of caoutchouc, commonl)' called Indian rub- 

 ber. This composition is suited for rubbing 

 into the soles of boots and shoes, and will 

 render them perfectly water-proof ; but for 

 the upper leathers of such articles, and for 

 harness and other leather, the following 

 composition is proposed : — take of neat-foot 

 oil one gallon, of tallow six pounds, of hogs- 



577 



lard eleven pounds, and of bees-wax half a 

 pound, which being boiled together until 

 perfectly mixed, must be allowed to cool; 

 and after its having become cold, add to the 

 composition three pounds of spirits of tur- 

 pentine, in which three ounces of caoutchouc 

 has been dissolved.
