bichloride of mercury (poison)
  • 1 ounce of emulsion of bitter almonds



Mix well.

Be careful of the bichloride of mercury, because it is a poison. This is one of the best cosmetics for imparting a delicate appearance and softness to the skin, and is a useful lotion in acne, ringworm, hard and dry skin, and sun-blisterings.
