Art of Embalming. 



A CHEAP AND RELIABLE PROC- 

 ESS OF MOUNTING SPECIMENS. 



As a promoter of high art in taxidermy I would 

 not advocate less artistic methods in mounting birds. 

 Neither would I advise the process of embalming in 

 preference to the old method. 



Nevertheless, it is suggested to the hundreds of 

 your readers who are not professed taxidermists, in 

 truth, to all amateurs, to learn the simple, yet satis- 

 factory, method of embalming. 



This process, now over a quarter of a century old, 

 and used by hundreds of workers, has many advan- 

 tages, especially in the adjustment of a bird's legs 

 and wings, which are not possessed by the commonly 

 used methods. It is very easily learned, and even 

 children can readily acquire it, the work not occupy- 

 ing one third of the time needed in the other methods. 



The cost of a good work on taxidermy, from $5 to 

 f 10, is, in itself, a serious inroad on slim purses, and 

 alone prevents many from attempting the art ; while 

 private instruction at a cost of Sio to S50 is not rarely 

 unsatisfactory, and sometimes entirely unsuccessful. 



Complete Instructions and Embalm- 

 ing Powder, sufficient to mount 

 twenty birds the size of a robin.
