BRETT'S BRANDY :—NOT PATENT !
T is long since we disclaimed all interest in the sale
of " Patent Brandy," from a conviction of the practicability
aid expediency of materially improving the composition of an article
Worthy of being adopted as a substitute for the genuine COGNAC;
While pat ties who adhere to the specification of a patent, however
Imperfect, are precluded from making the slightest improvement.
`-'llr success has exceeded our expectations ; it has equalled our
Wishes ; and we can appeal to the experience of several thousand
to the medical professioW, to connossieurs of every rank,
and to the most competent judges in the trade, for confirmation of
of this important fact—that while BRETT'S IMPROVED
BRANDY can never be detected as. a British production, it is es-
le/Wally more pure, stands the test of dilution, and is altogether
better adapted to medical and to general purposes than any spirit
hitherto submitted to public approbation. We are most solicitous
that our Brandy should rest upon its own intrinsic merits ; but as
extreme caution is necessary, to prevent its being confounded with
a very different article, we cannot tno earnestly recommend direct
ttplication to this establishment; where a single sealed bottle of the
IMPROVED BRANDY may be obtained (as a sample) for
n 6d., and whence an Imperial Gallon or upwards will be for-
Vzded, carriage free, at 18s. for in
to any market town in
'-ngland, if previously settled for in London.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
IV-
OTWITHSTANDING the publicity for many
past given to the superiority of BETTS'S PATENT
DRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY over every other Spirit,
British or Foreign, it is yet but partially known: J. T. BETTS
1d Co. therefore will feel it a duty they owe -to the Public and
,11_1
themselves, to invite a comparison between the PATENT and the
:Pile& Brandy, until every Family in the kingdom, in which
'"'"lndy is consumed, have madeArial of their PATENT BRANDY,
wand 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
utter. 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
„.rkody, is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in
vilutity, always contaminate the Foreign Spirit.
" JOSEPH HUME
L. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty."
Er, 1, do not hesitate to express my conviction that your Patent
410„-,k.1 fully as free from every thing injurious to health, and
-`IIIIIS 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
that constitute the peculiar value of the PATENT
tiR A
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-
dess upon the Public the fact that their only Establishment is the
istillery, 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,
it Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, delivered free of ex-
Pe se to any part of the Town, for Cash on delivery.
