Chapped Skin
1. Glycerine
... 8 parts
Bay
rum
.
4 parts
Ammonia
water
4 parts
Rose
water
4 parts
Mix the bay rum and
glycerine, add the ammonia water, and finally the rose water. It is
especially efficacious after shaving.
2. As glycerine is
bad for the skin of many people, here is a recipe which will be found more
generally satisfactory as it contains less glycerine: Bay rum 3 ounces;
glycerine, 1 once carbolic acid, ½ drachms (30 drops). Wash the hands well
and apply while hands are soft, preferably just before going to bed. Rub in
thoroughly. This rarely fails to cure the worst" chaps in two nights.
