wi OIL.-This Oil, for briliancy, durability,
and purity light, and for lubricating purpo.
ses, whether applied to the delicate works OF a
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpasses
any oil now known.
It is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
prived Of that substance, which so seriously i'm
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds Of machine
~, and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any olea ginous substance now in use.
While it atfords q light superior to gas or cam

quality Of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure is ths oil that it will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits OF the
United States; having thereby in this, in every
other particular, advantage over the best sperm
oil as now Dsed.
After deyoting many years in experimenting

undersigned assures the public that he has cue
ceeded in producing the enc plus ultra" Of oils
He offers it superior to any known oil in the
