AVOID LEAD POISON.—LEAD ENCASED BLOCK
TIN PIPE.—This article has now been in use for the
past four years, and is dtiily growing in public favor, being
heartily indorsed bv ail the leading
chemistaand pbysiciansinthe country,
also tho Water Commissioners of New
York, Brooklyn, and Boston. Our ré¬
cent improvements in the manufacture
insures a most perfect article, which
cannot fail to be fully appreciated.
Tho advantages of lead pipe with a
peifectly pure block tin tinîng for
for the conveyance of water is well un¬
derstood; it gives the full pliability of the Lead with the
purenessof the Tin. The resistingpôwer of Bloclc Tin being
about flve times greater than Lead, we are enabled to fur¬
nish a pipe stronger than Lead, one-half its weight at
about the same cost per running foot, which insures a
perfectly safo water pipe for doinestic use. ' To furnish
cost per foot give the head or pressure of water and bore
of pipe,
