Directions for the ajijiUcalion of each receipe will he found at the con^ 
elusion of each subject treated upon in the body of the work. 
1. Dissolve one pound of common soap, yellow or 
mottled, in four or more gallons of soft water; mix with 
it from three to four gallons of tobacco water, according to 
its strength, from the tobacco manufactory, and then add as 
much soft water as will make it up to 16 gallons. 
Tobacco water, which we obtain from the tobacco ma- 
nufacturers, is made from the washing of cloths used in 
manufacturing tobacco : it may be procured at from 6d. to 
8d. per gallon, and may be conveyed in casks to any dis- 
tance required. If the liquor is sufficiently strong it will 
be quite thick and nearly black. This liquor will be 
found much preferable to what can be made from the 
English grown tobacco leaves, as it takes so great a 
quantity of leaves to make it equally strong. If tobacco 
water made from English tobacco is used in place of the 
above quantities, let one pound of soap be dissolved in 
two gallons of soft water, and add 12 gallons of English 
tobacco water . — Seepage 283, on its preparation. 
2. Dissolve one pound of common soap in a few 
gallons of boiling soft water ; afterwards to be made up to 
10 gallons ; then add two gallons of strong tobacco liquor, 
from the manufactory ; or, dissolve the soap in two gallons 
of soft water, then add 10 gallons of English tobacco 
water.
