used  a  week  or  two.

Melt  the  greases,  then  beat  them  up  with  a  whisk  or  flat  wooden  spatula 
for  half-an-hour  or  more  ;  as  the  grease  cools,  minute  vesicles  of  air  are 
enclosed  by  the  pomatum,  which  not  only  increases  the  bulk  of  the  mixtures, 
but  imparts  a  peculiar  mechanical  aggregation,  rendering  the  pomatum  light 
and  spongy  ;  in  this  state  it  is  obvious  that  it  fills  out  more  profitably  than 
otherwise.

Manipulate  as  for  marrow  pomatum. 
In  all  the  cheap  preparations  for  the  hair,  the  manufacturing  perfumers 
use  the  washed  French  pomatums  and  the  washed  French  oils  for  making 
their  greases.  Washed  pomatums  and  washed  oils  are  those  greases  that 
originally  have  been  the  best  pomatums  and  huiles  prepared  by  enfleurage 
and  by  maceration  with  the  flowers;  which  pomades  and  huiles  have  been 
subjected  to  digestion  in  alcohol  for  the  manufacture  of  essences  for  the 
handkerchief.  After  the  spirit  has  been  on  the  pomatums,  &c,  it  is  poured 
off ;  the  residue  is  then  called  washed  pomatum,  and  still  retains  an  odor 
strong  enough  for  the  manufacture  of  most  hair  greases. 
For  pomatums  of  other  odors  it  is  only  necessary  to  substitute  rose, 
jasmin,  tubereuse,  and  others,  in  place  of  the  acacia  pomatum  in  the  above 
formulae.

in  summer,  equal  parts.
