page_text: SOPHIA SIDNEY REBECCA LINDSEY, Ryall House, Earl's Croome, near Worcester,
Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a new or improved preparation for
use as a hair wash, or tonic. Now according to this invention I place in a
suitable vessel a gallon of water (preferably filtered rain water). To this I add
twelve ounces of rosemary, and I allow this mixture to remain for from eight
to twelve hours. The vessel (with its contents) after having been furnished
with a non-airtight covering is then placed in a pan half-filled with water
which is allowed to boil for about two hours. (Instead of the pan above referred
to an ordinary water-jacketed boiling pan may be employed). I then add to
the above mixture the following further ingredients in or about the proportions
stated, namely,
Borax
-
Spirits of Wine
Ammonia
Camphorated Spirit
-
-
two ounces
eight ounces
-
two drachms
two ounces 累
-
The pan is then emptied of the boiling water and fresh cold water is placed
in it. The vessel (and contents) is then placed in the pan and again boiled
for about two hours, after which the vessel is removed and the mixture allowed
to cool. When the mixture has cooled the liquor is poured into a convenient
receptacle, preferably through a filter formed of damped chamois, or other suit-
able material. The liquor may be re-filtered in a similar manner and then
used or stored in suitable receptacles.
Although the proportions of the various ingredients hereinbefore stated are
the best known to me at present, I do not bind myself to such proportions
absolutely as the same may be varied without departing from my invention.

I, SOPHIA SIDNEY REBECCA LINDSEY, of Ryall House, Earl's Croome, near
Worcester, Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
ID 0/1

page_text: in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to produce a new or improved preparation for
use as a hair wash or hair tonic.
Now according to this invention I first produce a sufficiently concentrated
infusion of rosemary. This infusion may be obtained by adding 12 ounces of
rosemary to one gallon of water (preferably filtered rain water) and allowing
the rosemary and water to stand undisturbed for from 8 to 12 hours in any
suitable vessel but preferably constructed of a material which will readily
permit the transmission of heat to its contents and of such a shape as will
facilitate its opening to be closed. I then close the vessel with any non-airtight
material preferably of some loosely woven textile fabric. The vessel is then
placed in any suitable boiling pan and the rosemary and water boiled for about
two hours.
Instead of the boiling pan above referred to an ordinary water-jacketted boiling
pan may be employed.
To the infusion thus obtained I add the following in or about the proportions
stated:-
Borax (preferably reduced to Powder)
Spirits of Wine
Ammonia
Camphorated Spirit
-
2 ounces
-
8 ounces
2 drachms
2 ounces
The water in the boiling pan or water jacket is then replaced by cold water
and the mixture is again boiled for two hours or thereabouts. The mixture is then
allowed to cool and when cool is poured or drawn off into a convenient receptacle
through a filter formed of any suitable material but preferably of damped
chamois. The liquor may then be re-filtered, and is ready for use or storage
for use.
Although the proportions of the various ingredients herein before stated are
the best known to me at present I do not bind myself to such proportions abso-
lutely as the same may be varied without departing from my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The hair wash or hair tonic composed of water rosemary borax spirits of
wine ammonia camphorated spirit substantially in or about the proportions
herein before stated.
2. In the production of a hair wash or hair tonic the process consisting of
first obtaining an infusion of rosemary by adding rosemary to water and
allowing to stand undisturbed for from 8 to 12 hours, closing the vessel
containing the rosemary and water and boiling the rosemary and water for
about 2 hours, adding to the infusion the other ingredients stated, then
allowing the mixture to cool and again boiling for 2 hours or thereabouts and
finally filtering the liquor, all substantially as herein before set out and described.
