Never

o
Never

as necessary,
with
partic-
ular

or
a soft
clean
cloth
to remove
smudges
or finger-
prints
with
a
gentle
circular
motion. Only
if
absolutely
necessary,
the tissue
may
be
moistened
very
slightly
with
not more
than
one
drop
of
a satisfactory quick-evaporating
fluid
cleaner
specially
compounded
for
pho-
tographic

Such
fluids
must
never
be
dropped

fluid
as
