OZONE 



A New Process for Preserving all Per- 

 ishable Articles, Animal and Vegeta- 

 ble, from Fermentation and Putrefac- 

 tion, rctainining their Odor & Flavor. 



OZONE 



A FORTUNE 



"OZONE— Purified air, active •tnte of oxygen.**— WEHSTER. 



This Preservative is not a liquid, pickle, or any of the old and exploded processes, but Is simply and 

 pmely OZONE, us produced und applied by nn entneiy new process. Ozone Is the ai tiseptic principle 

 ul BVetJ substance, mid possesses Hie power to preserve animal and egetablo sti ncturcs from decay. 



There in nothing on the luce of* (he earlta llithle to decay or -poll which Ozone, the 

 Rf W PrMervatlve, will uot preaervc tor all time In a perfectly fresh and palatable 

 condition. 



The value of Ozone as a natural preserver has been known to our abler chemists for years, but, until 

 now, no means of producing it in a practi. al, inexpensive and wtmple manner, have been discovered. 



Dltcro copic observations prove that decay Is due to septic luatter or minute germs, t .at develop and 

 teed upon animal und vegetable structures, Uzone, applied by the Prentiss method, seizes and de- 

 stroys these germs at once, and tlius preserves. At our offices in Cincinnati can be seen almost every 

 article tuat can be tnuugbt oi, preserved uy this process, arm every visitor Is welcome to come In.tuste, 

 smell, take awa> wah uiui, and test In every way the merits ol Ozone at* a preservative- We will also 

 preserve, Iree of charge, any article that is brought or sent, prepaid to us, and return it to the sender, 

 lor hlni to keep anil test. 



t'Kisil MEATS, such as beef, mutton, veal, pork, poultry, game, fish. &c , preserved by this 

 uietnod, enn be shipped to Europe, subjected to atmospheric changes, and return to this country In a 

 state ot perfect preservation. 



».<.«« *i can he treated at a cost of less than one dollar a thousand d zen. and be kept In an ordinnry 

 room six months or more, thoroughly preserved, tue yolk held in Its norma condition, and the eggs as 

 tresh and perfect as on tne day they were treated and will sell as strictly " choice. The advantage in 

 presei vlng egws is readily seen ; there are seasons when they can be bought fur 8or 10 cents a dozen, 

 and by holding tliein, an be bo Id tor an adv nee ot iroiu one hundred tu three hundred per cent. O.-e 

 man, wit'i tins method, can preserve 5,000 dozen a day. 



FKUITS uiav he permitted to ripen in tuelr native climate, and can be trans orted to any part of 

 the win' d. The Juice expres-ed from rruitscan be held for an indertnite period without fermentation 

 —neiice the great value ot ti. is process for producing n temperance beverage. Cider can be held per- 

 fectly sweet lor iiny length oi time. 



VEWE I' A. lil^Es* can ue kept tor an indefinite period in their natural condition, retaining their 

 odo> and fi ivor, treated in their original packages, at a small expense. Ail grains, tluur, meal, etc., are 

 held in their normal condition. 



It I I I l it alter being treated by this process, will not become rancid. 



Dead nutnan bedies. treated before decomposition pets in, can be held In a natural condition for 

 weeks, without puncturing the skin or mutilating the body In any way. Hence tiie great value ot Ozone 

 to undertaker;*. 



There Is no change in the slightest particular In the appearance of any article thu- preserved, and no 

 trace of any foreign or unnatural odor or taste. Tne process is so simp e tuat any child can operate it 

 as well alio as successludv as a man. There is no expensive apparatus or machinery reuuired. 



A room dned with different articles, such us eggs, meat, tlsu, etc., can be treated at one time, without 

 additional trouble or expense. 



U&~ In fact, there l* nothing that Ozone will not presei-ve. Think ot everything you can 

 1 1 1 nt is liable to Hour, decay or spoil, and men remember that we guarantee that Ozone will preserve it 

 m exactly the condition you want it for any length of time, if you will remember this, it wilt save 

 asking questions as to whether Oz me will preserve this or that article— It will preserve uiiythuic 

 and everything yon can think, ol*. 



