TO EXCHANGE. — For one month from date 

 my Process of Embalming, and Artistic 

 Mounting will be offered in exchange for first 

 class specimens. My price is 75c cash, but I 

 will accept three dollars worth of bird skins, 

 eggs in sets, minerals and other curios: all to 

 be in first-clats order, in exchange for my In- 

 structions in Embalming and Mounting, to- 

 gether with one pound of prepared Compound, 

 enough to prepare thirty to fifty small birds 

 When you write for exchange' stating what 

 you have, enclose a stamp for reply. MORRIS 

 GIBBS, M. D., Kalamazoo, Mich. 



TO EXCHANGE.— In the issue of June 15th, 

 Matress Deal of Belding Mich, advertises my 

 Embalming Method in exchange. Permit me 

 to say that he has never purchased my process 

 on the compound for embalming and that if 

 he has obtained my instructions he secured 

 them from another. For the reputation of my 

 Process, which was never so popular as at the 

 present day, it is but fair to sav that all other 

 advertised methods of Embalming are but cop- 

 ies of my instructions, while the preparations 

 accompanying them are cheap, utterly worth- 

 less, and therefore unsatisfactory. If you are 

 about to purchase, get the genuine, sold only
