Astringent Ointment

Triturate 1½ drachms powdered catechu with 2 ber-lye till almost dry; squeeze out the juice, fluid drachms boiling water; add, gradually, add to it pitch and bees'-wax, and simmer it 14 ounces spermaceti ointment, continuing the trituration until the mass concretes. This is an excellent dressing for sores and ulcers, especially during hot weather.
