She was most particular as to whether l
had described him correctly. Had he sandy
whiskers? was he fat? and was l sure he
had scar on his cheek?
Then it must be Uncle johnson; and he

This was piling up the agony with ven

From the ligh ed room, through the window,

EXPLOSIONS.

PHILADELPHIA Dec. "a, 1873.
I SELDOM if ever, pick up newspaper without
Il seeing, among the first items that arrest my at
IGNITION, the record of terrible boiler explosion
Very many causes assigned for this loss of life
and property. great deal is said to what should
be done and what should not be done. But scarce
y hear it said that these explosions are due to
an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler and yet eight
out of ten insanc that in our midst are I'M
doubtedly due to this cause.
Now, permit me to say that manufacture a Com
position that will readily and thoroughly remove this
incrustation; and while am constantly sending it
over the United States exact pay for its use
less it gives perfect satisfaction and fus all he
claims make for it.
My preparation will remove Scale from any Boiler,
no matter how deep may be the ircrusat on, and at
the same time It will prevent injury to the Boiler
from anything which may be held in solution by the
water contained it. This article will absolutely
prevent the formation of Scale If timely introduced
The powder which manufacture has been care
fuly tested by some of the ablest chemists in the
countr,, and its fitness to keep iron clean aud to
preserve it has been demonstrated by them in the
most satisfactory manner.
If you will send for my circular, with my terms and
full particulars, give me call, think will be
able to convince the most sceptcal that this compo-
sition will justify all I claim for it.
Very respectfully yours,
