IMPROVEMENT OF THE AGE, 
LEAD-ENCASED BLOCK-TIN PIPE.— 
This article lias now been in use for the 
past lour years, and is daily growing in 
public favor, being heartily endorsed by 
all tlie leading chemists aiid physicians 
in tile country, also the Water Commis¬ 
sioners of New York, Brooklyn, and 
Boston. In addition to the plumbing of 
houses, it is largely used for conveying 
water from Springs and Wells, for Cooling Water by means 
of coils of pipe in Refrigerators, Milk, and Water Coolers. 
Water flows through this pipe as pure as if drawn through 
Silver, and all danger from Lead Poison or iron rust is thus 
avoided. So highly is this security valued,that its use is not 
confined to dwellings, but many humane persons make use 
of this pipe for conveying water to their cattle. The cost 
per loot Is about the same as lead pipe. In ordering, give 
head of water and bore of pipe.

PIATT’S “ASTRAL” 
®IL Will NOT EXPLODE. 
Read the following ;■ 
• ' New York, Dec. 3, 1869. 
Mil. Cn.vs. Pratt, 108 Fulton St., New York: 
Dear Sir -—I wish to add my testimony to the good quali- 
iliesof the “Astral” Oil, as seen in the following. A few 
nights ago at my residence in Clifton, N. J., the servant girl 
accidentally knocked over a lighted lamp filled with your 
“Astral” Oil. The lamp fell to the floor and was instantly 
broken, scattering the contents over the carpet. The wick, 
which was still burning, fell into the oil, but did not ignite it, 
and was picked up and blown out, without causing any dam¬ 
age, further than the loss of the lamp. I have been burning 
your “'Astral” Oil for a number of months, and am highly 
pleased with it. I consider it perfectly safe, and would use 
no other. 
YoursAyery truly, Charles D. Spencer, 
H. B. Clatiin & Co., 140 Church St., New York.
