A Non-Irritating Depilatory.

Depilatories containing the sulphides of barium, strontium and calcium and an inactive substance like chalk, talc or starch are extremely irritating to the skin. This can be avoided by preparing them hot. To prepare such mixtures 1.5 grams of strontium, or an equivalent quantity of barium or calcium sulphide, are triturated with 2 grams of starch and & grams of water and the mixture heated to boiling, with continuous stirring. Upon cooling, a creamy mixture is obtained, which is as efficacious as the mixture prepared in the cold and does not hurt the skin.—Med. Brief.
