To have Dry and Warm Feet use 
GISHURSTINE 
As a Dubbing on tbe Soles and Uppers of Boots & Shoes. 
From the Florist and Pomolooist, January, 1881. 
The gardening world is indebted to the originator of Gishurst Compound for 
a new substance, called Gishurstine, which is to be as beneficial to the health of 
gardeners as the former is destructive to their enemies. It is intended for the 
preservation of gardeners’ boots, and when used will keep the feet dry, as it is 
repellent of water. It is to be rubbed in like dubbing, once or twioe a month, or 
oftener for boots in constant use, will soften the leather, and has no unpleasant 
smell. We have tried it, and find that it does what it professes to do, that is, 
keeps the feet dry, and makes the boots comfortable. 
From Mr. A. F. Barron, Royal Horticultural Society, Chiswick Gardens, 
22nd January, 1881. 
At the present timo I write to thank you for bringing the Gishurstine under 
my notice. I have tried it myself and my foreman in the garden have tried it, and 
found it excellent, far superior to anything we have ever used. 
From Mr. T. C. Wright, Lincoln’s Inn, 1st January, 1881. 
I am equally surprised and pleased to find that the boots I anointed liberally 
with Gishurstine are not only rendered by it perfectly waterproof and snowproof, 
but take as good a polish after as they did before anointment. 
From Miss Frances Power Cobbb, 4 th February, 1881. 
To-day I travelled over swamps and morasses on Wisley Co mm on for hours, 
and now I testify, that, though my boots were already rather worn, and last week 
decidedly let in damp, I have returned this evening with my feet warm and dry 
as if I had never stepped but upon a wooden floor. “ Gishurstine ” is admirable. 
From a Hunting Man, 22nd January, 1881. 
I must send a line to say that I have found the Gishurst Dubbing [Gishurstine] 
first rate, having given it a good trial in this thick snow on a pair of fishing boots, 
which were as hard as a brick, about twenty years old, and also on some new 
hunting boots, but when first made fifteen years ago for fishing boots, which used 
to punish me with their hardness ; both are as soft and oomfortable as possible. 
These boots were a first-rate test for the dubbing ; of course on all ordinary boots 
it is perfect also. 
Directions for Use. — Warm the Boots, then rub in Gishurstine thoroughly all 
over upper Leathers, Welts, and Soles, This may be repeated once or twice 
a month, or oftener. One application makes leather soft and boots oom- 
fortable. Gishurstined boots take a good polish with blacking. Gishurstine 
has no unpleasant smell, and is otherwise an improvement on old-fashioned 
dubbing. 
Gishurstine is sold in Tin Boxes, 6d. and Is.; by post 9d. and Is. 4d.
