Nail Bleach

Oh, but why pay 19¢ for a bottle when you can make your own? Here are a few recipes:

Nail Bleach and Wash, I.

1 dram Oxalic acid
2 fl. ounces Rosewater

Apply to the discolored nails with friction by means of soft leather or flannel. Citric or acetic acid may be substituted for the oxalic acid.

II.
Sodium perborate is highly recommended as a nail bleach. Mix one teaspoonful with about 1 1/2 ounces of lukewarm water, and apply the liquid to the finger nails with a nail brush, rubbing for a few minutes. The powder may also be sprinkled dry on the nails and then rubbed with a damp brush, but the first-mentioned method is the most satisfactory.
