1
Get the driest chloride of lime, and for strong fabrics dissolve four table^poonfuls of this in one half pint of water. Let the mil- dewed article lie in this solution fifteen minutes ; take out and work gently, and put at once in weak muriatic acid (one part acid and four parts soft water) ; for delicate fabrics the solution of lime should be made weaker — three or four times the quantity of water should be put to the lime. Let the article remain in five minutes, and then pour into the muriatic acid.
