Plan No. 296. Perfume for a Sick Room

The following makes a very pleasant antiseptic perfume for a sick-room, imparting the odor of the pine woods, and is very grateful and refreshing to an invalid:

Oil of bergamot, 6 drams; oil of orange, 1 dram; oil of rosemary, 1 dram; eucalyptol, 2 drams; bornyl acetate, 1⁄2 dram; tincture benzoin, 4 drams; water, 21⁄2 parts; alcohol to make one gallon.

Mix and spray about the room whenever the air begins to indicate the necessity for freshening it.
