LEGAL and other IMPORTANT DOCU- MENTS can be effectually protected from DAMP and VERMIN. - DAMP AND GASEOUS EXHALATIONS SANATORY MEASURES.

Members of Boards of Health are especially directed to the most effective means which they can adopt to prevent the injurious and often fatal effects upon the health of the community, arising from exhalations that are produced from moisture, decayed animal matter (as in graveyards), stagnant water, and collections of frttd refuse, tending to produce a miasmatic state of atmosphere. In situations so affected, the impervious quality of the ASPHALTE of SEYSSEL renders it the most perfect Pavement or Covering that can be relied upon for hermetically closing, and thereby preventing the rising of moisture and the escape of noxious vapours. The present extensive application of this material for covering roof, terrace., and arches, for preventing the percolation of wet, is strong evidence of its effectiveneness for the above

purposes. I. FARRELL, floe. Seyssel Aspbalte Company, Stangate, near Westminster Bridge, London.
