The indisputable Testimonials given by men of the first talent and
and experience in the kingdom, as to the perfect reliance that may
be placed upon KYAN'S PROCESS of PREPARING TIM-
BER to resist the effect of DRY ROT and other decay, are so
enterely satisfactory as to require no further remark.
The efficacy of the Process is sufficiently established by the
Evidence contained in the Report to.the Lords of the Admiralty,
and subsequently presented to, and printed by, the House of Com-
mons; and likewise by the adoption of it by his Majesty's Govern-
ment in Portsmouth Dock Yard.
Extracts from Minutes of Evidence reported by the Commissioners
appointed by the Admiralty, and presented to the House :of
Commons, July 9, 1835.
Sir R. Smirke.—" This Preparation of Mr. Kyan's resists all
rot." " I cannot rot it," added Sir R. Smirke.
Professor Faraday.—" These reasons, combined with a close ex-
amination of specimens shown him, make him strongly re-
commend it ; and he would be quite willing, if there were occasion,
to trust a good deal of property upon it."
Sir Juhn May.—" In regard to the Canvass, four prepared
pieces were not affected with mildew ; three unprepared pieces
were affected with it, and one of them was quite rotten."
By the use of this process British American Timber will be ren-
dered equally as valuable as Timber from the Baltic ; and thus the
produce of British Colonies will be encouraged in preference to
timber of foreign growth.
It is found that timber cut down while in a state of active vege-
tation, with the leaf growing, becomes, by the application of this
process, immediately fit for use—thus rendering every species of
domestic timber of the same value and as available as 'the best
foreign, for all purposes incidental to farming and husbandry ; and,
by the use of the most common woods, economy will be combined
with durability, and the agricultural interest will derive incalcula-
ble advantages.
These facts having been proved in the most satisfactory manner,
it is proposed that a Company be formed, under a License from the
Patentees, the consideration for which has been agreed upon, and
the above Gentlemen have been named to carry that object
into effect. ,

CAUTION.
WHEREAS many persons, both in London and
throughout the country, have announced for sale certain
Spirits which they call Brandy, and to which they have attached
the term " PATENT," without having any just or legal right
or title so to do :—and, whereas the only Brandy in England
which is secured by Patent Right, is that reads by ourselves ; and
the illegal use of the term " PATENT" by others, and the
frequent substitution of spurious and inferior articles for the
Genuine Patent Brandy, tend grossly to deceive the Public, and
to raise prejudices highly injurious to our interest ;—and finding
that such fraudulent proceedings could not be sufficiently checked
by the Caveats entered by us at the Patent Office, which confer-
red the right of Patent, and by virtue of which our Brandy was
designated as " BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED
BRANDY," we have been induced, for the more effectual protec-
tion of the public and ourselves, to take out his Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent : —and
We do hereby give Public Notice,
That all persons who may sell any Brandy to which they shall, in
any manner, apply " the word Patent,' the words ' Letters
Patent,' or the words By the King's Patent,' or any words of the
like kind, moaning, or import," the said Brandy " not having been
purchased from us," or for the sale of which they have not " our
licence or consent in writing," will, without further notice, be pro-
ceeded against for the recovery of the Penalties thereby incurred.
