CAUTION.

TAYLOR and Co. (successors to M'Adarn and Co.)
beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur-
porting to be MINERAL PAINTS which are net supplied from,
their Manufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many
persons are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Works
(which has been proved by the highest authorities to be most iajn-
rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the
name of their Paints, which have for upwards of twenty years (not-
withstanding the great and open competition) received such extended
patronage from Government, who still continue to use it, and the
following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished ORicers
in his Majesty's service, will fully prove its durability and economy,
notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and ineffi-
cient imitations. The ingredients these Paints are composed of are
Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late
Earl of Dundonald's Patent, to which no other house has access.
The Mineral Paints area cheap and durable coating for all out-
door work, such as Wooden, Iron, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds, Barn,
Out-Itauses, Fences, Palings, Gates, Boat and Barge bottoms, Ships'
sides 'and upper works, Wood and Iron Bridges, Docks, Chain
Cables, and all Wood and Iron Work under water, or exposed to the
weather; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent them imbibing water and
being injured by frost ; and for coating Brick walls to prevent damps.
,Nosvood coated with these Paints will be worns.eaten, nor will
insest'place.stor vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed. frames, or other.
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 moiststro• in a manner su-
perior to all other preparations.

" We hereby certify, that the Wooden Bursas 's Great Britain
have been, for several years past, covered with Messrs. M'Adats
and Co.'s Bilneral Brown Paint, for the preserertion of the wea-
ther boarding, and It bas fully answered the purpose for which it
was applied.

11 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 Alineral Brown Paint in April and Sep-
timber, 11106. The situation of the wood and iron work made use
ofln this experiment is very high, and entirely expmd to the
ivihd fisun the Chaonel, where it is difficult to find any coating
able to resist the weather. The print, after having withstood the
winter in the above situation, has fanned a very hard and com-
pact body on both wood and iron work; the wood when cut is
hard and very dry ; the iron free front every appearance of rust.—
Yeovil the present appearance of the Mineral Brown l'aint, its
hard, solid, and impenetrable state, there is every reason to believe
that it wiU 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.

14 We hereby certify, that Messrs. M'Adam and Co.'s Mineral
and Brown Paint has continued in general use in this Department,
for all kinds of fences, since the date of the above certificate ol
May 26, 1807, that it has also latterly been used on sentry boxes,
travelling magazines, side arm racks, carts, and other wood work
*spines) to the weather, with every probability of success; we,
therefore, after nearly eight years' additlonal experience, have no
hesitation in confirming that certificate, as to the general good qua-

iron work. " BEN. JONES. Clerk of Works,
