CHALLENGE TO THE FRENCH
DlSTlLLERS.—Extraordinary as it may appear to
persons favourable to the use of French Brandy, and enter-
taining prejudices against that of home manufacture, J. T.
BETTS and CO., with the most perfect confidence in the
superiority of their production, do hereby publicly challenge
the best manufacturers of Cognac, to produce an article of
equal purity, and possessed of the same wholesome properties,
as the PATENT BRANDY.

In flavour, it assimilates closely to the finest Cognac ; and
J. T, Betts and Co. could carry their similarity to a point to
render it nearly, if not perfectly, identical ; but, as such a fan-
cied advantage could be obtained only by imitating certain im-
purities existent in Foreign Brandies, from which their own is
entirely exempt, they are determined not to minister to a vitiated
taste, at the expense of the established purity of their Spirit.
Borne out by the Testimonials of many eminent Chemists,
by whom their Patent Brandy has been analyzed—by the sanc-
tion of the Faculty, who are constantly recommending its use
—by the assurance of innumerable families, of all ranks, who
find it more congenial to their health than the Foreign—by
their perfect willingness, at all times, that it should stand or
fall by its own intrinsic merits—and by their certain knowledge
that no part of their representation is overstated—J. T. Botts
and Co., fortified by all these circumstances, dare their conti-
nental neighbours to meet tham on that ground; a challenge
which they must either accept, or, by a refusal, tacitly admit
the superiority of the Patent Brandy.
The formation, from time to time, of ephemeral establish-
ments, by parties styling themselves Brandy Distillers, who re-
present their Brandy as equal or superior to the Patent ; and
the frauds continually practised by others in selling inferior
articles as Betts's Patent Brandy ; render it indispensably re-
quisite for the Patentees to impress upon consumers the abso-
lute necessity of satisfyinethernsolves that it is Betts's Patent
Brandy which they really. obtain. If purchasers would take
this simple precaution, the complaints frequently made of the
defective character of Home-made Brandy, would soon cease
to be heard.

The Patentees, as Distillers, cannot send out less than Two
Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, for
Cash on delivery, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of
the highest legal strength, at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-
bars, leading to St. John-street,—their only Establishment.

Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal

newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES, from some of the most
eminent members of the medical profession :
" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses; the astonishing
relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every othor kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
