Philocome. 
The  name  of  this  preparation — which  is  an  alliance  of  Greek  and  Latin, 
signifying  "  a  friend  to  the  hair  " — was  first  introduced  by  the  Parisian 
perfumers,  and  a  very  good  name  it  is,  for  philocome  is  undoubtedly  one  of 
the  best  unguents  for  the  hair  that  is  made.

Melt  the  wax  in  the  huiles  by  a  water-bath  at  the  lowest  possible  tempera- 
ture. Stir  the  mixture  as  it  cools  ;  do  not  pour  out  the  philocome  until  it 
is  nearly  cool  enough  to  set :  let  the  jars,  bottles,  or  pots  into  which  it  is 
tilled  for  sale  be  slightly  warmed,  or  at  least  of  the  same  temperature  as 
the  philocome,  otherwise  the  bottles  chill  the  material  as  it  is  poured  in, 
and  make  it  appear  of  an  uneven  texture.

Tannic  Acid  a  Remedy  for  Chilblains,  By  Prof.  Berthold. — The  extract 
obtained  by  boiling  I5  oz.  of  pounded  nut-galls  with  0.5  lb.  of  rain-water, 
has  an  excellent  action  upon  chilblains.  The  decoction  may  be  employed 
as  a  bath,  or  laid  upon  the  swellings  by  means  of  rags.  The  itching  and 
burning  disappear  in  two  or  three  days.  In  old  cases  the  remedy  must  be 
continued  longer.  Oak-bark  may  also  be  employed;  a  mixture  of  lib.  of 
oak-bark  and  2ibs.  of  water  being  applied  as  a  poultice.  This  remedy  must 
not  be  used  withbroken  or  festering  chilblains. — London  F harm.  Jour,  from
