A DAPTED TO every purpose for which the
- common pumps are applicable, with the i'm
Por'ant addition of being instantly converted into
an engine that will throw water from SO to 100
ieet' and forcing through pipe to any required
height. Theyare so simple in their construction
That any person of ordinary capacity may repair
them-ard so durable as seldom to need repairs,
The price is much less than any other forcing or
lifting Pump of like capacity. Their compact.
ness also makes them preferable in many situa-
lions, as one of common size may be packed in
box l3 by 20 inches, and inches thick, weigh
ing only about 35 lbs. The subscriber, living in
Harrisonburg, has purchased the right of this
Pump Tor Augusta county, and he fatters himself
