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

NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the Of Tannn extracted from
certain barks, SIC.
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 ranove all crust, fly, or bsterrestore the
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 il has been
twenty years in use; and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it mparts at once strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather,
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish,
and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
pcrvious to particularly boots, Shoes carri
agetops harness, hose trunks and in fact all things
made Of leather, giving splendid polish, even high
er than 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-tops-have old harness,
and throw them away half used--look filthy then-
selves and all about them-expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to their hearts, con-

strong, they will DOT try new discovery. We have
