Rub the furniture hard with a circular motion until a gloss is produced; finish in the same manner, but, instead of all polish, use one-third polish to two-thirds spirits of wine. Or, put into a glass bottle one ounce of gum-lac, two drachms of mastic in drops, four drachms of sandarac, three ounces of shell-lac, and half an ounce of gum-dragon; reduce the whole to powder; add to it a piece of camphor the size of a nut, and 120 CABmET-MAKER AND pour on it eight ounces of rectified spirits of "w...ine. Stop the bottle close ; but take care, when the gums are dissolving, that it is not more than half full. It may be placed near a gentle fire, or on a German stove; but a bath of hot sand is preferable, as avoiding all danger, the compound being so very apt to catch fire. Apply it as before directed. An improved polish. To a pint of spirits of wine add, in fine powder, one ounce of seed-lac, two drachms of gum-guaia- cum, two drachms of dragon's-blood, and two drachms of gum-mastic; expose them, in a vessel stopped close, to a moderate heat for three hours, until you find the gums dissolved ; strain the whole into a bottle for use, with a quarter of a gill of the best linseed-oil, to be shaken up well with it.
