MAsON'S PATENT PURIFIED SPERM
wi OIL.-This Oil, for brilliancy, durability,
and purity as 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 e AS
II is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
prived Of that substance, which SO seriously im-
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
ry; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oeaginous substance now in use. y lsi'-
While it affords light superior to gas or CAM
phene, it is also free from the dangerous explosive
quality of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure is this oil that it will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this, as in every
other particular, an advantage over the best sperm
oil as now used.
After devoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils for the purpose of overcom
ing their impurities as at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has suc-
ceeded in producing the sne plus ultra of oils.
He offers it as superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and lubricatirg
and invokes the scientific of all countries to test
1t and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that all
will agree that it is the finest oil ever offered for
sale. WILLIAM d. TOWNSEND, Phila.
