IVon-Explosive Kerosene Eamp. 
Prof. W. S. Clark, President Mass. Agrieu Rural Col¬ 
lege, says: I believe it true economy, consi dering the 
safety,the quality and quantity of the light,and 
the (lur ability of this Lamp, to throw 
away all other kinds, and use 
only this. First, Bei n g 
of brass it will not break when thrown upon the 
floor.andit is so constructed that it is perf ectly non¬ 
explosive, and the oil will not escape evenwhen 
tlie lamp is turned bottom up. Thus it is safe. 
Second. The peculiar constructio ngivcsa 
long, na rrow fine, or chimney mostfa- 
vorable to perfect combustion & steadi¬ 
ness of flame. Hence the light is pure, 
white, and uniform ; better than is pro duced by 
any other lamp with which I am acgua inted. It is 
invaluable to those who are compelled to read, write, 
or sew in the evening. Third. It is du ruble, easily 
kept in or del-, and not so apt to run over as or¬ 
dinary lam ps. Hundreds of lives are lost, thous¬ 
ands of per sons fearfully burned, and millions of 
prop e r ty consumed annually by casual ties of this 
sort, nine- tenths of which would be pre vented by 
tlie exclusi ve use of good Kerosene in this Safety 
L a m n . Tlte American Agricultur ist , says : 
Almost all tlte kerosene sold in New- 
York is unsafe, and some of it emi¬ 
nently so. The wonder is that so few accidents happen. 
Good Canvassers wanted for city and country. One can¬ 
vasser cleared $72 tlie first two days. 
Try a Lamp ; we will gladly return the money, if you do 
not like it. Address

PRATT’S 
ASTRAL 
OIL. 
"The American Agriculturist," Dec., 1869, says: "One 
of our associates had a glass wall-lamp, filled witli oil, fall 
from its fastenings last week. It broke, and the oil, with the 
burning wick in it, spread over the floor; but no burning of 
the oil occurred beyond tlie wick. He would not use any 
other oil now if this cost $5 a gallon—nor would we.” 
Ask your grocer or druggist for Pratt's Astral Oil, and if 
they do not have it, address
