First make up a suitable soap body and afterwards add the medicament. For instance, carbolic soaps may be made as follows: -

1. – Cocoanut oil………………......…       20 pounds
Tallow………………………….......….         4 pounds
Sodadye (38° to 40° B.)………....….        12 pounds
Phenol…………………………......….         1 pound

Prepare the body soap by stirring the liquefied fat into thedye at 113° F, and when combination has set in, incorporate the phenol and quickly pour into molds. Cover the later well. Instead of the phenol 2 pounds of sulphur may be used, and a sulphur soap made.

2. – Cotton oil…………………......…      200 parts
Alcohol, 91 percent……………........      300 parts
Water……………………………........      325 parts
Caustic soda………………….....…..        45 parts
Ether…………………………….........        10 parts
Carbolic acid………………….......….        25 parts

The oil is mixed in a large bottle with water, 100 parts; alcohol, 200 parts; and caustic soda, 45 parts, and after saponfication the remaining alcohol and the potassium carbonate dissolved in the rest of the water, and finally the carbolic acid and the ether are added and the whole well shaken. The mixture is filled in tightly closed bottles and stored at medium temperature. The preparation may be scented as desired, and the carbolic acid replaced with other antiseptics.
