HUBBUCK'S PATENT WHITE ZINC PAINT is the most durable and '' beautiful paint known, does not stain or digcolour with the atmosphere of large towns, and by their process, which is patented, ia cheaper tnan White Lead. It is especially adapted for painting iron, as, by virtue of a _ semi-galvanic action, it enters the pores and forms amalgam of the two metals, which protects the Iron from decay or incrustation. It D should be used instead of Red Lead, which is proved to be destructive to Iron exposed to rrr Salt Water. ADULTERATIONS. —Some Paint Grinders have been selling Zinc Paint adulterated with Sulphate of Barytes, in • proportions varying from ten to thirty per — cent. No workman can produce good work with such material. Those who have obtained the Patent White Zinc Paint from grinders whe have not adulterated it, will never jfr willingly use any other Paint for their best ° work. Each Cask of Pure White Zinc is stamped — "Hubbuck, London, Patent." Thomas Hubbuck and son, White Lead, 3, Oil, Paint, and Vabnish Works, 24 Lime Street. " For public schools, and all rooms occupied by children there will now be no excuse for using poisonous paints. Parents f have remarked that their children on returning from the country to newly-painted houses have suffered in health. The reason is evident — the breath extracts the insidious poison from paint, and the lungs draw in 03 the deadly vapour."
