Fine Skin Creams.

For those who have occasion TO use
much cold cream, the following recipe
viii prove not only most healing and
delightful, but can be made at one-quar-
ter the expense that one is in the habit
of mourning for creams of best quality:
Take one-half pound of the very best
lard and boil five minutes in pint of
water, then place in cold water to cool.
When perfectly cold, boil in exactly
the same way again. Repeat this opera
tion four times. Then melt this clari-
fled lard by itself and thoroughly beat
into it a small-sized bottle OF glycerine
and cucumber. Another excellent cold
cream is made as follows: Take two
ounces of oil of sweet almonds, one
dram of white wax, one dram Of
spermaceti, one-half pint of rose water
or orange water Melt and stir in a
mortar till cold. A very simple and eff
ficacious salve for the lips may be made
by taking equal parts of almond or
olive oil and the best white wax Melt
the wax in clean saucepan, set it on
the side of the4stove, and stir in the oil.
