PRESERVES AND CONFECTIONERY.
The superiority of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, for Pre-
serves and Confectionery, is testified by the fact that it is preferred to
the
other spirit by the most extensive Wholesale Confectioners in
ins Metropolis ; for fortifying home-made wines it is invaluable ; as
an ordinary beverage it is congenial to the most delicate constitutions;
and, as a medical stimulant, it is peculiarly adapted to persons of
bilious or dyspeptic habits. Quantities of not less than Two Gallons,
SsPplied at the Distillery,7. Smithfield-bars, in Stone Jars, at Hs. per
Gallon, exclusive of the price of the Jar; and in Glass Bottles, at 20s.
Per Gallon, Bottles and Case included.
Consumers of Brandy are respectfully informed that J. T. BETTS,
"'a., and Co., will not be responsible for any Bottled Brandy that is
hot Protected against fraudulent substitution, by the Patent Metallic
'aPsules, made of pure and solid metal (not tin-foil), embossed with
the words " Betts's Patent Brandy, 7, Smithfield-bars," to which at-
tention is especially directed.
