Sal ammoniac, gum mastic, red coral, and myrrh, of each an equal quantity finely powdered.
Another: 3 oz. camphor, 1 oz. powdered cinchona bark, 1 oz. prepared charcoal, and sufficient spirits of wine to dissolve the camphor. Mix thoroughly, and pass through a fine sieve.
The mixture of chalk and camphor is very good for preserving as well as cleansing teeth.
