1,1 The QUTTA PERCHA CO3IPANY have been favoured
with the following Letter from Messrs. James Muspratt and Sons, of
Liverpool:

"Liverpool, September 8, 1850.
" Gentlemen,—Tn reply to your favour of yesterday, we give it as
our opinion that cool Muriatic Acid HAS NO EFFECT ON THE
GUTTA. PERCHA. We have now had it in use for nearly a year,
and we have no doubt that in a short time nothing but Gutta Percha
Carboys, or Pipes lined with it, will be used for conveying Mariatic
Acid ; for, although rather expensive at first, it soons pa;sfor break-
age and baskets of glass carboys.
" Yours truly,

"JAMES MITSPRITT AND SONS,"
From Chance Brothers, and Co., Alkali Works, near Birmingham.
" Gentlemen,—llaving used the Gutta Percha for many months as
a lining for vessels and spouts, for containing and conveying Muriatic
Acid, we have found it most effectually to resist its action, and can
add our testimony to its adaptation to this purpose.

" Yours obediently,
" CHANCE BROTHER?, AND CO."
Every information may be had on application to the GUTTA
PERCIIA COMPANY, Patentees, 18, Wharf-road, City-road,
London.
