NEAL, Register. w3w3 EXPLOSIONS. Philadelphia, Dec. 24, 1873. I SELDOM, if ever, pick up a newspaper without seeing, among the first Items that arrest my at tention, the record of a terrible boiler explosion. Very many causes are assigned for this loss of life and property. A great deal is said as to what should be done and what should not be done. But I scarce ly ever hear it said that these explosions are due to an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler, and yet eight out of ten instanc s that occur in our midst are un doubtedly due to tbis cause. Now, permit me to say that I manufacture a Com position that will readily and thoroughly remove this incrustation; and while I am constantly sending it over the United States, I exact no pay for its use un less it gives perfect satisfaction ana fulfils all the claims I make for it. My preparation will remove Scale from any Boiler, no matter how deep may be the iccrusation, and at the same time it will prevent injury to the Boiler from anything which may be held in solution by the water contained in it. This article will absolutely prevent the formation of Scale if timely introduced. The powder which I manufacture has been care fully tested by some of the ablest chemists in the oountr;, and itB fitness to keep iron clean and to preserve it has been demonstrated by them in the most satisfactory manner. If you will send for my circular,with my terms and full particulars, or give me a call, I think I will be able to convince the most sceptical that this compo sition will justifv all I claim for it.
