ses, whether applied to the delicate works of a
watch or the most ponderous machinery, SURPRISES
any oil now known. -.'ti@ ntat
1t is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
priyed of that substance, which SO seriously inn
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
ry; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any olea ginous substance now in use. .1as
While it affords light superior to gas or cam
phene it is also free from the dan gerous 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, in every
other particular, 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 al present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has suc-
ceeded in producing the .ne plus ultra'' of oils
He offeFsit as superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and lpbrcating,
and invokes the scientific of all countries to test
it and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that all
will agree that it is the finest oil ever red for
