CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test o 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 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and 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 front of all his
meters.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.
Warranted to keep correct in all weathers.

lIORTICULTURAL IMPROVEMENTS.-
J. READ begs leave to inform Ladies, Amateur, and Prac-
tical Gardeners, that be has made such improvements in his NEW
PATENT MACHINES, that will warrant him in keeping the valve
in repair gratis, during the term of the Patent, and may be worked
with half the labour of any other instruments for the same purpose,
for destroying those insects which make such deadly havoc on the
choicest fruit trees and plants at this season of the year, which from
31 years experience in practical gardening in all its branches, and
25 years in manufacturing and improving the above machines, he
can safely warrant. They may be seen and proved at 35, Regent..
circus, Piccadilly, and to prevent the frauds that have been so long
practised none are genuine except stamped with the patentee's
name.
