Rubber Tire for Rocking Chairs." Any carpenter or mechanic 

 will be able to apply these tires, by using the grooving tool, 

 tacks, etc.. supplied with them. These chair tires have been rec- 

 ommended for hospitals, by many physicians, and have proved 

 satisfactory on hotel veraiidas, in addition to their advantages 

 for use in homes. [Springfield Rubber Tire Rocker Co.,

O'SUI.LIVAN'S RUBBER CEMENT. 

 The accompanying cut illustrates the appearance of a can 



of rubber cement, as 

 placed on the market 

 by the O'Sullivan Rub- 

 ber Co. (Lowell, Massa- 

 chusetts), the rubber 

 heel and sole manufact- 

 urers. The company 

 state that " This cement 

 was put on the market 

 through necessity." 

 That is, some dealers 

 were found to be enthu- 

 siastic over the compa- 

 ny's rubber soles, and 

 some were not. Inves- 

 tigation showed that " it 

 was all on account of 

 the cement." As they 

 write to The India 

 Rubber World: 

 " When we made our 

 rubber soles, they had 

 to be attached to the 



leather sole, and we saw then the necessity of making a rubber 



cement that would do the work effectively." 



"holdfast" unlosable stopper. 

 The idea of this recently patented device may be gained 

 readily by an inspection of the various illustrations which ap- 

 pear herewith. Ever since hot water bags have been used, their 

 owners have been losing or mislaying the stoppers. There 

 never has been a way of keeping the bag and the stopper in 

 the same locality, except by tying them together with string, 

 ribbon, or other makeshift, and these always become wet, 

 soggy, and twisted into uselessness. It is said that 

 heretofore no device was known by which one

could fasten the stopper to the bag and yet allow the stopper 

 to turn easily. The " Holdfast " unlosable stopper, for which 

 two patents have just been granted, is offered as a solution of 

 the difficulty. The stopper has a loose revolving ring below 

 the handlebar to which ring a neat chain is secured, which is 

 attached to the handle of the bag. The most notable thing 

 about it is its simplicity and the fact that it never entangles. 

 The stopper never gets lost. The " Holdfast " stopper was pat- 



ented in the United States August 6 and October i, 1901, and 

 additional patenis in this country are pending. These patents 

 are protected against infringement by the Patent Title and 

 Guarantee Co. (New York). Patents have also been applied 

 for in Canada, Great Britain, and Germany. The exclusive 

 right to manufacture these stoppers is controlled by A. Schra- 

 der's Son, No. 32 Rose street, New York. 



COMBINATION SYRINGE AND WATER BOTTLE. 

 The article illustrated in the accompanying engraving forms 

 an exceptionally complete outfit in the way of a fountain 

 syringe and water bottle. 

 The tubing connections 

 and pipes are of a larger 

 internal diameter than 

 usual, to admit of rapid 

 flow. Each syringe is 

 packed in a handsome 

 paper box, with hard 

 rubber vaginal irrigator, 

 curved vaginal pipe, 

 rectal and infants' pipes, 

 and metal shut off and 

 screw hook. The water 

 bag is made of maroon 

 rubber, with black trim- 

 mings, so designed as to 

 present an attractive ap- 

 pearance. This combi- 

 nation as a whole is pro- 

 tected by patents, and 

 bears the brand " Spe- 

 cial. "=U n d e r the 

 same patents are made 

 the "Special" watei 

 bottles, also of maroon 

 rubber and with black 

 trimmings. These goods 

 arc offered at a higher price than many other water bottles, 

 but are guaranteed for two years. fWhitall Tatum Co., Nos. 

 46 48 Barclay street. New York.] 



" PENTUCKET SPECIAL" FOUNTAIN SYRINGE. 

 This cut represents the form of the " Pentucket Special "

 new line of rubber goods 

 introduced by The H. E. 

 Webster Co., Inc., suc- 

 cessors to John A. Web- 

 ster & Co., No. 21 Black- 

 stone street, Boston. 

 The house has been long 

 established as manufact- 

 urers, importers, and 

 jobbers of druggists' 

 glassware, in connection 

 with which they have 

 handled other druggists' 

 sundries. Since the begin- 

 ning of September last they 

 have been having a special 

 line of syringes and hot water bags manufactured for their 



trade.
