ALLSOPP'S PALE OR BITTER ALE.
THE unanimous opinion of the most eminent
scientific and medical men of the day, of Baron Liebig,
Messrs. Graham, Hofmann, Musprate,Watson, Budd, Marshall, Hall,
Travers, Fergusson, Rowe, Via ian, Heygate, Leman, Arnold, Evans,
Formby, Petrie, Macrorie, Vose, Tufnell, Hunter, Davies, Jones,
Senior, Maciaren, Macaulay, Gray, Teevan, Hill, Hayward, Harri-
son, Pepper, Inman, Sir Charles Clarke, the Sanatory Commissioner
of "The Lancet," &c. &c. &c. (many of them after careful analyses,
and all of them after long experience,) having been pronounced in
favour of the healthful and invigorating qualities, as well as the
highly dietetic properties of their Yale and Bitter Ales, Messrs.
Allsopp have little more to do than to place, once for all, the
public, in a brief form, the accredited results of dm late invoiatbeforegatious
and recorded experience of those indisputable authorities.
Messrs. .Al,sopp and Son's Pale or Bitter Ales have been thus un-
quearionably vouched to be a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a
general beverage both for the invalid and the robust and as tend-
ing, from the pare and wholesome nature of the ingredients em-
ployed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very
considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hops
alone, which they contain, to preserve the tone and vigour of the
stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a
state of weakness, debility, or irritability."
In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the de-
sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence
by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fermentation is
conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than
the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not
occasion that acidity of stomach created by tke less perfectly fer-
mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara-
tions of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter,
thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of
digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a %Vine of
Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa-
tisf .ctory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en-
tirely free from every kind of impurity."
Fortified by such opinions, expressed in the above terms, verbatim,
by the most eminent authorities, Messrs Allsop and Sons do not feel
themselves called upon to go into any further vindication of their
justly popular beverage, from the aspersions of malicious and inte-
rested parties ; but content themselves by announcing that they have
commenced supplies from the Brewing of this Season.
ALLSOPP'S PALE or BITTER ALE may be obtained in Casks
of 18 Gallons and upwards from the Brewery, Burton-on-Trent;
and from the undermentioned Branch Establishments:—
LONDON, at 61, King William-street, City;

At either of which places r. list of respectable parties who supply the
Beer in Bottles (and also in Casks at the seine prices as from the
Brewery), may at any time be s en.
