MARROW POMATUM.

Purified lard, 4 lbs.
" suet, 2 lbs. 
Otto of lemon, 1 oz.
" bergamot, 1/2 oz.
" cloves, 3 drachms.

Melt the greases, then beat them up with a whisk or flat wooden spatula for half an hour or more; as the grease cools, minute vesicles of air are inclosed by the pomatum, which not only increase the bulk of the mixtures, but impart a peculiar mechanical aggregation, rendering the pomatum light and spongy; in this state it is obvious that it fills out more profitably than otherwise.

COMMON VIOLET POMATUM.

Purified lard,                     1 lb.

Manipulate as for marrow pomatum.

In all the cheap preparations for the hair, the manufacturing perfumers used the washed French pomatums and the washed French oils for making their greases.  Washed pomatums and washed oils are those greases that originally have been the best pomatums and huiles prepared by enfleurage and by maceration with the flowers; which pomades and huiles have been subject to digestion in alcohol for the manufacture of essences for the handkerchief.  After the spirit has been on the pomatums, &c., it is poured off; the residue is then called washed pomatum, and still retain an odor strong enough for the manufacture of most hair greases.

For pomatums of other odors it is only necessary to substitute rose, jasmine, tubereuse, and others, in place of the acacia pomatum in the above formulae.

PHILOCOME.

The name of this preparation, which is a compound of Greek and Latin, signifying “a friend to the hair,” was first introduced by the Parisian perfumers; and a very good name it is, for Philocome is undoubtedly one of the best unguents for the hair that is made.

PHILOCOME. (First quality.)

White wax,                   10 oz. 
Fresh rose-oil,               1 lb.
"  acacia oil,              1/2 lb.
"  jasmine oil,             1/2 lb.
"  fleur d’orange oil,        1 lb.
"  tubereuse oil,             1 lb.

Melt the wax in the huiles by a water-bath, at the lowest possible temperature.  Stir the mixture as it cools; do not pour out the Philocome until it is nearly cool enough to set; let the jars, bottles, or pots into which it is filled for sale be slightly warmed, or at least of the same temperature as the Philocome, otherwise the bottles chill the material as it is poured in, and make it appear of an uneven texture.
