Note 33 — MISCELLANEOUS RECIPES.
Reading edition
Olive-oil (white Castile) soap, or almond oil soap is here intended. It should be moderately dry when weighed, next reduced to thin shavings, and then further desiccated by exposure to warm, dry air, but no artificial heat should be employed. By replacing a portion (say one-third) of the above with an equal weight of dry, white tallow soap (i.e., curd soap) the “lathering” quality of the essence will be increased.
