LIGHT HousR NoS-ExPLoslvE On.
We offer to the public this celebrated oil,
and in doing so we unhesitatingly pro-
nounce il superior to any burning oil in
use. 1t is non.explosive, free from
grease, IL will not grease the hands, it
will not soil or grease the clothing, it is
more brilliant than gas, it produces a
soft and beautiful light, il is not so trying
to the eyes, it can be used in any kero'
sene lamp by changing or altering the
burner. II has been most favorably re-
ceived, and pronounced by judges to be
the best and most reliable oil now in the
market; and in consequence of the
many serious accidents arising from the
explosion Of kerosene, this oil is extern
sively known and used in preference.
We are now prepared to furnish the
trade with this valuable oil, and we so
licit from the public an examination and
trial. First premium awarded at the
Louisiana State Fair, held in New Or
leans, from Nov. goth to 9th, 1866,
against all competitors.
