made known to them on indisputable evidence, and wishing by every
means in their power to secure for the future to the consumers of the
Waters of Setters (Seltzer Water) in the kingdom of Great Britain,
its colonies, and dependencies, the enjoyment of the genuine Water
of that Spring, as also of the Springs of Fachingen, Schwalbach,

the said Mineral Waters, for Mr. John Thomas Betts, and intended
for the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies.
On these Capsules are to be impressed the Arms of Nassau, and
under the arms the name of the Water contained in the Bottle, with
the words " BETTS, IMPORTER," and " BETTS'S PATENT,"
aroand.
The above named Bottles, capsuled in such a manner, will like-
wise bear, as heretofore, the usual marks, consisting of a Shield, im-
pressed on the Bottle, containing the arms of Nassau, or a Crown,
under which are the initials and aroand the name of the Mine-
ral Water contained in the Bottle, and also the usual burnt mark on
the lower end of the cork.
The General Direction of the Domains further declare by these
presents, that they have granted to the said John Thomas Betts,
Patentee of the above described Capsules, and to no one else in the
Kingdom of Great Britain, its Colonies and Dependencies, the exclu-
sive right to purchase and export, direct from the Springs, the Waters
of Selters, Schwalbach, Fachingen, and Weilbach.
They declare further, that the Bottles, after being filled with the
respective Mineral Waters, are to be immediately, and in the pre-
sence of their officers, closed with the above earned Capsules.
This present declaration is granted to Mr. John Thomas Betts,
with authority to publish the same.
