Year: 1888

page_text: I, HANS HUGO GLENCK, of No. 3, Clarendon Road, Notting Hill, in the County
of Middlesex, Retired Officer of the Austrian Army do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to an improved lotion for the hair and scalp; and is an
improvement upon the invention patented to me by Letters Patent No. 28021888
and described in the Specification bearing that number, and dated February 24th 1888.
In that specification, to which I intentionally refer, I have described a method of
preparing a certain improved lotion for the hair and scalp by mixing alcohol and
apple juice in certain proportions. I have now ascertained that in order to produce
the best results, the apple juice should be of that particular quality and composition
which is yielded by rotton, i.e., fully decayed, apples. The expression of the juice is
effected according to any convenient or well-known method.
Again, with reference to the alcohol, I find that all alcohols are not, for the purpose
of this present invention, equally effective. The particular alcohol which, according
to my present invention, I find yields the most satisfactory results, is that known as
grape alcohol, used at a strength of 27° under proof when the thermometer stands
at 61° F, but I do not confine myself to this strength.
The intention and advantages of my present invention will be gathered from the
following.
1. It can make the hair grow..
2. It can prevent the hair falling off.
3. It can both remove and prevent scurf, dandriff, and other analogous abnormal
growths upon the scalp.
4. It is capable of preserving the hair in a healthy condition; and, as a consequence
of this quality, of preventing the hair sinking into that senile condition known as
premature greyness.
5. It is capable of keeping the scalp in a perfectly healthy condition in spite of the
various and varying influences, either internal or external, exerted upon it either by
care, mental labour, a close and hot atmosphere, or a climate in strong contrast to
that in which the particular individual whose crinicultural interests are concerned, and
his ancestors were born and bred.

page_text: 6. In addition to the properties as above set forth, my invention is also capable of
fortifying the nerves of the head against unsanitary external influences; and therefore,
of removing, and preventing, for instances, such harassing ailments as the, unhappily
too-well-known, headache.
The relative proportions in which the said ingredients should be mixed are as
follows:
Apple juice of the kind specified above
Grape alcohol
"
وو
-
2 fluid ounces.
-
1 pint.
The lotion prepared as described is applied to the scalp once a day, by rubbing an
ounce of it into the scalp until it has been absorbed by the latter.
With reference to the proportions of the alcohol and apple juice to be used, I
do not confine myself to any particular strength, but may modify it, in respect
thereof, according to the conditions of the particular case to be treated, for it is
obvious that as the causes of premature senility in respect of the hair vary, so
also may it be necessary to vary the composition of the preventive or curative
agent. But the proportions which I have specified above are those which I find to
be the best.
Any scent may be added to the preparation above described according to the
fancy of either vendor or purchaser..
a lotion
I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not now make any general
claim to a composition of any apple juice with any alcohol to serve as
for the hair and scalp; but
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
ر
1. In preparing a lotion for the hair and scalp by mixing apple juice and alcohol,
using juice expressed from rotten apples and alcohol, as above set forth.
2. In preparing a lotion for the hair and scalp by mixing apple juice and
alcohol, using juice expressed from rotten apples and grape alcohol, as above set
forth.
Dated this 29th day of October 1888.
