WATER POISONED BY LEADEN PIPES. "The above engraving represents accurately a section of a leaden pipe, which was employed for a short time in conveying water from a well on the grounds of Mr. DICK, of Bonchurch, Isle of Wight. The original section of pipe is 8 in. long, 24 in. diameter, and 5-16 in. thick. A great part of the internal surface is corroded by the action of the water; but, as shown in the drawing, four deep excavations have been made, and another is shaded out of view by the manner in which the section of the pipe has been cut. The water has cut these deep pits almost through the pipe, and not only upon the portion which we have illustrated, but has formed similar chasms throughout the entire length."-EXPOSITOR. DURABILITY OF GUTTA PERCHA TUBING. Many inquiries having been made as to the durability of Gutta Percha Tubing, the Gutta Percha Company have pleasure in giving publicity to the following Letters, from parties who have had it in use for a considerable length of time :— From SIR RAYMOND JARVIS, Ventnor, Isle of Wight. (SECOND TESTIMONIAL.) March 10th, 1852. "In reply to your letter received this morning, respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for pump service, I can state, with much satisfaction, it answers perfectly. Many builders and other persons have lately examined it, and there is not the least apparent difference since the first laying down, now several years; and I am informed that it is to be adopted generally in the houses that are being erected here." From C. HACKER, Esq., Surveyor to His Grace the Duke of Bedford, Woburn Park. (SECOND TESTIMONIAL.) Office of Works, Woburn Park, Jan. 10th, 1852. "GENTLEMEN,—In answer to your inquiries respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for Pump Suctions, I find that the water has not affected it in the least, although it will eat lead through in two years; we have adopted it largely, being cheaper than lead, much easier fixed, and a more perfect job."

Unlike the action of many other Disinfectants, it destroys all noxious smells, and is itself scentless. The manufacturer, having destroyed a monopoly fostered by the false assumption of the title of a patent, has to warn the public against all spurious imitations. Each bottle of Crews's Disinfecting Fluid contains a densely concentrated solution of Chloride of Zinc, which may be diluted for use with 200 times its bulk of water.
