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
Oxiiation or Rust on all me.allic substances; also for Coating
Roman or Portland Cement or Buick Work, to insure the prevention
of the Alkali or Sal , which is inherent in these subst=nces, 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 Valljable or Cast, which is liable to exposure or to the action
of either Alkali or Acid, such as Iron Vessels, pa•ticuiarly those in
the Sug it or Guano I rades, where the Ad from the lormer, and
the alkali from the latter, has such a preFillcial effect on the Iron ,
also Sugar Moulds, Char Cisterns, Iron Knees, Water Tanks, Hoops
of W.ter Casks., Chain Plates, all Iron Work aloft on board ship,
Ships' Anchors, Baths, Cisterns, Iron Bedsteads. Garde i Seats and
Poles, Baiiines, Water Pipes, Monuments, and Stones in Ceme.

either Damp or Oxidation is Liss ly to prevail, such, for instance, as
large Mirrors or Pier Glasses will be etlicaci• u;ly secured from Damp

without in the least deteriorating their lustre Tee following are a
few Testimonials from parties who have used the Composition, and

Sir,-1 had your " Patent Composition " applied to the cutside 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 ono Coat of your Composition, ard thereafter finished it
with two Coats of 011 Paint in imitation Ashlar, and have no hesita-
tion in promuneing it a first rate job. there being no appearance of
Alkali or Salt of any kind ac lug upon the Coating, as is usual in
ordinary cases of common Oil Paint ng.
I have no doubt but when your Composition better known the
use of it must become general. JOHN M•INTAUGHT.

Dlr. J. E. Coox.
Dear Sir,—l deem it not oly due to your genius, but also due to
the Poblie, that the following stt.king effects of your new Patent
Comr•osition should be generally known. I had a great poition of
the Wads w one of my Rooms newly Plastered, and being desirous
of having it pai.ered with all nossiole speed, and at same time to
insure perfect dryness (the wags being still damp, having been only
four days finished in plaster), it was suggested by my Painter that
your Compo,it on should he applied. It was so, and within four
hours thereafter the room was papered, and is DOW as dry as any
room po•sibly can be.

I sh'„lt be finpy to show it to any party who may wish to inspect
it.—Yours respectfully, J. C. BORLAND.
