A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convert

store them life, softness, mostness strength smooth
ness and ramove all crust fly or blister4restore the

this article, the OIL OF TANNIN--which pene-
rates the stfest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use; and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that utterly
Incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly inn
pervous TO water-particularly 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

is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with

necessary for articles Of leather to thor hearts con-
