This invention consists of a compound made of willow ashes, lether ashes, cocoanut, butter, tallow, and grape wine, which ingredients are thoroughly mixed and then boiled down to the consistency of pomatum in such a manner that a compound is obtained which is great benefit to the growth of the hair, and which can be applied with ease and facility.

The proportion in which I mix the above named ingredients together is about as follows: Ashes of willow, (be preference weeping-willow,) one pound; ashes of leather, one pound; cocoanut, one-half pound; butter, four pounds; tallow (by preference, beef kidneys,) two pounds; white grape wine, one quart. The whole mixture may be scented with bergamot or any other suitable perfume, and after the above named ingredients have been thoroughly mixed, the compound is boiled down to the consistency of pomatum, and then put up in suitable boxes, ready for market.
