Stearns' Bay Rum 7 fluid ounces Dist. Extract of Witch-Hazel 9 fluid ounces Sodium Chloride 1 dram Hydrochloric Acid (5 per cent) 1 drop Magnesia sufficient
Mix the bay rum and distilled extract of witch-hazel, and shake with a little magnesia; filter, and in the filtrate dissolve the salt and add the hydrochloric acid. The agitation with magnesia causes the preparation to assume a yellow color; but by rendering it very slightly acid, with one drop of five per-cent hydrochloric acid, this color all disappears. The above amount would cost about 50 cents.
