Use Viscol
[Illustration]
Viscol makes the leather soft and pliable and also waterproof.
Viscolized leather remains soft and pliable under continuous hard
service, even when it is worn in salt water or in snow. Viscol is a
solution of a rubber-like material which amalgamates with the leather
substance and is not driven out of the leather by heat or by water,
the way oils are. Its beneficial effect is lasting. Leather that is
treated with Viscol wears several times as long as leather that has
not been thus treated.
Viscol is sold by many of the Post Exchanges and by most shoe dealers.
If you can not procure it at the nearest Post Exchange or from your
shoe dealer, write to

order for inspection. Use on bayonet and side arms, too.

| TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE. |
| =================== |
| |
| Irregularities within the original book have been preserved, |
| notably: |
| |
| Part I has appendicies A, B and D. There is no Appendix C. |
| |
| Part I Chapter I contains plates II, III and VI. Plates I, IV |
| and V are not present nor referenced. |
| |
| References to other paragraphs within the text mostly use the |
| book paragraph number. However, there are some cases where the |
| paragraph number relates to the source document paragraph number |
| (in brackets at the end of the paragraph)--these have been left |
| as shown in the book. The link in the html version does, however,|
| point to the intended paragraph. |
| |
| Spelling variants (e. g. reinforce vs reenforce) have been |
| preserved. |
| |
| The 'pointing finger' picture has been transcribed as --> in the |
| text version. |
| |
| Brackets have been added as necessary to equations to aid clarity. |
| |
| For consistency, subheadings which originally appeared next to a |
| paragraph number have been extracted out to the line above (i. e. |
| they do not appear on the same line as the paragraph number in |
| this transcription.) Affected paragraphs are: |
