TO BREWERS, MALTMSTILLERS. VINEGAR AND

CI DER MAKERS, &c. &c.
T SWAN, Professed Brewer, returns his sincere
efi • thanks to his Friends, the Brewers,' and the Public in
general, fur the very liberal encouragement he has already received,
and begs to call their particular attention to Lis new-invented
SACCHARO3IETER, 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 rein or tables, 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.
gists the corrosive matter so generally prevalent in all Saccharines,
thereby retaining its criginal weight : and does not require re-
adjusting so frequent. The instru.nent is also accompanied with a
comparative rule for reguisting the lengths in brewing, and for
showing the real 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 Comparison, of the old and new Imperial Mee-
sum, 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 uniformity 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 years'
eoutinued 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, and 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 extracting a larger quantity of saccha-
rine quality than is generally obtaioed from the goods, aWalso for
his system of preventing acidity in the hot months.
Experienced Brewers of Ate and Porter sent to any part of the
kingdom at a few weeks' notice.—For personal attendance 109
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 whHi is 50 guineas
—the purchaser being at all times entitled to correspond on the
subject.
J. Siren, to prove to the trade that the information he can give
them is of the first importance, assures them that he has in his
possession documents of approval from the first Brewers, Recti-
fiers, &c. in the kingdom, to the amount of 15,000, of their own
hand-writing, which may be seen, if required.
