Moulton's Patent Wooden Water-Tubing. The Purest, Cheapest,
and most desirable Water Conductor known. Warrented not to
burst by freezing and so constructed that it will stand a very great
pressure. It is made in two pieces, tongued and grooved each
side of water course, turned round, wound with copper Wire
sunk in grooves; the ends being capped the whole is boiled
in Coal Tar, connected with cast iron couplings, made to suit
any position. One length was taken out and is an exhibition,
after having lain in the ground nine years in dry gravel, two feet
two inches under ground, and found to be perfectly sound, and
was only painted with coal tar. Being only 5/8 inch thick, it
saturates with water which keeps it from decaying. Cost 50
to 100 percent less than lead or iron.
