Put in a vial one drachm of benzoin gum in powder, one drachm nutmeg
oil, six drops of orange-blossom tea, or apple blossoms put in half
pint of rain-water and boiled down to one teaspoonful and strained,
one pint of sherry wine. Bathe the face morning and night; will remove
all flesh-worms and freckles, and give a beautiful complexion. Or, put
one ounce of powdered gum of benzoin in a pint of whisky; to use, put
in water in wash-bowl till it is milky, allowing it to dry without
wiping. This is perfectly harmless.
Cream cures sun-burn on some complexions, lemon juice is best on
others, and cold water suits still others best.
