OF FLORA. 119 



Flowers, newly gathered, in the fame Oil, 

 and proceed as before : repeat this opera- 

 tion twelve or fourteen times, or even 

 ofcner if neceflary, till the Oil is fully 

 impregnated with the flavour of the 

 Flowers. Some people ufe Oil of Ben in- 

 flcad of Sallad Oil, which in our opinion 

 is preferable, being infinitely lefs apt to 

 grow rancid. The Oils of Tuberofes, and 

 Jafmine Flowers are of ufe for the Toilet 

 on account of their fragrancy. There are 

 cafes in which they may be fuccefsfully 

 ufed externally by way of fridion, to com* 

 fort and flrengthen the nerves, and brate 

 up the ikin when too much relaxed. 



142, AnOil fcentedwith Floivns for tin 

 Hair, 

 Sallad Oil, Oil of Sweet Almonds, 

 and Oil of Nuts, are the only ones ufed 

 for fcenting the hair.
