OIL OF TANNIN,
OR, LEATHER RESTORER
A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.

NE OST PEOPLE know, that skins and
VR hmes are converted into leather by the
USE of Iannn extracted iiom certain barks, &cs
When the force and strength Of the Tannn
is worn out, leather becomes dedd, hdrd, dTy,
Jrittif, erackcd, rOrered mhh a crust, Sc
rms .ALL KNOW. TO restore then hfe,
S0ttneSS, mOistness, srengh, smOothnesS,
and remove all crust, fly. or bster-restore
the tdnnin. This substance the leather never
can receive the second time but the whole
r,tues Of it are in this article, the OIL OF
ITANNIN- which penetratcs tho slliiest and
hardest leather, if il has been twenty years m
use (; and if it tears easily with the fingers, It
imparts at once strength that Is utterly IN
credible until seen. II becomes Hke ne,o
feather, in all respects, with IA delightful suit
ness aud polish and makes all leather c0mpiete-
~ and perfectly imperriOus to water--par'
tIcularly boots, shoes, carriage tops, harness,
hose, trunks, and in fact all things mate of
feather, giving n splendid polish, even higher
than new leathei has, and at least d0ubiing lis
wear and durability, in wh,iever manner the
leather j. used THESE ARE FACTS.
10 convince of their truth, any man trying
the article and not finding il so, shall have his
money again. Remember that this is serious
aud true.
We have 10 say it, for we would never
have believed the wonderful effects of this oil
upon leather without seeing it, and we ask not
for the creduty Of the community till they have
seen, and then, we know that they must hnop
these to be facts. Directions for use, with each
bottle. Patent leather and its polish restored by
this oil.
! Corns casnot long exist where this is used for
boots aud shoes, il keeps the leather soft.
| LEATHER cannot decay, or crack, mould or
blister, during the common age of man, 50 far as
we can Judge by experience, If lhls oh i proper
ly used
! LADIES' shoes of the finest kinds are beau
! lied aud rendered water. proof by il and SO
are the shoes or boots Of all Others who use it
! Danish then, all India rubber or other over
shoes, and use this oil. The proprietors will
warrant, that if leather is first soaked in this oil
and then made into boot, and that boot sunk
! three months in water, not one drOp of wet or
moisture can ever enter the boot, unless it runs
over The top and such boot shall wear rdonbie
The time of its mate that is not so prepared.
! Now. if these things are true, the discovery
is Of infinite value to the world. UH is not
iyue, il is the case, thing in the world To prove
1t, without cost. Who then will refuse uial
! Those who will may wear old shoes groan
with corns, ride with old carriage tops-haye old
harness, aud throw them away half ed-look
filthy themselves, and all about them expend
double what is necessary for articles Of leather.
To their hcartss content, for what we care, il
their prejudccs are SO strong, they will not try
II new discovery. We have no favors to ask OF
them, they are the greatest sufferers, and we
beg for nobody's custom or patronage. Now,
gentlemen, please yourselves.
