Soap Tooth Paste

Take of Castile soap (air-dried, in fine powder), and cuttlefish bone, of each 2 ounces; honey, 4 or 5 ounces; aromatics or perfume at will, with or without the addition of a little rectified spirit.

A very excellent preparation, superior to all the other pastes for cleaning the teeth and removing tartar and animalculæ from them, but inferior in blanching and preservative qualities to areca nut charcoal paste. A pink or rose color may be given it by adding 1 drachm of finely powdered cochineal, or a fluid drachm or two of the tincture. It is commonly or dered in books to be made with honey of roses, disulphate of quinine, 1/2 drachm; mix, tritubut the alkali of the soap spoils the color of rate to very fine powder, add honey (white), this article. The above preparation is also 4 ounces; and a few drops attar of roses, or known under the names of Spanish Dentifrice, neroli, dissolved in rectified spirit, 3 fluid and Castilian Tooth Cream.
