Place the wax, sperm, and oil on to the alkanet root in a vessel heated

on the alkanet to extract its color for at least four or five hours;
finally, strain through fine muslin, then add the perfume just before it
cools.

After lip salve is poured into the pots and got cold, a red-hot iron
must be held over them for a minute or so, in order that the heat
radiated from the irons may melt the surface of the salve and give it
an even face.
COMMON LIP SALVE
Is made simply of equal parts of lard and suet, colored with alkanet
root, and perfumed with an ounce of bergamot to every pound of salve.
SECTION XII.
POMADES AND OILS.
The name of pomatum is derived from _pomum_, an apple, because it was
originally made by macerating over-ripe apples in grease.
If an apple be stuck all over with spice, such as cloves, then exposed
to the air for a few days, and afterwards macerated in purified melted
lard, or any other fatty matter, the grease will become perfumed.
Repeating the operation with the same grease several times, produces
real "pomatum."
