BY HEIL MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

C 0 OK' i•IiINV PATENT COMPOSITION,
for Coating Exposed Surfaces, or Surfaces Liable to
Decay, Oxidation, or Deterioration.
The above Patent Composition has now. without the aid of a
single advertisement, established its character as a preventative of
Oxidation or Rust on all me'allic substances; also for Coating
Roman or Portland Cement or Brick Work, to insure the prevention
of the Alkali or Salt, which is inherent in these substances, from
throwing off the Paint; for Coating the Walls of Rooms previous to
Papering or Painting.
- It is particularly recommended for every description of Iron Work,
either Malleable or Cast, which is liable to exposure or to the action
of either Alkali or Acid, such as Iron Vessels, pa•ticularly those in
the Sugar or Guano Trades, where the Acid from the former, and
the alkali from the latter, has such a prejudicial effect on the Iron,
also Sugar Moulds, Char Cisterns, Iron Knees, Water Tanks, Hoops
of Water Casks, Chain Plates, all Iron Work aloft on hoard ship,
Ships' Anchors, Baths, Cisterns, Iron Bedsteads. Garde i Seats and
Poles, Railings. Water Pipes, Monuments, and Stones in Ceme-
teries ; indeed, its application may be said to be universal where
either Damp or Oxidation is likely to prevail, such, for instance, as
large Mirrors or Pier Glasses will be efficsci,uily secured from Damp
or Salt Water by the back being Coated with the Composition,
without in the least deteriorating their lustre. The following are a
few Testimonials from parties wtlo have used the Composition, and
to which the Patentee respectfully refers.

TESTIMONIALS IN FAVOUR OF COOK'S NEW PATENT COMPOSITION.
From MATTHEW BROWN, Esq.
Mr. J. E. Cook. Greenock, 20th Feb., 1856.
Sir,—From the trial I have had of your Composition upon the
Bricks of my Cottages, I think it is an aadmirable Paint and answers
eve' y purpose intended. MAT FRE W BROWN.

From Bles.rs. JORN WA mom & Co., Sugar Refiners,

Mr. J. E. Cook, Greenock. Greenock, 6th Feb., 1856.
Sir,—We are in receipt of yours of dote. requesting us to give our
opinion of your Composition on our Sugar Moulds.
We coated several hundreds of our Moulds with it about 18 months
ago, and find it to stand better than anything we have tried; the
Moulds apparantly being in as good condition as when it was put on.
JOHN WALKER & CO.

From Mesars:JAmss GRAY & Co,

Overton Paper Mills, Greenock, 22nd Pep. 1854,
JAMES E. Coos, Esq.

Sir,—We are glad to say that your Composition has stood the test
of our Bleaching Liquor for upwards of twelve months, and we are
quite satisfied that it wi:l answer our purpose, in preserving the
Liquor from being injured in coming in contact wi h V e iron tanks.
JAMES GRAY & CO.

From Mr. JOHN M'lsTAuonx, House Pa'nter and Decorator,
Grtenock.

Mr. J E. COOK

Sir,—l had your " Patent Composition " applied to the outside of
a House which was finished in Roman Cement, and which is situated
in an exposed part of the Sea Coast, and I happy to state, with the
most favourable results. I may also state that I gave the Roman
Cement one Coat of your Composition, and thereafter finished it
with two Coats of Oil Paint in imitation Ashlar, and have no healta.
tion in pronouncing it a first. rate job, there being no appearance of
Alkali or Salt of any kind a:ingupon the Coating, as is usual in
ordinary oasis of common Oil Paint ng.
I have no doubt but when your Composition 14 better known the
use of it must become general. JOHN M.NAUGHT.
Commercial Temperance Hotel, Greenock, May 12, 18564

Mr. J. E. Coott.
Dear deem it not only due to your genius, but also due to
the P,blie, that the following strking effects of your new Patent
Cotnnosition should be generally known. I had a great portion of
the Walls or one of my Rooms newly Plastered, and being derirous
of having it pa, ered with all possiole speed, anti at same time to
insure perfect dryness (the wails being still damp. having been only
four days finished- in plaster), it was suggested by my Painter that
your Comport[ on should to applied. It was so. and within four
hrs.
possiblytherec atcern btl.eeroom was papered, and is now as ary as any
room
_ .

I sh-. 11 be nippy to-show it to any party who may wish to inspect
it.—Ycurs respectfully, J. C. BOIILAND.
