To one quart of rose-water add an ounce and a half of gum tragacanth;

let it stand forty-eight hours, frequently straining it, then strain

through a coarse linen cloth; let it stand two days, and again strain;

add to it a drachm of oil of roses. Used by ladies dressing their

hair, to make it lie in any position.
