TO CLEAN BOOT TOPS BROWN.

Take a pint of skimmed milk, half an ounce of spirits of salt, half

an ounce of spirits of lavender, one ounce of gum Arabic, and the

juice of two lemons; mix them well together, and keep them in a

bottle closely corked; rub the tops with a sponge, but use no brick

dust; and when they are dry, polish them with a brush or piece of

flannel.
