THE "SILENT FLUSHER" / : : ' . THE LATEST IMPROVED METHOD OF FLUSHING WATER CLOSETS. ENDORSED BY LEADING ARCHITECTS, SANITARY ENGINEERS, BUILDERS AND PLUMBERS. ■ ■ ' '• ■ ; '■— ,•' \ All persons Interested in Improved sanitary science and hygienic drainage ''; are urged to Investigate the merits of the SILENT FLUSHER. Just as the t...teSfe) . - ■ 0X- : : ■ present system of flushing water closets by an overhead cistern is Incomparably iSHI n| J| f:J ' , ' vSI , Itp, better than the antiquated plug arrangement, so the Silent Flusher is infinitely op||||||| I fj ' superior to the cistern and syphon method generally adopted. The Silent Flusher I r ' '' is the most sanitary, most economical, and altogether the most desirable system j | | ffvlj' of flushing ever conceived. .It is ABSOLUTELY NOISELESS, and perfectly [lH I | j h l| satisfactory in every detail, and will undoubtedly replace the present defective \ : I system, which has had its day. ' .Mi!Covernmentj municipal, and hospital authorities, hotel proprietors, and / 1 ' ? ■ property owners generally will, find It to their interest to examine the Silent I : Q Flusher. Its excellent qualities are so patent that even a cursory inspection T"" j l[ will prove its inestimable value. % I. . :;: ;; ■ I THE "SILENT FLUSHER" has been in- I .
