317. AMBERGRIS HAIR-POWDER.

Take twelve pounds of fine starch-powder, add three pounds of the

ambergris perfume: mix them well together, and run it twice through a

fine hair sieve. Put it into a well closed box, or glass, for use.

This is the first and best sort of ambergris powder: but for a

second, or inferior sort, put only a pound and a half of the perfume,

to the above quantity of starch-powder.
