The fri ends of this Charity earnestly and respectfully solicit the

Ibeen established two years, during which period it has afforded
relief to upwards of two hundred patients (the greater part of whom
''ad failed to obtain a cure at other institutions,) has become ne-
,lsarily closed for the want of funds. Under these circumstances
4nts appeal is confidently made to the charitable and affluent.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
INOTWITHSTANDING the publicity for many
ENCHt
given to the superiority of BETTS'S PATENT
DISTILLED BRANDY over every other Spirit,
British or Foreign, it is yet but partially known: J. T. BETTS
themselves,
Co. therefore will feel it a duty they owe to the Public and
to invite a comparison between the PATENT and the
trench Brandy, until every Family in the kingdom, in which
randy is consumed, have made trial of their PATENT BRANDY,
j-and consequently discontinued the use of the foreign article.—
Their respective merits are fairly developed in the following Testi-
monials, to which they again beg to refer.
EXTRACTS FROAI TESTIMONIALS.
" Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringeut
matter, which exists, more or less, in most of the Brandies im-
ported from France.
" JOHN THOMAS COOPER,
" To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry."
" I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that, for
brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minatc in
quantity, always contaminate the Foreign Spirit.
" JOSEPH HUME

" J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty."
" I do not hesitate to express my conviction that your Patent
Brandy is fully as free from every thing injurious to health, and
contains as pure a spirit, as the best varieties of Foreign Brandy.
" EDWARD TURNER.

" Professor of Chemistry in the
University of London."

_
" John T. Betts, Esq."
It is this perfect freedom from the above objectionable qualities,
and its agreeable similarity in flavour to the finest samples of Cognac
Brandy, that constitute the peculiar value of the PATENT
BRANDY.
To prevent imposition, J. T. BETTS and Co. fell it important
to observe that Brandy is the only article they sell, and also to im-
press upon the Public the fact that their only Establishment is the
Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, adjoining the Cattle Market,
N't,he,re. the Patent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, of
r_tnghest legal strength, in quantities not less than two Gallons,
zighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, delivered free of ex,
