'll.'S'S PATENT METALLIC
CAPSULES.
14. e Were
bte, „ highly delighted yesterday by a visit to Mr.

tYor b 74 'al and important inventions for securing bo
tloa Tri?chiced; it is applied to bottles of every descrip-
°ll4ll,t%the greatest facility and rapidity, and when
Itravil/Pued the bottle cannot be one without

Ilatrlt the capsule. It is formed of the purest tin,
tikttl: therefore non-corrosive and incapable of being

we Mention the fact that we saw at the mann-
attar-1, a bottle of soda-water, the cork of which wast.ee
tlt by the capsule alone, without the intervention

hick

7oured- state of effervesence. The cork had been th. us
