This recipe was extracted from The housekeeper's companion (1883), page 197. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
evaporating lotion is to soak one or two layers of soft linen or lint, wet with the lotion, and lay- ing them on the surface, wet them again when they become dry. The drying takes place through the heat of the surface, the more rapidly, the higher the temperature of the part. An evaporating lotion is readily made by a wineglassfal of gin or whisky in a pint of cold water
