To Clean Brass

To Clean Brass.

To clean brass and keep it always bright rub it with a solution of oxalic acid, one ounce of acid to one pint of water, and alternate with a solution composed of one-half pound of rotten stone and one ounce of oxalic acid, with as much water as will make it into a stiff paste. Apply the solutions and polish with a piece of leather or an old silk handkerchief. Both solutions should be labeled "Poison."
