coloured,
very
dirty,
or
greasy
clothes
ought
not
to
be
boiled
with
those
of
finer
fabric
and
containing
less

The

clothes
will
likewise
do
for
the
coarse

wristbands
of
the
shirts
be
very
dirty,
a
little
soap
may
be
previously
rubbed
on.
The
above
is
a
very
excellent
receipt,
and
may
be
confided
in as
particularly
