Re: Naptha

I remember as a child there was a product that you could buy in just about 
any store called Naphtha.  It was used as a cleaning agent for clothing.  
Rather than sending your clothes to a cleaner, many people would rinse them 
out at home.  It was reusable and a thin liquid.  I seem to remember that it 
also smelled not too bad, if you were interested in a "high" back in the 30's.

The correct spelling is Naphtha, but was spelled as Naphta I think on the 
cans of cleaning fluid
