CIDER MAKERS, lk.r.
T SWAN, Professed Brewer, returns his sincere
ILI • thanks to his Friends, the Brewers, and the Public in
general, for the very liberal encouragement he has already received,
and begs to call their particular attention to his ncw-invented
SACCIIAROMETER, which is so simple in its application,
that it has but one weight, and that only. required at a very high
degree of strength, without the aid of either rules or tal;lea, the
practical use of which may be attained in one minute. It is con-
structed on true scientific principles, combining simplicity with
accuracy and despatch ; and being strongly overlaid with gold, re-
sists the corrosive matter so generally prevalent in all Saccharine.,
thereby retaining its original weight: and does not require re-'
adjustingso frequent. The instrument is also accompanied with a
comparative rule for regulating the lengths in brewing, and for
showing the rail value of malt, to Id. per quarter :—thus rendering
it superior to any other yet invented, and which will enable the
Brewer to produce Ale and Beer of the same strength and quality
at all times, without variation. There are likewise annexed, Tables
of Expansion and Gomparison, of theold and new Imperial Mea-
sures, and other Tables of the greatest importance to the Brewer
may be had, which, by being attended to, will ensure an unerring
process of fermentation, which alone can produce unifornthy of
transparency and flavour, and therefore will prove of the greatest
advantage to the Brewer, and is of itself sufficient to insure its
universal adoption.
J. Swan feels that confidence which is the result of many Team'
continued practice in the art of Brewing, during which period he
has taught some of the first Brewers in the kingdom, while on a
tour of upwards of 70,000 miles in extent, arid from whom he
possesses written documents of their decided approbation of his
competent and extensive knowledge in this art, particularly as to
his admirable discovery of exuac;ing &larger quantity of saccha-
rine quality than is generally obtained from the goods, as also tor
his system of preventing acidity in the hot months.
Experienced Brewers of Aie and Porter sent to any part of the
kingdom at a few weeks' notice.—For personal attendance 100
guineas, and all reasonable expenses.
J. Swan has much simplified the whole process of Brewing, and
brought it to one invariable result, which is fully explained in the
whole of his Tables and Journals, the price of which is tie oun ineas
--the purchaser being at all times entitled to correspon3 on the

subject.
J. Swan, to prove to the trade that the information he can give
them is of the first imrortance, assures them that he has in his
possession documents of approval from the first Brewers, Reed-
/1471, &c. in the kingdom, to the amount of 15,000, of their own
hand-writing, which may be seen, if rtquired.

a brass plate, engraved ••• J. Swan" on the lid, and is made only by
