By HIM MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
C 0 OK' S NEW 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 metallic 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 Atoneable or Cast, which is liable to exposure or to the action
of either Alkali or Acid, such as Iron Vessels, particularly 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 board ship,
Ships' Anchors, Baths, Cisterns, Iron Bedsteads, Garden Seats and
Poles, Railings, Water Pipes, Monuments, and Stones in Ceme-
teries; indeed, its app!ication may be said to be universal where
either Damp or Oxidation is likely to prevril, such, for instance, as
large Mirrors or Pier Glasses will be eilicaci, usly 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 who have used'the Composition, and
to which the Patentee respectfully refers.

From Mr. JOHN M`NAncrwr, House Painter and Decorator,
Grtenock.

Mr. J E. Coon.
bad 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 hesita-
tion in pronouncing it a first. rate job, there being no appearance of
Alkali or Salt of any kind acting upon the Coating, as is usual in
ordinary cases of common Oil Paint ng.
I have no doubt but when your Composition is better known the
use of it must become general. JOHN M.NAUGHT,
Commercial Temperance Hotel, Greenock, May 12, 1856. i
Mr. J. E. Coos:.
Dear Sir,—l deem it not oily due to your genius, but also due to
the Public, that the following striking effects of your new Patent
Composition should be generally known. I had a great portion of
the Walls of one of my Rooms newly Plastered, and being desirous
of having it papered with all possible speed, and at same time to
insure perfect dryness (the walls being still damp, having been only
four days finished in plaster), it was suggested by my Painter that
your Composition should be applied. It was so, and within four
hours thereafter the room was papered, and is now as dry as any
room possibly can be.
1 shall be happy to show it to any party who may with to inspect
it.—yours rcapectfully, J. C. BORLAND.
