OIL OF TANNIN,
OR LEATHER RESTORER.

NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convertA
ed into leather by the use of Tannn extracted FROM
certain banks, sc.
When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out, leather becomes dead, hard dry BRITTLE cracked,
covered with crust, sc. THIS ALL SNOW. To re-
store, then, life, sofness moistness strength smooth
ness and raInoye all crust fly, or bster-restore the
tannin. 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 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
pervious to water-particulary boots, shoes carr-
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 old shoes, groan with
corns, tide with Old carragetops-hav old harness,
and throw them away half used-look filthy them
selves and all about them-expend double what is
necessary for articles of leather thor hearts con-

DEAFNESS.

Deafness.
DR.. McNAIR'S ACOUSTIC OIL-Thosc deaf
FROM infancy often receive, in most miraculous
manner their hearing when they least expect it, by
some triAng accident or event, which shows them
how easily they might have much sooner had their
hearing and saved themselves and their friends the
pain of conversing in loud tone, without pleasure
Of being neglected and summed to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty, therefore, it is
that use all necessary means to remove such an
affection, and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures This EAR OIL has the effect so to re-
eve the tension, and bring into the natural action
of the parts to restore the hearing when lost or
impaired. This is proved by so many and wel-known
cases, that, where known, it needs no praise. The
great wish of the proprietor Isl that each may speak
to others OF its uncommon virtues, till sufferers may
know and be relieved and restored by its USE This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many of long standing. ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil 1t will relieve at once or il
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove the
cause and check its progress. Those who have been
long deaf should continue ITS application few weeks
to hear well. Each flask has full directions for use
attached to it. 5l8 @