Tuere is not a township in the United States In which a live man cannot make any amount of njnnev, 

 from fl.uoo to $10,001 1 a year, that ue pieuses. We desire to get a live man interested in eacn county in 

 the United States, in whose hands we can place this Preservative, and through him secure the business 

 whicu every county ought to produce. 



Awaits any Man who Secures Control of 

 OZONE in any Township or County. 



A. C Boweii, Marion, Ohio, has cleared $i>,oo(J in two months ; $^ for a test package was his Hr t in-

 your hand*) the means ol* proving for yourself that we have not claimed half enough. 

 To any person wno doubts any uf these statements, and who is interested sufficiently to make tneu ip, 

 we will pay all traveling and hotei expenses for a visit to this city, if we fail to prove any statement 

 that we nave made. 



HOW TO SECURE A FORTUNE with OZONE. 



A test package of Ozone, containing a sufficient quantity to preserve one thousand dozen eu'gs, or 

 other articles in proportion, will be sent to any applicant on receipt of $2. This package will enable 

 the applicant to pursue any line of tests and experiments he desires, and thus satisfy himself as to the 

 extraordinary merits of ozone as a Preservative. After having thus satistled himself, an had lime to 

 look the Held over to determine what he wishes to do in the future -whether to sell the article to others 

 or to confin-- it to bis own use. or any other line of policy which is best suited to liim and tu his town- 

 ship or county— we will enter into an arrangement with him that will make a fortune f r him and give 

 us good profits. We will give exclusive township or county priv. leges to the first responsible applicant 

 who orders a test package and desires to control the business in this locality. The man who secures 

 control of Ozoue for any special territory, will eujoy a monopoly which will surely 

 enrich him. 



Don't let a day pass until you have ordered a Test Package, and If you desire lo secure an exclusive 

 privilege, we assure you that delay may deprive you of It, t. r the applications come in to us by scores 

 every mail — many by telegraph. " Fl st come first served," is our rule. 



If you do not care t < send money in advance lor the test package, we will send it C. 0. !>., but this will 

 put yuu t> the expense of charges for return of money. Our correspondence is very large ; we have all 

 we can do to attend to the shtpptng of orders and giving attention to our working agents. Therefore, 

 we cannot give any attention to letters which do not order ozone. If you think of any article that you 

 are douttul about Ozone preserving, rememberwe guarantee that It will preserve it, uo matter 

 what It Is. 



KEFEKEXCE8 -We desire to call your attention to a class or references which no enterprise or 

 firm based on anything but the soundest business and highest commercial merit could secure. 



We refer, i y permission, as to our integrity and toithe value of the Prentiss Preservative, to the 

 following gentlemen : Kdward C. Boyce. Member Board of Public Works: K. O. Estielby, City Comp- 

 troller; Amos So. tin, Jr.. Collector Internal Kevenue ; Wulsin and Worthington. Attorneys; Martin 

 11. Harrell and B. F. Hopkins, County Commissioners ; W. H. Cappeller, County Auditor, all of Cincin- 

 nati, Hamilton County. Ohio. These gentle are each familiar with the meritB of c.ur Preservative, and 

 know from actual observation that we have withu .t question 



The Most Valuable Article in the World! 



The t~ you invest In a test package will surely lead you to secure a township or county, and then your 

 way is absolutely clear to make from *2,ut»o to $10,000 a year.

MANUAL OF TIIE APIARY, 



Bv A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Professor of Entomology In the 



State Agricultural College of Michigan. 

 320 I"»k« - ; i :t t Fine Illustrations. 



This is a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual o . 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly Illustrated. 

 The first edition of ii.tHU copies was exhausted In 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work has been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honeybee, 

 Illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

 the products of the Honey Bee ; the races of bees; 

 full desccrlptions of lioney-prodm Ihu plants.treea, 

 shrubs, etc., splendidly illustrated -and lust, though 

 not least, detailed instructions tor the various 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 afford to do without. It Is fully "up with the times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can Interest the 

 apiarist. It Is not on'y Instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Head the following opinions of the Book; 



All agree that It Is the wor < of a master and of 

 real value.— L'Aptcultutti Paris. 



