GUTTA PERCHA TUBING, &c
The Gutta Percha Company have the pleasure to acknow.
edge the receipt of the following Testimonials :
(Cori.)

" Stirling, January 2b_, 1850.
.. I have great pleasure In informing you that I hid a tlllll to-day
of the I gutta percha tube I had from you in December last,
In prestnce of a Committee of the Town Council, who were highly
pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 400 feet of
the same for attaching to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and
watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinion that no mate-
rial is so well fitted for the above purpose as the gutta percha, for
although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kingdom, being
upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on
the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends
the rivets in all directions.—I am, your obedient Servant,
" ANDREW ROBERTSON."

" Gentlemen,—Without reference to the variety of useful and or-
namental purposes to which gutta percha is adapted, I consider it in
a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important
covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit)
certified my decided approval of it fur the under soles of shoes, and I
have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress
shoes and boots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es-
sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable,
I cannot too highly recommend the gutta percha for tubing and
lining.

I am, gentlemen, your humble servant,
"J. TAYLOR GORDON."

" Gentlemen,—lt is impassible td conceive of anything more in-
jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use
o (leaden pipes for the conveyance of water. The poisonous salts of
lead thereby communicated are most insiduous and subtile. I hail
with gratitude the substitution of gutta percha tubing. I have had
the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by ens of
gotta percha.
lam, respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedient servant
,
" J, 3.IIItRAY, Yx. D."
In consequence of improved machinery, whereby a continuous
supply of gutta percha is maintained, the Gutta Percha Company arc
enabled to supply the tubing in much greater lengths than formerly.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testhnoulals which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mollard Wheeler, 1.1=q., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, win fully confirm.
" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu.,lntances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. ' Price 2s. 9d. per box.
