SEVEN SUTHERLAND SISTERS’ HAIR GROWER.

Stearns’ Bay Rum                  7 fluid ounces
Dist.  Extract of Witch-Hazel      9 fluid ounces
Sodium Chloride                   1 dram
Hydrochloric Acid (5 per cent)    1 drop
Magnesia                          sufficient

Mix the bay rum and distilled extract of witch-hazel, and shake with a little magnesia; filter, and in the filtrate dissolve the salt and add the hydrochloric acid.  The agitation with magnesia causes the preparation to assume a yellow color; but by rendering it very slightly acid, with one drop of five per-cent hydrochloric acid, this color all disappears.  The above amount would cost about 50 cents.
