Taylor. 5 Raymond's Buildings, Gray's Inn, London, W.C.: December 7,1881. Dear Sir,—Having been informed that you are exhibiting your apparatus for the cure of smoky chimneys, I beg to add this testimonial to the efficacy of the same. For years I suffered the most intolerable nuisance through the smoking of the fire-places at my offices as above, but it is now ten years since your apparatus was fixed, resulting in the permanent cure ever since. The draught of air through your apparatus has always caused a cheerful clear fire to burn, and as I understand on very good authority, a current of pure heated air is thus diffused through the rooms. I have also had it applied by you to private houses of my own with like perfect success. The apparatus have, moreover, never required anything whatever being done to them, and they are as good as when first fixed, and I consequently have much pleasure in testifying to these agreeable facts. Yours truly, JOHN P. PONCIONE, Juu. rj-i ~pq~ p~i SANITARY RECORD, A Monthly Journal of Public Health and the Progress of Sanitary Science, is published ON THE 15th OF EACH MONTH, And is sent free by post to any part of Europe or the United States and Canada for the sum of TEN SHILLINGS 1*1^1 i ^TVTVXJM Paid in advance, from any date, to a corresponding one in the following year.
