rENHE undersigned having purchased the
Il right for this Cement in Miflin and Gen.
tre counties, are now prepared to furnish and
put 1t on roofing wherever desired-the roof
being sheeted by the owner. Scientific men
under the direction of government, and ar
chitects and builders in various parts of the
country, for years have been studying and
experimenting to discover some composition
or article for roofing which would resist the
changes Of our climate, and would unite the
qualities Of MtperciousneSs 10 Water, htcom-
6usti6it1g, Durability and CHedpaeSs. No
article now in use possesses these qualities.
Shingles are not fire proof, and cannot be used
upon fiat roofs Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs. The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs are SO great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
a new roof. The various cements and com
positions which have been introduced can be
supplied only to very fat roofs. and they arc
all 50 affected by the action of the weather
that they will melt and run in summer and
crack in winter, and i'll a short time become
crumbly and worthless. The inventor of the
Galvanic Cement has labored twenty years to
Obvlate these difficulties, and it is believed by
those who have had opportunities to test the
matter, that be has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
First-It is completely impervious to water
| Water may continually stand upon the roof
| without affecting it in the least.
Second-lt is fire proof Itis so incombus-
tble that it will afford ample and perfect pro
lection against fire, sparks and burning shin
giles from another building immediately ad-
joining.

atmospheric changes, having been tested for
several years by the Patentee, at Syracuse,
New York.
Fourth-It is cheap. Roofs will be put on
for about half the cost of tin, and will last
much longer.
| Fifth-Repairs are easily and cheaply made.
Sixth 1t is sufficiently elastic to entirely
resist the expansion and contraction by heat
and cold, and will remain perfect and solid in
! the warmest and coldest weather.
| Seventh-It is adapted to all kinds of roofs,
either fat or steep.
Eghth-It is valuable for repairing old
roofs. Old shingle roofs may be covered
without removing the shingles. Old metallic
roofs can be made perfectly tight and secure
Ninth-It is especially adapted to all kinds
/ Of scanning around battlements, sky-GghtS
and chimneys, and for the lining Of cave

trouble for years, and which have continued
to leak in spite Of all efurts, can be made
perfectly secure by this cement.
Tenth--It has been proved to he the best
! article ever used for covering car tops and
steamboat decks.
Eleventh--This cement applied to new tin
roofs preserves them from rusting, by fur
nshing a coat which is at once impervious tt
water and an almost perfect non conductor o
heat
Twclfth-It is the only roofing materia
patented which contains India rubber anC
gutta percha.
