| REVOLUTION IN THE MANUFACTURE OF

| the most important discovery OF this century
| The manufacture of leather has been and is now
an exceedingly expensive business, owing great

material. bark. IT has, therefore for years past,
been the great object of our chemists and tan
pers to discover substitute fer bark or an assis
| tant tanning agent which, in measure would
| possess the important tanning acids and which
would thus lessen the use of the expensive bark.
; Tbrous the great discovery of Mr.. Hiekel, this
important ;anl.ins agent has been found, in the
shane of 4 simple vegetable matter" by nature

sists in the abundance of this agent at all times
and at all places. of its inexpensive nature, and
