A Treatise on FIR TREE OIL as an INSECTICIDE* 

 Its application to Plan ts and Animals, sent Post free 

 on receipt of address, by the Manufacturer, 



Important Notice. 



FIR TREE OIL so well-known as an Insecticide, is 

 effectual for washing household Cotton, Linen, and 

 "Woollen Fabrics, and its disinfecting, bleaching, and 

 cleansing qualities when added to water for washing pur- 

 poses, will, after the first trial, recommend itself. 



No Dry Soap or any such preparations must be used 

 with Fir Tree Oil. 



Half a wineglass-full of Fir Tree Oil to 10 gallons of 

 water for steeping, and the same quantity to an ordinary 

 size boiler for boiling, with half the usual quantity of 

 household Boap, will do the work splendidly, and with 

 half the trouble. 



For washing Dogs, Pigs, and other animals, half a 

 wineglass-full to a bucket of water, and used with ordi- 

 nary soap, will do better than any of the prepared soaps 

 for killing fleas, preserving the skin healthy, and making 

 the coat silky and very beautiful. One trial will be 

 conclusive. 



P.S.— Paraffin Oil will mix with Fir Tree Oil in propor- 

 tion of a quarter of a pint of the former to a pint of the 

 latter, and become soluble in water.

SPHINCTER GRIP 



GARDEN HOSE 



The Sphincter Grip Spring Steel Galvanised Armoured Hose 

 is the most valuable improvement'in Hose since 1840. Its lasting 

 qualities are ten times greater than any Hose not armoured. 



Its complete success has caused some parties to infringe the 

 Patents owned and controlled solely by us; and we therefore 

 notify all such that the making, vending, or use of any armoured 

 wire-wound Hose not of our manufacture is an infringement of 

 one or more of our several Patents, any violation of which will 

 be promptly prosecuted. Brass plates set between the Hose 

 and wire denote our Manufacture and the Patents.
