DURABILITY OF GUTTA PERCHA
T U B I N G.—Many inquiries having been made as to
the durability of Gutta Percha Tubing, the GUTTA PERCHA.
COMPANY have much pleasure in giving publicity to the
following letters from parties who have had it in use for a
considerable length of time :

From Sir RAYMOND JARVIS, Knt., entnor, Isle of Wight_
(Second Testimonial.)—" In reply to your letter received this,
morning, respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for pump ser-
v ice, I can state, with much satisfaction, it answers perfectly.
Many builders and other persons have lately examined it.
and there is not the least apparent difference since the first
laying down, now several years ; and I am informed that it is,
to be adopted generally in the houses that are being erected
here."

From C. HACKER, Esq., Surveyor to his Grace the Duke of
Bedford, Woburn Park. (Second Testimonial.)—" Office of
Works, Woburn Park.—Gentlemen,—ln answer to your
inquiries respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for pump suc-
tions, I find that the water has not affected it in the least,
although it will eat through lead in two years; we have
adopted it largely, being cheaper than lead, much easier fixed,
and a more perfect job."

GARDENS,

The GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY have the pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt of the following testimonial from
Mr. J. FARRAH, Gardener to Boswell Middleton Jalland,
Esq., of Holderness House, near Hull :—" I have had 400
feet of your Gutta Percha Tubing, in lengths of 100 feet each,
with Union Joint, in use for the last twelve months for wa-
tering these gardens, and I find it to answer better than an3r
thing I have ever yet tried. The pressure of water is very
considerable, but this has not the slightest effect on the•
I ier this Tut.; inven-

t,ing to be a most v
