I pint Of boiled linseed oil, Ro ounces o.
E common beeswax, two ounce of spirits d
Z turpentine, and haitian ouncepf BuIgundI
: pitch: let them be carefully melted over
a slow fire. With this mixture new boot
and shoes are to be rubbed, either u tn
}, sun or at little distance from thcfire
, with sponge or brush. This operatio
3 should be repeated, without wearing then
< as often as they become dry, until the
n are fully saturated, wich will require fou

much sooner than il otherwise would.
