ETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.—The ex-
alas b traordinary patronage with which this favourite beverage
, sen honoured by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by
27.etassesof the eommunity, since its introduction in 1829, affords,
et itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits.
T 0 this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that each
Receeding year has witnessed the birth and death of soma new
Brandy Establishment ; called into life by jealousy of the success of
the
Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure as a necessary
attnt.se;cluenee ; being totally unable to produce an article capable of
11.—aing a competition with it.
only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery,
ri •1, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the
patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, in quantities
i:tit leis than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gal-
' 1.6 r Cash on delivery.

Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R. S., President of the Royal Col-
lege of Surgeons, and Senior Surgeon to the Westminster
Hospital, &c.
(Litt fr. Solomon's Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford ad-
frunal aids to imperfect vision, and because of their superior
re

powers to glass or other dense materials, they promise to
new resources for the construction of Spectacles.
ANTHONY CARLISLE, F. R. S., Langham-place.
-frQui Robert Keate, Esq., Serjeant-Surgeon to her Majesty.
I Lave examined and have tried the Amber Lenses ; and they
INZar to me, so to modify and soften the glare of light as to
4'7e wreater comfort and relief to the eye than the Spectacles in
ic'nunon use.

it From the use I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing
with those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying
that, to my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less
to the Eye.
ERANSBY B. COOPER, 2, New-street, Spring-gardens.
Sin much pleased with Mr. E. Solomons' Amber Lenses, and
:4,-,,entleman who made trial of them for several days, says that
el relieve the Eye much more than any Glasses he has before
%ed.

MARTIN WARE, New Bridge-street.

I have examined the Amber Spectacles made by Mr. Solomons,
-'„_l34 I am of opinion that they are calculated to answer every pur-
pose for which they are intended—that they soften the light to
Tisk
and "irritable Eyes, and are likely to be useful to persons

J. COPLAND, M.D., F.R. S., Bulstrode-et., Manchester-sq.
rorii an examination of the Amber Lenses, I have every reason
nrPnclude that they possess many and decided advantages over the
'`rlaryGlass Spectacles.
J. T. CONQUEST, M.D., 13, Finsbury-square.
I have tried the Patent Spectacles of Mr. E. Solomons, which
Issess all the attributes of the best white and coloured Glasses and
:(I)bles, and are superior to them in magnifying power, lightness,
liokthe agreeable manner in which they serve to modify the rays of
", in their passage through them to the organs of vision.
