Valuable Discovery,

By the Subscriber, and for sehich he Intends
getting Patent.
A NEW and useful Improvement in the
~ building art, for plaster, rough cast
mortar or cement, SC. This consists OF an
improvement, by adding to. common NOR
tar, made OF, lime and sand, proportion of
common salt, by which means the mortar
possesses q much greater adhesion, resisis
frosts, and in great measure repeIs wa
ter,-by which means buildings, or any
other work that requires mortar or cement.
may be carried ON in the most Indictment
season of the year without risk or damage
from frosts-The said mortar by being
mixed with the salt becomes much tougher,
is much longer in drying, and when dry
will become aslonishDgIy hard and dura-
BILE. The proportion Of salt to the mortar
may be varied. as. occasion or the purpose
for which it is intended may require; and
takes. less proportion of lime than is ge-
morally used in building.
