RETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since JJ its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever menu. fectured in this country. lie claims to such pre-eminence are based upon its unrivalled rutty, and its closer assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest 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, ami 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 • 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 imp(.rtations 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 lamilies in any quantity down to the single bottle. Excise regulations prevent its sale from the DISTILLERY, 7, SMITHFIELD BARS, ST. JOHN•STREET in any leas quantity than two gallons.

Much of the Pale Oil sold in the market is found to be nothing more than Skate Oil—a fact which will account for the failures which have so frequently attended the use of the so called Cod I.iver Oil. The utmost reliance may be placed upon the experimental researches of Dr. de Jongh, who is one of the most eminent of European chemists; the Oil procured by hint enjoys also the additional sanction of the opinion of Baron Liebeg and the late Dr. Pereira in favour of its genuinenesa and efficacy. Our own experience practically confirms their judg ment, and WE UNHESITATINGLY RECOMMEND DR.
