IEART-RENDING CASE OP FAMILY AFFLICTION
AND DISTRESS.
"N
Advertisement was inserted in the Times and
Morning Herald of the Ist instant, detailing the state of
, ietion and suffering into which a family had been plunged by
disease and death, from which statement it appeared that in the
'Pane of a fortnight the parents had lost four children by malignant
sore throat and• fever. The father was then in the Fever Hospital,
Where he and another child have since expired within a few days of
other. Thus has the mother by one stroke from the hand of
providence been bereaved of her husband and five children, and the
youngest child is now attacked with this dreadful disease. She is
compelled again by the pressure of her destitute situation to appeal
'
the sympathy of the benevolent and humane for their assist-
tnee in this hour of overwhelming calamity. This statement will
e verified by J. Burnell, Esq., 131, High-street, Whitechapel ; and
t fr. G. Brooks, builder, 21, Queen-street, Golden-square. Messrs.
ti 41ankeyl, bankers, Fenehurch-street, and Messrs. Cocks, Biddulph,

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.

NOTWITHSTANDING the publicity for many
,p given to the superiority of BETTS'S PATENT
British
DISTILLED BRANDY over every other spirit,
Adritish or Foreign, it is yet but partially known : J. T. BETTS
Itind Co. therefore will • feel it a duty they owe to the Public and
..ernselves, to invite a comparison between the PATENT and the
French Brandy, until every Family in the kingdom, in which
'Brandy is consumed, have made trial of their PATENT BRANDY,
nd consequently discontinued the use of the foreign article.-
-their respective merits are fairly developed in the following Testi-
konials, to which they again beg to refer.
EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS.
• " Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent
katter, 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
brity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed ; and that your Patent
Lloirandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute 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
'el3rltains 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,
t..!1tl its agreeable similarity-in flavour to the finest samples of Cognac
'l3raudy, 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-
tPss upon the Public the fact that their only Establishment is the
istillerv, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, adjoining the Cattle Market,
Where the Patent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, of
the., highest legal strength, in quantities not less than two Gallons,
:Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, delivered free of ex-
P"se to any part of the Town, for Cash on delivery.
