DR. GLOVER TO MR. ALLSOPP.

" Newcastle-on-Tyne, April 11.
was not my intention, in writing the hasty note to
wnLancet,' to cast any reflections upon, or to implicate in any
nraY, respectable brewers of pale ale.
When I first saw the statement about the alleged use of strych-
"nue in bittering ale, I looked upon the assertion as incredible, both
account of the
price of the drug and the symptoms it would
create,_n ; but on experiment, I found that strychnine possesses such
ar,to derful bitterness, that it might perhaps be used as AN ADJUVANT
leastto by UNPRINCIPLED PERSONS. In short, my object was simply
show that the thing was not altogether so ,impossible as It ap-
veared at first sight to be.
pi), 78,Y Opinion is, that hops should not enjoy the exclusive privilege
used for bit not beer; but I do not pretend to discuss tho
point with practical men.
I know there are bitters which might be used beneficially, in a
medical Point of view.
fai' With regard to analysing your beer, my time is taken up, so
t: an
alYsing and chemistry are concerned, with two kinds of in-
tes—lst,, those which are purely scientific ; and 2d, those which
e profitable. and Ifyou wish me, in the latter capacity, to analyse
report on your beer, I, of course, can have no objection.
Ihave to prepare for an absence of three or four days to-morrow,
.
beg you to excuse me replying to the letter of Mr. liottinger,
Or
am much obliged.

I—'eet.' However, I shall be at home on Thursday evening, and
11,_ost assuredly I have no desire to say anything which could weaken
Ble confidence of the public in your beer. But that I am not now
In the habit of drinking Bitter Beer, I should be glad to show my
confidence by drinking plenty of it."
'4rMessrs. ALLSOPP and SONS beg to refer to the letter of Mr.
diXcitalYScieALnLeSoo,,PP on this subject, in the " Monthly Journal of
it 111 said
for October, in the concluding paragraph of which
I inserted Dr. Gliver's good-natured remark on my Bitter Beer
incidental testimonial'—no more. I never called it a cer-
"ate,' nor did I apply to him, or any other medical gentleman, for
une• I one not respopsible that such a construction has been placed
2011 the off-hand expressions of good opinion which have been sent
to me from all quarters."
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS, in conclusion, wish to draw the
attention of the public and the trade to the fact, that, by this dis-
ingenuous system of attack and the perversions of facts gratul-
toUsly adapted, they are unwillingly drawn into that publicity the
Courting of which is made an accusation against them.
