    2 A.D. 1853.—N° 484. Wilcox's Manufacture, <jr., of Extracts from the Elder Tree. The extract obtained from the elder-tree leaves by hot water or steam may be combined with elaine, or with the fats usually employed for pomades and other like preparations, and in any desired proportions. Although I have thus described only the preparation of these extracts by two processes, I would have it understood that other liquids and 5 other fats or oils may be employed with the like effect, and producing similar results; also that the extracts themselves may be combined with fancy soaps, and with medicated and other unctious materials. I there¬ fore do not restrict myself in any of these particulars, or in the proportions of each to be combined, which may be variously modified. 10 But what I do especially claim as my Invention, I declare to be_ First, the mode of preparing the extracts of the elder tree; and, Second, the combinations of oleagenous or fatty matters with the said extracts.
