70 the important discovery that the White y Zine
Paint, manufacturedby the NewiJerse Zinc Com,
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
rayages Of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation Of
any kind combines the same protective effect

tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send withii a complete se-
ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire

of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the Invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
