TAXIDERMISTS & COLLECTORS. 



Complete directions for Presc-rving and 

 Mounting Birds, by the new process of Em- 

 palming, with Recioe for preparing the Cheui- 

 'ical Preservative. No skinning required. The 

 Preservative quickly cures and hardens the 

 flesh, leaving ihe bird perfectly natural in 

 form and color. 



I'he shrinkage of the flesh in drying is coun- 

 teracted by a simple and effective process. 



Anyone can do the work, and specimens 

 generally look better than when preserved 

 the old way. Price, by mail $2.50. 



Send $i.ro for sample bird preserved by 

 this Process.
