SCARIFICO.--Dr. BLINKORN, M.R.S.V.P., writes:--"I have analysed a
sample of 'Scarifico' sent me, and I find it a hap-hazard compound, in
which suspended fats, brick-dust, fuller's earth, road-sweepings, and
the bi-phosphates of soda are indiscriminately mixed. I cannot say
whether it would be found a 'comfortable and cleansing preparation for
the infant's skin,' as claimed by the proprietors, but should be more
inclined to recommend it as an 'efficient mud-remover from cart-wheels
and cleaning of ships' foul bottoms,' to its capabilities for which
purposes they also direct the attention of their customers."
