These Stains have been _Largely_ and _Successfully_ used during the past few seasons. Owing to the strange PRESERVATIVE POWER of the Creosote, wood treated with this Stain _cannot decay_ but simply wears away from the force of the weather. The Stain in weathering does not become shabby like paint; but the surfaces assume weather beaten grays, very _soft_ and _harmonious_, and varying slightly according to the original hue. The Stain may be renewed at any time with _little trouble_ or expense, as the natural hues which nature gives in combination with the stain are allowed to stay. Houses treated with these Stains may be seen at almost any of the _seaside_ and _suburban_ resorts of NEW ENGLAND, and on the NEW JERSEY and LONG ISLAND COASTS. FOR ARTISTIC COLORING EFFECTS THEY ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO PAINT, WHILE THEIR PRESERVATIVE POWER MAKES THEM DOUBLY VALUABLE.

SPRING HOUSE _AND Bottling Establishment_ SO. EASTON, MASS. [Illustration: Map] This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the _STOMACH_, _LIVER_, _KIDNEYS_ and _BLADDER_. A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC. PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health. [NOTE.--This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof. Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society, Jan. 12, 1884.] _PARTS IN 1,000,000_ Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06 The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches. The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial. Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885.
