©estroymg Insects. 
Dr. Asa Fitch, New-York State Entomologist says: It 
is just the thing with which to cleanse trees and herbs 
from insects of all kinds. 
For Watering the Garden. 
A hose of any desired length can be attached to tlie 
Ilydropult, to draw water from a cistern, and a large gar 
den can be sprinkled in less time than would be required 
to draw tlie water in tlie ordinary manner. 
A Monscliold Convenience. 
The Ilydropult will serve every purpose to which a 
portable hand pump can be applied. A gentleman in 
Brooklyn, N. Y., who has it in use says “ It is worth a 
servant girl and a half for washing windows, and is equal 
to three Patricks in cleaning a carnage. My son aged II 
enjoys the sport of using it for these and other purposes, 
and I consider it worth the price paid in the amusement 
it gives him, to say nothing of its general utility.” 
The whole apparatus weighs but eight pounds, is easily 
worked, will last for a life time with ordinary care. 
Price $12, with a liberal discount to wholesale purchasers
