PURITY AND HEALTH. 
CARBOLIC SOAPS 
AND 
Saponaceous Compounds 
or 
Carbolic and Cresylic Acids. 
Disinfectant, Insect Destroyer, Pre- 
ventive of Fungus, etc. 
We have watched with great interest the results of vari- 
ous applications of these compounds, knowing that if suc- 
cessful, they would he of incalculable benefit to the commu- 
nity. By tests made under our own supervision, and the re- 
ports of careful observers, we believe it to be established 
that these Cresylic Compounds are 
1st. Complete Disinfectants. —They not only re- 
move all noxious odors from sinks, privies, Btables, etc., but 
will destroy all infection in clothing, rooms, etc., washed 
with their solution. Thus, contagion from Small Pox, Typhus 
Fever, Cholera, and other diseases, may be effectually pie- 
vented. They are used in the New York and other Hospitals 
for these purposes. 
2d. Insect Destroyers.— An animal washed with 
Carbolic Soap will be entirely freed from all vermin. It 
will destroy ticks on sheep, fleas on dogs, lice on cattle or 
poultry, roaches, ants, bed-bugs, etc., in rooms. It repels 
flies from animals, and thus is especially useful in case of 
wounds or sores from any cause. 
3il. Preventive of Fungus Growth .—On this 
point we ask for further experiment. "We feel confident this 
soap, properly applied, will prevent smut in wheat, mildew 
ou vines, and similar parasitic growth, and trust that exper- 
imenters will furnish the result of their trials. 
4: th. Cleaning Sores, etc.— For washing ulcers and 
other foul sores, and preventing gangrene in wounds, etc., 
Carbolic Soap is, we believe, unequaled. We know also that 
It h;is been successful wherever used, for foot rot in sheep, 
and mange, itch, ring-worm, and other skin diseases. 
Desiring that our readers should be benefited by the ex- 
tended introduction of what we believe to be so valuable, 
we have established a general agency for the sale of these 
compounds, keeping them constantly on hand, and are pre- 
pared to fill orders at wholesale or retail, at the following 
prices,.

HUNTER AM TRAPPER 
HALSEY THRASHER, 
AM EXPERIENCED HUNTER. 
1LUSTRATED. 
This little hook will be read with interest by all who 
would find instruction and entertainment in the narrative 
of an old hunter's experience. The following, from the 
author's Preface, will give an idea of the character and 
design of the work : • 
Lt I am a blacksmith by trade, but when I was a boy I 
became fond of a pun and a trap, and my first success in 
my shop was to make a steel trap. It was my aim to 
become an expert trapper, and I tried my hand at catch- 
ing foxes. 
" Many a dollar have I paid to cunning old men to learn 
the art, and I have succeeded pretty well, too ; but why 
has not some man of experience written a book explain- 
ing the art of successfully trapping the different kinds'of 
fur animals ? I propose to tell the boys how to do it. 
"I have studied the nature and habits of animals of 
different species, and a plan that was good to capture the 
otter, the mink, and the beaver, forty years ago, is just 
as good now as then. The nature of animals doesn't 
change like the nature of men ; we have grown wiser, 
while they have remained the same. The mode of cap- 
turing them when I was a boy, and the way used now, 
may be put together, and succeed better than either one 
alone. 
" Men are traveling through the country selling recipes 
at a high price to teach how to dress skins. I propose in 
this work to teach all these things, so that a man may 
have them in a neat little volume for reference at any 
time. I shall also treat upon angling for the trout, the 
bass, and the pickerel, which I think I understand, I 
hope to make it alt so plain that even the inexperienced 
will, in some measure, succeed."