1 think Coo .'« Manual is the best of our Ameri- 

 can works.- 1<EH' IS T. I'ul.BY. 



It appears to ha e cut the ground from under 

 future book-ii'akers.- Itriti li live Jottriuit. 



Prof. Cook's valuable Manual has been my con- 

 stant guide in my operations and successful man- 

 agement of the apiary.- J. P. WEST. 



1 have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's New Manual of the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— K. 11. Wvnkiiup. 



This book is just what everyone interested in 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who oo tains 

 It, will ever regret having purchased.— Mich. Fur. 



Is a masterly production, and one that no bee- 

 keeper, however limited his means, can afford to 

 do without.— Ntbrnslot F-trmer. 



To all who wish to engage In bee culture, a 

 manual is a necessity. Prof. Cook's Manual ia an 

 exhaustive work.— Heroltl, Monticello, III. 



With Cook's Manual I am more than pleased. It 

 is fully up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. K. WKNZEL. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myself, and much uf it is due 10 the clear, dis- 

 interested information contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— W,m. Van antwkup, M. I>. 



It is the latest book on the bee, and treats of both 

 the bee and hives, with their Implements, It is of 

 value to all bee-raisers.— Ky. Live Stock llccord. 



It is a credit to the author as well the publisher. 

 I have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or loreign, which 1 like so much.- 1,'Ahbe DO 

 BoiS, editor of the Bulletin D' A piculteur, l«'rance. 



It nut only gives the natural history of these tn- 

 dustriuus insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series of directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description ol honey 

 producing plants, and an ovtended account of the 

 enemies ol bees. — Drnmcrot, Pulaski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure I his wide 

 meciun of the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To all taking an iniere t In this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable wnrk, read it carefully 

 and practice as advised.- Agriculturist, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 tieafise on bee-culture In Uui'ope or America: a 

 scientific work on modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee-man will welc me and it is 

 essential lo every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely [Tinted, neatly bound and is a credit 

 to the West.— Wrstmi Agriculturist. 



This work is undoubtedly the most co "p'ete 

 manual for the instruction of bee-keepers which 

 has ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There Is no subject relating tu the culture 

 .if bees left untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the wurk Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede uf apiarists which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this must 

 interesting ol all occupations.— A mtriinn Inventor 



It may safely be pronounced the most complete 

 and comprehensive of the several manuals which 

 have recently appeared on the subject o( bees and 

 their handling in apiaries. The studies of the 

 structure of the bee, the different varieties, the 

 various bee products, and following these the 

 points of management, extending to the smallest 

 deiails. are all of high and practical value. Prof. 

 Cook has presented the latest phases of progressive 

 bee-keeping, and writes of the themesoi^cussed in 

 the light of his own experience.- Puciftc Iturul. 



Of the many excellent works which we have ex- 

 amined on bee-cullure, we consider Prof. Cook's 

 the most valuable for the study of those who con- 

 template going into the business or are already 

 keeping bees. If thoroughly studied, and Its teach- 

 ings conformed to, by the apiarist, who exercises a 

 reasonable degree of common sense, he or she can- 

 not fail to achieve at least a reasonable degree of 

 success. The author ad resses himself to the 

 work with a degree of enthusiasm which carries 

 the reader with him to the end.- K'tns-is Farmer. 



Cook's Manual of the Apiary holds In America 

 the same high rank, that Is accorded In (Germany 

 to the book of which Dzier/.on is the author ; the 

 onlv difference being that Prof. Cook's Manual 

 combines the profoundness of the (JeruiHn pastor 

 with the superiority of tne practical American. 

 He refers in several instances to Darwin: and 

 does not belong to that ciass which hates every- 

 thing that is foreign, for he speaks of German nat- 

 uralists with great reverence.-Grrmunl'Yeu/tJi/ier, 

 Milwaukee, Wis.
