OCTOBER BREWING OF SUPERIOR BRILLANCY IN COLOUR AND FLAVOUR. A SPINALL'S EAST INDIA PALE ALE AND BITTER ALE. This fine-flavoured and much-esteemed ALE, so largely in demand during the Christmas of 1851, Christmas 1852, and Christ mas 1853 and 1854, is again in fine condition for Christmas 1855 ; in Casks of 9, 18, and 36 Gallons—strong or mild. Orders should be sent early to the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead, or to the Liverpool Stores, Water-street, and Rumford-street, near the Exchange, Liverpool. Dr. Brett's Opinion of AspinalPs Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale, brewed at the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead. " "Laboratory, Royal Infirmary, Li ver p oo l , D ec., 1852. I have, at the request of Mr. H. K. Aspinall, of the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead, submitted to a careful chemical examina tion three descriptions of Beer, called respectively Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale. lam decidedly of opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no other ingredients than those found i n pure malt liquors. They have been very well fermented, and consequently do not contain any amount of unferme n t e d sugar , f requen tly found in some descriptions of Ale ; and being also free from any excess of mucila ginous matters capable of acting as ferments, they are remarkably bright, and retain that brightness to the last. Several medical friends of mine have expressed a very favourable opinion as re gards their quality. " R. H. BRETT, Ph. D., F.LS., "And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence." Dr. Sheridan Muspratt's opinion of Aspinall's Pale Ale and Preston Pans Beer: " Liverpool, Dec. 12th, 1854. "Dear Sir,—Having undertaken, at your request, a research upon your different Beers, videlicit—East India Pale Ale, Mild Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Preston Pans Beer, I feel happy in for warding you the annexed results. The sifting nature of the chemical examination to which your Malt Liquors have been subjected, establishes their incontestible purity ; they do not contain a particle of any injurious substance. 1 must confess I was not a little surprised to find that such excellent Beers were brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. It proves in a most satis factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection of the hest kind of Hops and Malt, and that you possess great scientific skill in conducting the several important stages through which these have to pass. I was very much struck with the India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bright, sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent tonic, and, I am sure, will be relished by all those seeking an agreeable and beneficial anodyne bitter, which tends to preserve the vigour of the stomach, and conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of the health of that organ, when debilitated. Your Preston Pans Beer is a very nice light beverage, having a peculiar but fine flavour, which must be greatly relished by many families. The East India Pale Ale and the Mild Pale Ale are like the above well fermented, and made from the best and most wholesome in gredients, therefore are sure to command popularity. In con cluding, I am glad to tell you that, having now tasted your Ales, I shall in future use them in my house, as they are fully equal to any I have analysed.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, " SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, F.R.S. "Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. "Professor of Chemistry." The demand for this fine-flavoured ALE is greatly on the in crease, Merchants, Bottlers, and Hotelkeepers finding it equal in flavour, colour, and quality to the finest Burton-brewed Ales, and at Pries very considerably less than any similar Ale now on the market. It is warranted to keep sound in Wood or Bottle for years, and never changes its brilliancy of colour. It improves by long keeping.

The following is a testimonial of a gentleman at Frodsham, in Cheshire accompanying an order for a further supply of Preston Pans Table Beer:— " Frodsham, Cheshire, March 31, 1851. "Sir,—Please to send me another quarter-barrel of Preston Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per B. L., and C. Railway, to Frodsh am. "The barrel which I have now on draught is giving every satisfaction, continuing quite sound and brisk, though it has now been more than six weeks on draught. I use a vent-peg, which closes of itself, with a spring, so that the beer cannot be left ex posed to the air through the carelessness of servants. " I suppose you do not require that empty caske should always be returned literally within three months, for this I could not always do, as a quarter-barrel 7,enerilly lasts from eight to ten weeks on draught, and I like to have it on the stillion for a couple of weeks before I begin to use it.

" Sir,—l beg to say, that I have shipped Beer supplied by you. in wood and bottle, for five years, to the East and West Indies, South America, and other markets, and that it has always given the greatest satisfaction to my friends abroad, invariably arriving ont in the best possible order and condition. My orders are to ship " Aspinall's Ale," and no other.—Yours moat obediently. "Mr. H. K. Aspinall, Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead." HENRY K. ASPINALL would call the attention of Private Fami lies to the prices and quality of his Pale Ales and Preston Pans Table Beer, Brewed and carefully prepared especially for Private the. - Extract from a letter from Adelaide, Australia. "Aspinall's Pale Ale is very mach approved of here, and brings high prices. It is largely consumed at our clubs and hotels." Extract from a letter from Constantinople.

It is very clear and fine flavoured." -- Aspinall's Pale Me and Preston Pans Table Beer will keep sound, brisk, and clear to the last, providing the vent peg is kept tight, and the cask carefully tilted, so as not to disturb the beer.

RAPID CURE OF COUGH & DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING. Hale, near Liverpool. Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I have received from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recommended to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay down a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have often thought I should not live to see the morning; but now I can sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken only two boxes of wafers. J. HAYNES. Witness, P. Roberta. 4, Ranelagh-street. ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH. Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liverpool. Gentlemen.—l have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assidious attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendation of a frießd, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN. ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS. Parliament-street, Liverpool. Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extraor dinary powers of Locock's Wafers. I bad been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large box (28. 9d.) has quite cured me. I ' have since recommended them to several of my friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from them. I remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS. IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING. From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington. Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re sort to them, for the extrordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Havinz felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE. To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

A leading advantage of becoming Subscribers for the year 1856 will be the securing the delivery of several MAGNIFICENT SUPPLEMENTS, WORKED IN COLOURS, which can be ensured only to the regular Subscribers to the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. These Coloured Supplements will bear comparison with the finest Water Colour Drawings of our most eminent Masters, and can only he produced by a very large extra outlay. The issue of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS during the year 1855 may be confidently referred to, as affording proof of what it is possible to accomplish where the resources are ample. And it is due to acknowledge that the liberality of the Proprietors has met with a response from the Public, unparalleled in the history of Journalism. The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS is now the most extensively circulating Journal in the world; its present weekly issue is nearly TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES, and that issue still on the increase. This signal triumph of British enterprise and industry, of genius and art combined, could only have been accomplished by the command of unusual resources, and by the employment of new and greatly improved Machinery to keep pace with the requirements of the Public. The Proprietors are determined that—so far as they are con cerned—the issue of the year 1856 shall secure increased popu larity to the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. This will be effected by improvements in the Printing; by the increased excellence of the Paper; by the additional value of the Engravings ' • by new and eminent literary co n t r ib u ti ons; an d l as t, no t l eas t, by the Splendid Coloured Supplements. The whole rendering it the Leading Journal of the World.
