CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.-DRY GAS METERS.

DtERIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test. six years' trial. Among the 10,000 In use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubio feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, aad which are still working to 'the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in itont of all his
meters.
Testimonials from the 'nest eminent and scientifie men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by pest),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.
Warranted to keep correct in an. weathers.
