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

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the use 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 them life, softness moistness strength smooth
ness, and ramove all crust fly or 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-whch pene-
trates 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 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
pervous TO water--particularIy boots, Shoes carr-
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 carriage-tops-have 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 to thor hearts con-
tent, for what we care, If their preudices are so
strong they will DOT try new discovery. We have no
ayors to ask of them they the greatest sufferers,
aud we beg for nobody's custom or patronage Now,
gentlemen, please yourselves.

DR.. Leidys Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.

from one bottle than three to ten of others; and
those Who after having used other preparations with

Ledy himself from the celebrated house of Peleter

psble of extracting the medicinal virtues of Sarsa-
para and other roots more elfectually than by any
other process.
As several hundred certificates of remarkable
cures and recommendations from clergymen and

gratitude for your kindness to me that make pub
lie acknowledgment Of the benefit have received
from your Sarsaparilla have been for many years
afflicted with cancer in the breast, and for four
years it was, thought, ncurable; it spread very
fast, that it had nearly covered the whole breast
and for many weeks was SO reduced with the loss
of blood and the pain of the wound, that was I'M
able to turn myself in bed and my suferings during
the whole winter were more than can tell. With
the advice of my friends, called two Of the most
eminent physicians of the place, who recommended
your preparation of Sarsaparilla, knowing of nothing
thatwould be as likely to help me which advice |
readily received and before had taken one bottle
found change in my feelings which induced me to
take more, and when had taken the third BOTTLE
was like another person both in health and strength
have taken your preparation since last March, and
although the wound IS not entirely healed, it is in
very favorable state, and believe it will be the
means, ultimately, of my entire cure and that the
afflicted may all find the relief which it alone can
give, is the wish OF their and your friend,

10 the strange amalg amation Of parties,
Lord Ashley and the ministry were both
defeated. The Government proposed
to fill the blank in the bill with the word
"twelve )" on this proposition they were
beaten by majority of three the com
milee again divided on the motion for
filing the blank with the word "ten,"
when I.old Ashley was left in minority
of sepen. Hardly any debate or division
in the parliamentary history ofthe country
has shown such an utter rending asunder
of the ordiary ties of party.
After some deep consideration, Sir
James Graham, as the mouth piece Of
the ministry announced the Withdrawal OF
the bill, with a view of introducing those
parts to which the House had agreed
intimating, that the passing of ten
hours bill would be followed by the
resignation of the Government. In the
course of his speech, borrowing the
phrase from the Examiner, he denounced
tho "Jack Cade" Legislation of the hu-
manity philosophers--a term which gave
great offence TO the dissenients, and for
which the Home Secretary was, on the
instant, and has since, been bitterly as
sailed Lord Ashley expressed his de-
termination to stick TO his colors, but two
nights after, he wavered, and, from a
fear of damaging the Government, con-
senied to give up the notion of forcing
his pet prolec, through the House. The
subject was again before the House on
Friday, when leave was given to intro
duce a new bill, which Sir James Gra-
ham explained to be the same in sub
stance as the one Withdrawn, except
that the clause for fixing the time of
work for women and young persons was
omitted The discussion is to be taken
after Easter.
