Anti-Fyric Paint. 
FIRE, WATER, AND WEATHER PROOF. 
r piIIS Paint, manufactured by “ The New-York Anti-Pyric Paint 
A Company,” is a new species. It is composed of materials en¬ 
tirely fire proof, being scarcely destructible by the blow pipe. It 
forms a coating impervious to air and moisture, and is completely 
fire-proof from all the ordinary causes of FIRE, whether Sparks, 
Cinders, or Heat from a neighboring building in flames. 
It is especially adapted for the following uses:—To protect 
Roofs from Fire and Leaking, 
Wood of all Kinds from Decay, 
Tint from Rust, Iron Work, 4*c., #e. 
And it. will effectually accomplish it by being properly applied. 
It is also the best Paint for the Walls of Brick Buildings, giving 
them the appearance and solidity of stone, and saving the necessity 
of using sand, which is annoying, and will last but a short time. Be¬ 
sides this, it NEVER PEELS OFF. See Certificate from Profes¬ 
sor Reid. 
Persons desirous of trying this Paint, are requested to call at the 
office of the subscriber, who keeps it constantly on hand for sale, and 
where every information will be given.

CERTIFICATE. 
N. Y. Hospital , Dec. 8, 1849. 
I have made an experimental investigation into the properties of a 
paint prepared by the N. Y. Anti-pyric Faint Company, named An¬ 
ti-Pyric Paint. Being acquainted with its composition, I would 
state, that it is of an incombustible nature ; and from the dense and 
adhesive qualities it is prepared of, that it is eminently protective 
against the action of the atmosphere, and will have the effect of pre¬ 
serving wood and other surfaces on which it may be spread, from 
decay. With regard to its Anti-Pyric qualities, I would say, from 
the experiments 1 have made, that there is no probability of shingles 
and other wooden surfaces painted with it, taking fire from showers 
of ashes and cinders, one of the principal causes of the disastrous 
character of our fires. I "consider that the “New-York Anti-Pyric 
Paint Company,” has brought forward a valuable and useful im¬ 
provement in a necessary article, and that it deserves the considera¬ 
tion of the public, as a safeguard against fires, and the earnest atten¬ 
tion of the Insurance Companies, as greatly lessening their risks.
