Lunch can Pomatum One pound white wax Three pounds of lard Three do of suet [Melt?] it & when partly cold stir in [can?] water one pint - forty drops of Otto of rose - The appearance of this Pomatum is much improved by giving it a pink colour. All healing salve Take equal parts of [resin?], beeswax, & [sweet oil?], [melt?] & mix stirring until cool. This is a good healing salve for all common [sores?] - but if a more healing remedy is needed, add to this when almost boiling hot two pounds of [red?] lead when almost cold add half an ounce of pulverized camphor. This should be spread thin & removed once or twice a day -From the American Family Keepsake (By the good Samaritan)
