EGYPTIAN WATERPROOF COATING call
the attention of the public, especially the
owners of real estate, to the charter of the
Egyptian Waterproof Coating Company.
which will be found in another column of
days REPUBLICAN. The office OF the Com
pany is at No. 50 Chartres street.
The Egyptian waterproof coating. which
was patented by the United States Patent
Office on the fourth of May, 1869, is a new
invention, being composed of materials
which together possess remarkable antisep-
tic qualities, insoluble in water and unatfect-
ed by dampness. Experiments made ON
cisterns, flooring Of warehouses, fences,
stills and joists, telegraph posts, crossties,
bridges, ETC., plainly show that dry lumber,
which is intended to be used in the water or
in contact with dampness, will not rot
when coated with the Egyptian. Apple
| able for the use of the marine, vessels,
piles, etc., and particularly in the Gulf
of. Mexico, where barnacles destroy any
kind of wood, satisfactory experiments
show that this danger is no more to
be feared. Used on collins as sanitary
measure, like in Europe, the Egyptian coat
| ing has given here full satisfaction in the
experiments made by the most learned and
| competent physicians. Even in this warm
and damp climate the causes of infection
| from death have no more reason to be ap-
| pretended. In using the Egyptian coatin 6
for wood pavements, no material in the
world can enter into serious competition
with it.
The company above mentioned, com
posed of stockholders Of the most honora-
BILE character, and among the most enter
prising gentlemen of this city, have the
project to organize special corporations for
the manufacture of the several articles
connected with the discovery of this new
produce. One of them is already nearly
organized and ready to enter into opera
ton. We are authorized to say that its
object is to create here a general under
taking business, similar to those estab-
lished in most of the large cities 9!
Europe. This is indeed very much needed
here, and the public health and comfort
will be unQuestionably promoted thereby
and what is the most important for all will
be the absence of infection, either before OF
after death and in the neighborhood of oul
numerous cemeteries, most all situated in the
middle Of our city.
