CAUTION.

TAYLOR arid Co. (successors to 7.t.P.ldam an,l Co.)
beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints par.
porting tss be MI NBIt AL PAINTS which ate not supplied from
their Manufactory, or furnished by their app kents, as many
}coon are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Warta
_which has been proved by the highest authorities to be most iZoi-
i.cus, particularly as a c 'ening for wood work) by pirating the
name of their Paints, wh:ch have for upwards of twenty years (not-
withatanding the great and open competition) received such extended
patronage from Government,• who still continue to use it, and the
following Certificmes, granted by the highly dicinguisheel Oilicars
in his Majesty's service, will fully pro:.: its durability and economy.
notwithstanding the apparent etwpm:sin ai thtse spurious and inne&-
e:ent imitations. The ingredients these Pai:its are composed of are
lanufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the lite
of Dimelorald's Patent, to which no other house has access.
Tare Mineral Paints are a cheap and durable coating fr all oat-
door work, such as Wooden, Iron, and Canvas Roofs, Shed., Barn.
Ont.housei, Fences, Palings, Gatea, Boat and Barge bottoms, Ships'
side* and npper works, Wood and Iron Bridges, Docks Chains
Cables, and ail 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 fur coating Brick walls to prevent damps.
No wood coated with these Paints will be worm-eaten, nor will
iilseets or vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed frames, or other
places, 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 aft other preparations.

",This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at the
aesise of Messrs. ll'Adarn and 'Co. we made experiments with
tectr preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep-
tember, 1806. The situation of the wood and iron work made we
of in this experiment is very high, and etitirely exposed to the
vend from the Charnel, where It is difficult to find any mating
able to resist the wcathcr. The paint, after having withstood the
winter in the above situation, has formed a very hard and com-
pact body on both wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is
bard and very dry ; the Iron free front 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 agaits the
effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ; and we gilt.:
ft as war opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron
work exposed to the weather or to damp, and consider it ta• Lr
eteuper duo any other that can be procured.
