BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever manu factured in this country. Its claims to such pre-eminence are based upon its unrivalled purity, and its closer assimilation than any other to the flavour of the lineal Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the suc cessive failures in their vintages, the French wine-grower gets a higher price for his wine, consumed as such, than he can realise by its being distilled into Brandy; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent importations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the prestige hitherto ex clusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distilled from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it is bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine for distillation into Brandy having failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manufacture in which he needs the quarter of a century's experience which has been exercised upon that of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY. to render his article respectably competitive, and he has not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It is to the interest of the public and the Messrs. Betts that these facts should be widely spread, for recent importations are of a quality so inferior as to disgrace the same they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied in capsuled bottles by the trade to private famine- , in any quantity down to the sin g l e bottle.
