THE CHAMPION HORIZONTAL TUBULAR. BOILER. ( 
PATENT 
No. 9090. 
) 
WHICH IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST ALL-ROUND BOILER IN THE MARKET. 
It combines all the advantages of its class so well

OLD AND TOO OFTEN INEFFECTUAL WAY 
OF CAULKING THE JOINTS IS ENTIRELY 
DISPENSED WITH.

Generator. It has been carefully tested in every 
possible way, more especially with regard to power 
and durability, and the result has been highly 
satisfactory.

be replaced, an arrangement has been perfected 
whereby the same may be made in the course of a 
FEW MINUTES, without the necessity of dis¬ 
turbing the brickwork setting.

THE UNIVERSAL INSECTICIDE, 
SAFE-ECONOMICAL—EFFECTUAL, 
FOR 
GREEN and BLACK FLY. AMERICAN BLIGHT. RED 
SPIDER, CAMELLIA SCALE, MEALY BUG, BROWN 
and WHITE SCALE, WORMS, WOOD LICE, &c. 
“ 15, Princes Street, Edinburgh, 15th July, 1SS7. 
“Dear Sirs— I have thoroughly tested a sample of a new 
Insecticide which you were so good as to send me. At the 
rate of 1 oz. to a gallon of water at a temperature of 95° I find it 
kills Green-fly immediately. Double this strength, or 2 ozs. to 
gallon at 120°, seals the fate of Scale of all sorts in a few seconds ; 
while 3 ozs. to gallon at same temperature effectually dissolves 
Mealy Bug, and so far as I have yet observed, without the 
slightest injury to leaf or flower, and it is withal a most agree¬ 
able compound to work with. All our insect remedies are 
applied through common syringe or garden engine, a much 
severer test of efficiency than when applied by hand-washing or 
spray.

“Gentlemen —I have given your Insecticide, ‘ Picrena,’ a 
good trial in competition with many others. I am pleased to 
say that I have found it more effectual in destroying Mealy Bug 
and other insects than anything we have used. It ought to 
command a good sale. (Signed) “ B. S. WILLIAMS.”
