 easily learned, occupying one-fourth of the time of old system of skinning and stuffing; 

 thoroughly tested; over twenty years in use; perfect form is the result from embalming; 

 perfect preservation; no insects can ravage specimens put up with our compound; the 

 specimens are completely mummified and will last forever; less than one-fifth usually

 pare them immediately for the cabinet.
