A new and desirable article which has long been needed to take the place of the common cork for Champagne, Porter, Ale, Cider, &c., afrer the original cork is drawn. They revent any loss of fixed air and keep the liquor in the same state as when first opened. It being air-tight, it is the only article suitable for Acids, Ages Ammonia, Smelling Salts, [ndel- ible Ink, and a great variety of articles which are more or less volatile, and which destroy the com- mon cork, but have no effect upon the Rubber The Rubber Stopp-r will not chip or break off as the common cork is liable to, making it neces- sary to dig outthe part left in the neck of the bottle or phial. its toughness and tenacity obvi- ates this objection to the common cork. They are prepared with the purest articles, im- parting no smell or taste to the most delicate preparation, and may be relied upon by all Phy- Sicians and Surgeons. - On the score of economy, it will take the place of all other corks and s‘oppers, as quantities of liquors of all kinds and medicines are obliged to be thrown away, having become stale and worth- less, for the want of being tightly corked. They are also a perfect substitute for ground glass stop- pers for druggists’ bottles and phials, which often stick and are difficult to get out They are put upa dozen in a box of diiferent sizes expressly for families, so that when any bottle of liquid is opened, the Rubber cof should be used. They can be put up differently, assorted for Wine ak Li ee ‘Staves, Beer Bottlers, Hotels, Club Rooms, Bar-rooms, &c., &c., of such sizes and quantities as may be wanted.
