ItETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.—The ex-
traordinary patronage with which this favourite beverage
seen honoured by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by
:.classesof the community, since its introduction in 1829, affords,
of itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits.
To this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that each
11 ,ceding year has witnessed the birth and death of some new
dy Establishment • called into life by jealousy of the success of
Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure as a necessary
.4equence ; being totally unable to produce an article capable of
ning a competition with it.
