thus  made:  Bark  of  "  Quillaya  saponaria,"  1  part;  alcohol  (90°),  4 
parts.    Heat  to  ebullition,  and  filter. — Le  Beuf. 
15.  Oarholized  Water  for  the  Teeth. — Water,  1000  parts  ;  essence 
of  meat,  2  parts ;  tincture  of  saponine,  50  parts ;  pure  carbolic  acid, 
10  parts.  Mix.  A  dessertspoonful  in  a  quarter  of  a  tumblerful  of 
water,  serves  as  an  excellent  preparation  for  cleansing  and  preserving 
the  teeth. 
16.  Oarholized  Ointment. — Purified  lard,  100  parts ;  carbolic  acid, 
1  part.  Mix.  Considered  of  some  service  in  skin  affections ;  but, 
modified  as  it  is  by  the  fat,  it  cannot  replace  the  aqueous  solution  of 
carbolic  acid. — Lemaire. 
17.  Oarholized  Amylaceous  Ointment. — Pure  starch,  3  parts ;  hot 
water,  20  parts.  Mix,  in  the  ordinary  way  (the  starch  being  made  first 
into  a  paste  with  cold  water,  and  then  hot  water  added),  to  a  stiff  con- 
sistence ;  then  add  olive  oil  1  part,  glycerin  3  parts,  carbolic  acid  1 
part,  and  thoroughly  mix  in  a  mortar.  When  cool  this  is  a  soft  jelly, 
which  can  easily  be  applied  as  ordinary  ointment.  It  is  much  more 
efficacious  than  one  the  basis  of  which  is  entirely  fat,  and  it  is  an 
agreeably  cool  application. — Author. 
18.  Oarholized  Oil. — A.  Crystallized  carbolic  acid,  1  part ;  boiled 
linseed  oil,  4  parts.    Dissolve. — Lister. 
B.  Pure  carbolic  acid,  1  part;  olive  oil,  6  parts.  Olive  oil  is  better 
than  linseed  oil  as  a  vehicle,  as  the  latter  is  more  prone  to  oxida- 
tion.—  Oalvert. 
19.  Oarholized  Putty. — Carbolized  oil,  about  6  tablespoonfuls ; 
common  whiting  (chalk),  sufficient  to  make  a  firm  paste. — Lister. 
20.  Antiseptic  Lead  Plaster. — Olive  oil,  12  parts  (by  measure); 
litharge  (finely  ground),  12  parts  (by  weight);  beeswax,  3  parts  (by 
\  weight) ;  crystallized  carbolic  acid,  2J  parts  (by  weight).  Heat  half 
the  olive  oil  over  a  slow  fire ;  then  add  the  litharge  gradually,  stir- 
ring continually  until  the  mass  becomes  thick,  or  a  little  stiff ;  then 
add  the  other  half  of  the  oil,  stirring,  as  before,  till  it  becomes  thick 
again..  Then  add  the  wax  gradually  till  the  liquid  again  thickens. 
Remove  from  the  fire  and  add  the  acid,  stirring  briskly  till  thor- 
oughly mixed.    Cover  up  close,  and  set  aside  to  allow  all  the  residual
