KIOWELL'S Patent Tanning Machine.
i l. The great saving Of time and labor effected by
this machine renders it one Of the most valuable OF
modern inventions, being of the utmost importance
to those already engaged in the manufacture Of eath
err besides offering the greatest inducements to 9TH
ers for starting the business.
By this machine, which in its operation strictly
follows the principles Of the old way, all kinds Of
hides and skins may be tanned, not only so as to
produce superior article of leather, but with a
wing Of seventy-fve per cent in time, and fifty per
cent. in labor, besides great economy IN bark or
tanning material.
A tannery in which the improved method was
adopted, would, by its savings alone, be attended
with large profits, whilst neighboring one where
the old plan was pursued would be losing money.
The invention, which has been awarded a gold
medal by the American Institute, as being the most
valuable improvement ever introduced into this
branch of manufactures, has given the highest salts
faction in the different States in which il is in use.
In the opinion Of practical men who have adopted
the improvement, at the cost of about FIVE hundred
dollars establishment can be started which will
tan two thousand sides of sole leather, four thou
sand calf skins per annum, at fifty per cent less than
the usual expense Of manufacture. Where greater
amount OF business is required to be done, addi-
tiona outlay, Of course, will be necessary. BY this
machine sole leather be thoroughly tanned in
twenty 10 thirty days, upper leather in two weeks,
and calfskins in from three to seven days. The
subscribers offer for sale single and county rights
for the above, and will afford the most liberal facili
ties to those purchasing State rights for the purpose
ofreseling TO counties or individuals. A neat mod

ton, WILL il required be furnished gratis to all pur-
chasers.

illness, the rupture pad eing Of glass, Tin any
shape or form,) the adjustments Of the springs to
suit the action OF the body, and calculated TO be

double motion: first, by revolving on its own
axis; second, by the lever to which II is attached,
and where said lever is connected TO the man

others is obvious in this, that II is most ehecual in
retaining the parts in their proper place. and ma

form is durable, which in stuffed pads is not the
case, las they become saturated with the fluids
from the body.) The umbilical truss is unsur-
