•^"Complete Directions for preserving and 

 mounting birds by the New Process of 

 Embalming with Eeceipt for preparing the 

 Chemical Preservative 



No Skinning Required. 



The Preservative quickly cures and hardens 

 the flesh leaving the bird perfectly natural in 

 form and color. The shrinkage of the flesh 

 in drying is counteracted by a simple and 

 effective process. 



: — No trouble from Vermin. , 



Any one can do the work and specimens 

 generally look better than when preserved in 

 the old way. Price by mail $2.50. Send $1.00 

 for sample bird preserved by this process.
