The friends of this Charity earnestly and respectfully solicit the
support of the public on its behalf. This Infirmary, after having
been established two years, during which period it has afforded
relief to upwards of two hundred patients (the greater part of whom
bad failed to obtain a cure at other institutions,) has become ne-
cessarily closed for the want of funds. Under these circumstances
this appeal is confidently made to the charitable and affluent.
Subscriptions and Donations thankfully received by the Trea-
surer, Honorary Secretary, and Surgeon.

HEART-RENDING CASE OF FAMILY AFFLICTION
AND DISTRESS.
AN Advertisement was inserted in the Times and
Morniag Herald of the Ist instant, detailing the state of
affliction and suffering into which a family had been plunged by
disease and death, from which statement it appeared that in the
space of a fortnight the parents had lost four children by malignant
sore throat and fever. The father was then iu the Fever Hospital,
where he and another child have since expired within a few days of
each other. Thus has the mother by one stroke from the hand of
Providence been bereaved of her husband and five children, and the
youngeat child is now attacked with this dreadful disease., She is
compelled again by the pressure of hor destitute situation to appea.
to the sympathy of the benevolent and humane for their assist-
ance in this hour of overwhelming calamity. This statement will
be verified byJ. Burnell, Esq., 131, High-street, Whiteehapel ; and
Mr. G. Brooks, builder, 21, Queen-street, Golden-square. Messrs.
Hankeys, bankers, Fenchurch-street, and Messrs. Cocks, Biddulph,

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
NOTWITHSTANDING the publicity for many
past given to the superiority of BETTS'S PATENT
FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY over every other Sp_irit,
British or Foreign, it is yet but partially known : J. T. BETTS
and C. therefore will feel it a duty they owe to the Public and
themselves, to invite a comparison between the PATENT and the
Prench Brandy, until every Family in the kingdom, in which
Brandy is consumed, have made trial of their PATENT BRANDY,
--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 FROM TESTIMONIALS.
ti
Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent
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
purity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed ; and that your Patent
Branily is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in
'quantity, always eontaminate the Foreign Spirit.
" JOSEPH HUME

" J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty."
-" I do not hesitate to express ray conviction that your Patent
traody is fully as free from every thing injurious to health, and
sontains 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
tRANDY.
To prevent imposition, J. T. BETTS and Co. fell it important
to observe that Brandy is the only article they sell, and also to
irn-
rem; upon the Public the fact that their only Establishment is the
Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, adjoining the Cattle Market,
*here the Patent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, of
the highest legal strength, in quantities not less than two Gallons,
At Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, delivered free of ex.
Peose to any part of the Town, for Cash on delivery.
