Dear Sir: \ big mill-owner. Spar
tansburg. S. c.. wanted 5000 gallons
of paint, and bought by price: paid 5
cents less than ours: got a ''lead-and-
zine paint: but the lead was sulphate
of lead. not carbonate. Sulphate
costs about half: and covers about
half.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as the ) cents paid
for He saved" ) cents: and it
cost him 30.
On no: it cost him more than that:
we forgot the labor. Can't work it
out exactly; don't know how long it'll
wear.
Short-measure besides: that alone
was twice as much as his saving" )
cents.
1t was this. too: some loss there:
don't know how much.
There was to much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that: he
didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't make
much by that 5 cents.
Go by the name: and the name is
Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly

If you could combine all of the
germ destroying medicines in one
solution you would have about a
counterpart of Anti>eptic Mul-en-ol.
We will guarantee that the germ does
not live that can survive single APP
plication of this unexcelled germici-
Dial preparation. Did it ever occur to
you that all suppuration. liberation
and inflammation, are dependent On
germ infection. This being true. the
sensible thing to do in all such eases
is to apply freely this positive germ
icidal remedy. You thereby remove
both the cause and the disease, and it
is the wisest thing to do under all cir
cumstances. AS one of the various
germ diseases have been conquered,
the great mass of fine people have de-
manded a preparation for the relief
and cure of many of the aches and
ills of every hay life. You have this
now in an agreeable form, the most
potent of all gremicides, 1t is An
