them in a wide-mouthed jar or bottle made of glass, and as much of the best
alcohol or high rectified spirits of wine as will cover or rise above the surface
(when pressed down) six inches; then place such jar or bottle in the rays of
the sun for six or seven days, more or less, as may be required; then draw off
the same by distillation. When the aromatic spirit is fully prepared, there
must be dissolved therein such aromatic gums as may be thought necessary to
select of each one ounce. When the mucilage is ready, mix with the same, of
rosewood powder, of Turkey rose leaves, and oriss root, until it becomes the
consistency of paste, then add to the composition, being in weight one pound,
the following essentials: atto of roses, three drachms; oil of cloves, four
drachms; best grain musk, four drachms; frankensense and myrrh, each two
