A  very  similar  and  quite  as  effective  a  preparation  may  be  made  by  dis- 
solving the  essential  oils  of  the  plants  indicated  in  a  mixture  of  alcohol 
and  acetic  acid.  Such  preparations,  however,  are  more  within  the  province 
of  the  druggist  than  perfumer.  There  are,  however,  several  preparations 
of  vinegar  which  are  sold  to  some  extent  for  mixing  with  the  water  for 
lavarotory  purposes  and  the  bath,  their  vendors  endeavoring  to  place  them 
in  competition  with  eau  de  Cologne,  but  with  little  avail.  Among  them 
may  be  enumerated —
