Take 6 ounces of common pomatum, and add to it 3 ounces of white

virgin wax, scraped fine. Melt them in an earthen pan, immersed in a

larger one, containing boiling water; both being placed over a clear

and steady fire. When properly incorporated, keep stirring, until it

is nearly cold; then put it into small pots, or make it up into small

rolls. Perfume it according to taste.
