 INTRODUCTION

RAVING for more than eleven years followed the

profession as Master Barber and having given
it my exclusive attention, in all its forms and
branches, the book herewith presented, has grown out
of these observations and experiments. My fellow-
workman, you will agree with me that all works touch-
ing upon our trade, at least so far as have come to my
notice, are advertised to be the Barbers' Guide Book,
&c, and a short perusal shows, that Medical Recipes
are the principal contents. In presenting my Manual
and Barbers' Hand Book of Formulas, the book will
prove to you just what the title purports it to be, elim-
inating all foreign matter, so that every line and page
thereof will be a guide and instructor to the profession.
With these few remarks, this book is fraternally
commended.
Yours respectfully,

THE AUTHOR.
 Practical Suggestions,

When using a receipt for making a preparation

always try the first or second one, of their respective

kinds. All articles should be bought in large quantity

as it is much cheaper. Shaving Soap should be bought
by the box, and let it Perfuming Oils can be
dry well.
bought in any quantity, and care should be taken to get
a good article.
Alcohol by government inspectors at
classified
188°, usually retailing at about ,$2.50 per gallon. Co-
logne Spirits, classified at 190°, worth about $2.75 per
gallon, and called high proof. Proof Spirits, marked
100°, worth about $1.50 per gallon. Alcohol 95°, or
diluted alcohol, is obtained by taking strong alcohol
188° and water, equal parts. Alcohol should be bought
of some wholesale dealer or rectifier of spirits.

When any information or explanation is wanted

pertaining to Receipts in this book, 2 cents in postage
stamps should always be enclosed with letter, to insure
an immediate answer.
When ordering a copy of this book the money
should be sent by Registered Letter, Money Order or
