REMARKS ON COLD CREAM. 
17 
The sixth experiment of the Aristolachia reticulata, 
and the fourth of the Aristolochia serpent aria, show us 
that the tincture is the preferable form of exhibition, as it 
contains all the active principles of the root in solution. 
This last remark will apply when the full effects of the 
medicine are desired, as the infusion is the form of exhibi- 
tion preferred by Pereira.

Take of white wax, - - gj. 
oil of almonds, - - fgiv. 
rose water, - fgii. 
borax, ... - 3ss. 
oil of roses, - Mv. 
Let the wax be dissolved in the oil of almonds by a 
gentle heat, so as not to change it ; then dissolve the borax 
in the rose water, and add the solution to the heated oil, 
stirring constantly until perfectly cool ; then add the oil of 
roses, stirring it a little longer. If properly prepared it 
yields a beautiful preparation of a snow-white color, 
and without any appearance of granulations. The borax 
unites to form with the oil a mild and bland compound, by 
chemical union.
