The undersigned have been Some weeks in New York
preparing TO introduce into general use PERFECT
SECURITY AGAINST EXPLOSIONS IN STEAM
BOILERS, as well those ia boats those which

travelling public the frequent records of which curdle the
blood OF our citizens with horror.
TIE undersigned, being perfectly satisfied the value o!

HAM the fhGnix Foundry, who approved OF them,
referred TO lie enerprising Psopretors Of the Peoples
Line who ordered fuset to be affixed to the boil

last months they have been thoroughly tested by The
experienced and accomplished Engineers of that Line
The Undersigned respectfully urge upon all careful Pc
