As accidents tciU happen, even in toell-regulated. families, it 

 Is very desirable to liave some cheap and convenient way for 

 repairing Furniturfe, Toys, Crockery, &c. 



SPALDING'S PREPARED GLUE 

 meets all such emergencies, and no household can afford to be 

 ■without it. It is always ready and up to the sticking point. There 

 is no longer any necessity for limping chairs, splintered veneers, 

 headless dolls, and broken cradles. It is just the article for cone, 

 shell, and other ornamental work, so popular with ladies of refine- 

 ment and taste. 



This admirable preparation is used cold, being chemically held 

 in solution, and possessing all the valuable qualities of the best 

 cabinet-makers' Glue. It may be used in the place of ordinary 

 mucilage, being vastly more adhesive.
