AYLOR avid Cot (successors to M'Adam and Co.)
beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur-
porting to be MINERAL PA I NTS which are not supplied from
their Manufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many
are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the G Works
(whicher as
has been proved by the highest authorities to be molt inju-
rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the
nausea their Paints, which have for upwards of twenty years (not-
withstanding the great and open competition) received such eltended
patronage front Government, who still continue to use it, and the
following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished Officers
in his Majesty's service, will fully prove its durability and economy,
notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and ineffi
cent tons. The ingredients these Paints are compooed of are
Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late
Earl of Dunsionald's Patent, to which no oilse:r house has access.
The Mineral Paints are a cheap and durable coating for all out-
door work, stashes Wooden, Iron, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds, Barn,
Out-houses, Fences, Palings, Gates, Boat and Bargebottotna.fildite
sides and upper works, Wood and Iron Bridges, Docks, Chain
Cables, and all Wood and Iron Work 'under water, or exposed to,tlso
weather; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent 'them imbibing water and
being injured by frost ; and for coating Brick walls to prevent damps.
No wood coated with these Paints will be Worm-eaten, nor will
insects or vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed frames, or other
laces, coated with them, and they will be found an effectual cure
for the dry rot; being composed entirely of Mineral substances they
are insoluble in water, and thereby resist moisture in a manner su-
perior to all other preparation'.

"We hereby certify, that the Wooden Barracks in Great Britain

was applied.

14 This is to certify, that by order of General_ Mercer, at the
desire of Messrs. M'Adam and Co. we made experiments with
their preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and S.-p-
-tember, 1906. The situation of the wood and iron work made use
of in this experiment is very high, and entirely exposed to the
wind from the Monet, inhere it is difficult to find any coating
able to resist the weather. The paint, after having withstood the
winter in the above situation, has formed a very hard and com-
IPaet body on Toth wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is
hard and very dry ; the iron free from every appearance of rust.—
From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown Paint, Its
hard, solid, and impenetrable state, there is every reason to believe
that it will defend the wood and iron work for years against the
effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ; and we give
it as our opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron
work exposed to the weather or to damp, and consider it 'to be
cheaper than any other that can be procured.

4‘ We hereby certify, that Messrs. BP Adam.and Co.'s Mineral
and Brown Patin has continued in general use in this Department,
for all kinds of fences, since the date of the above certificate of

travelling magazines, side arm racks, carts, and other wood Work
exposed to the weather, with every probability of success; we,
therefore, after nearly eight years' additional experience, have no
hesitation in confirming that certificate, as to the general good qua-
