Lay the garments on a bench and scour every part thoroughly by dipping a stiff brush into the mixture; spots of grease and the collar must be done more thorough, and longer continued than other parts, and rinse the garment in the mixture by raising up and down a few times, then the same way in a tub of soft cold water; press out the water and hang up to dry; after which it needs brushing the way of the nap and pressing well under a damp cloth.

Beef's gall will set the color on silks, woolens, or cotton- one spoon to a gallon of water is sufficient for this purpose.  Spotted bombazine or bommazetta washed in this will also look nearly new to new.

Faded and Worn Garments- To renew the color- To alcohol 1 qt., add extract of logwood, 1/4 lb., loaf sugar, 2 ozs., blue vitroil, 1/4.; heat gently until all are dissolved; bottle for use.  Directions- To one pint of boiling water put three or four tes-spoons of the mixture, and apply it to the garment with a clean brush; wetting the fabric thoroughly; let dry; then suds out well and dry again to prevent crocking; brush with the nap to give the polish. This may be applied to silks and woolen goods having colors; but is most applicable to gentlemen's apparel.
