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


Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the Of Tannin extracted from
certain barks, &c.
When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out, leather becomes dead, hard dry brittle, cracked
covered with crust &c THIS ALL KNOW To re-
store, then, life sotness, moisness strength SMOOTH
ness, and ramove all crust fly, bster-resore the
tannn. This substance the leather never can receive
the second time; but the whole virtues Of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
trates the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in and if it tears easily with the
fingers it imparts at once strength that is utterly
incredible until SEEM 1t becomes like new leather
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
perVious TO water-particulary boots Shoes carri-
agetops, harness, hose, trunks and in fact all things
made OF leather, giving splendid polish, even high
er than new leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability in whatever manner the leather
is used THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old Shoes groan with
corns, ride with old carrage-ops-hav old harness,
and throw them away half used--look filthy them
