I, PAULINE AMEY BAUDOIN, of 88, Great Titchfield Street, County of London,
Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
The object of this invention is, a method of preparing certain ingredients for
the production of an embrocation for a massage treatment of persons suffering
from obesity or corpulency, also for improving the pliability of the muscles and
rendering the skin soft and healthy in appearance.
.
For the purpose of this invention. I employ a preferably Castile soap, animal
gall, spirits of wine, or its equivalent and a decoction or liquor from stewed
seaweed in or about certain proportions which when prepared as hereafter
described forms an embrocation to be rubbed where required on the human body.
In practice, I dissolve say 1 lb. Castile soap in warm water and stirring to a
thick pasty like consistency to which while warm I add a pint and a half of
animal gall and continue the stirring till thoroughly associated, I then pour in
1 pint of spirits of wine, and finally a half pint of liquor produced in a similar
way to tea but from fresh seaweed."
I then raise the temperature of the mixture to near boiling point in a close
vessel for, say, half an hour, and after cooling down I pour it off into glass jars
or bottles with close fitting stoppers.
con-
The ingredients thus combined and prepared in the manner set forth
stitute an embrocation to be applied to any desired part of a person's body for
the purpose already explained.
The embrocation may be perfumed in any desired manner to counteract the
smell of the gall, and in use it is of a slight greasy like feel to the touch, does
not produce irritation or rash, and can be applied at any time but preferably
after a bath when the pores of the skin are open. It will improve the appearance
of the skin and make it smooth, and in cases of corpulency a few applications with
gentle rubbing (massage) will gradually reduce it without producing a flabbiness,
the tendency of the embrocation being to tighten the skin.

page_text: the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The object of this invention, is a method of preparing certain ingredients for
the production of an embrocation for a massage treatment of persons suffering
from obesity or corpulency, also for improving the pliability of the muscles and
rendering the skin soft and healthy in appearance.
For the purpose of this invention, I employ soap (preferably Castile soap), animal
gall, spirits of wine, or its equivalent, and a decoction or liquor from stewed
seaweed in or about certain proportions which when prepared as hereafter
described, forms an embrocation to be rubbed where required on the human body.
In practice, I dissolve, say, 1 lb Castile soap in warm water and stirring to a
thick pasty like consistency to which, while warm, I add a pint and a half of
animal gall and continue the stirring till thoroughly associated, I then pour in
1 pint of spirits of wine, and finally a half pint of liquor produced in a similar
way to tea, but from fresh seaweed.
I then raise the temperature of the mixture to near boiling point in a close
vessel for, say, half an hour, and after cooling down I pour it off into glass jars
or bottles with close fitting stoppers.
The ingredients thus combined and prepared in the manner set forth con-
stitute an embrocation to be applied to any desired part of a person's body for
the purpose already explained.
The embrocation may be perfumed in any desired manner to counteract the
smell of the gall, and in use it is of a slight greasy like feel to the touch, does
not produce irritation or rash, and can be applied at any time-but preferably
after a bath when the pores of the skin are open.
It will improve the appearance of the skin and make it smooth, and in cases
of corpulency, a few applications with gentle rubbing (massage) will gradually
reduce it without-producing-a-flabbiness, the tendency-of-thezembrocation-being
to tighten the skin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
1. The herein described improved embrocation for human use consisting of an
admixture of soap, animal gall, spirits of wine, and a liquor derived from fresh
seaweed, as and for the purposes referred to.
2. The method herein described of treating soap, animal gall, spirits of wine, or
its equivalent, and fresh seaweed for the manufacture of an embrocation for the
purposes set forth..
