171ETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since
its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific
men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this
c mutry. Its claims to such pre-eminence are based upon its unri-
valled purity, and its el.‘ser assimilation than any other to the
flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy.
There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the
preSent year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures
of their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his
wine. c3nsnmed as such, he can realise by its being distilled
into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor-
tations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the
prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having
been distille I from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is
no longer worthily assignable t it now that it is bunglingly made
from other materials. The supply of wine for distillation into Brandy
having failed, the French distller is constrained to recur to a manu-
facture in which he needs the quarter of a century's experience
which has been Exercised upon that of BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY, to render his article respectably competitive, and he has
not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge
that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad.
It Is ti the interest of the public and the Messrs. Betts that
these facts should be widely spr. ad, for recent importations are of
a quality so inferior as to di grace the name they bear, and are
twice the price of BE TTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied
by the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private families In any quan•
t:ty, down to the single bottle. Excise reguiations prevent its
sale rem the Distillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street, in
any less quantity than two gallons.
