in the Patent Office, at Washington, i take great
pleasure in presenting it to the public. The pro-
cess consists of an Engine and Chemical Compound
by which a deadly gas is generated, and Torced
into the recesses of the enemy. i warrant it to be
effectual—no humbug*—and to be entirely free from
any deleterious influence npon the health of the
operator. The engine weighs about 50 lbs., is
easy of construction, is portable, and can be made
by a cabinet maker or carpenter anywhere. The
chemical compound can b  bad at my store in this
place in any quantity needed. For testimonials
