CACHOUS AROMATISÉES.
Cachous are of a pillular composition, and used not so much for the
teeth as to impart fragrance to the breath.
They are made as follows:
Gum acacia 1½ oz.
Catechu, powdered 2¾ oz.
Licorice juice 1¼ lb.
Cascarilla, powdered ¾ oz.
Mastic, powdered ¾ oz.
Orris root, powdered ¾ oz.
Oil of clove 75 grains.
Oil of peppermint ½ oz.
Tincture of ambergris 75 grains.
Tincture of musk. 75 grains.
Boil the solids with water until a pasty mass results which becomes
firm on cooling. The aromatics are then added, and the mass is rolled
into pills which are covered with genuine silver foil. One of these
pills suffices to remove the odor of tobacco, etc., completely from the
mouth.
