ing himself H c. Smith offered them
bottle of nickel-plating solution and the
recipe for making it, and small quantity
of each of the ingredients, for ST. They
were opposed TO paying such large sum
for it, but after he had 'nickel-plated'
brass knob on one of the chairs with
small portion of the solution and few
def movements of his hand they jumped
at the bargain. After closing that even
ipg every piece of brass about the shop
was beautifully nickeled. and the BARRIERS
went home feeling as happy though
they had solved the silver question. and
We're ready to advise every one to buy
bottle of the solution and get rich. Their
joy turned to sorrow when they came

particle of the nickel had disappeared, and

nickeling recipes.
