OIL OF TANNIN,

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the of Tannin extracted from
certain banks, &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 them life, softness, mostness, strength smooth
ness, and all crust fly, blister-restore 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-
traes the sfest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at 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 INDEPENDENTLY boots shoes, carri-
age-tops, 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 carriage-tops-have old harness,
and throw them away half used-look filthy them
