SELTERS IV ATER (in England called Seltzer
Water).

DECLARATION OF THE NASSAU GOVERNMENT.

THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE DOMAINS OF HIS LIikdINESS TUE
DUKE OF NASSAU,
Declare, by these presents, that being desirous to prevent and put
a stop to the numerous falsifications committed in respect to the
Waters of Setters (in England called Seltzer Water), in the kingdom
of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, which have been
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 Selters (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, Schwa Mach,
and Weilbach, likewise the property of his Highness the Duke of
Nassau, they have resolved, from the Ist of January, 1845, to use
the Metallic Capsules of Mr. John Thomas Betts, of London, known
under the name of "BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE,"
as a top covering for all the bottles, both large and small, filled with
the said MintralWaters, 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,"
around.

The above named Bottles, capsuled in such a manner, will like-
wise hear, 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 H.N., and around 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 Capsulo3, 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 Weilbacti.
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.
Given at Wiesbaden, this 18th day of December, 1844.
The President of the Direc-
tion-General of the Ducal BARON DE BOCK HERMSDOIIFF.
Domains of Nassau.

HENRY HENDEL, Secretary.
The public will observe, by the above declaration, that these
Waters. protected and hermetically closed by the Patent Metallic
Capsules, may now be obtained in the same state of freshness and
perfection, Irrespective of time or temperature, as at the first mo-
ment when taken from the Springs, without the possibility of frau-
dulent substitution.

These Waters are imported in hampers containing four dozen
quart, or five dozen pint bottles at the rate of 10s. per dozen, and 2s.
the hamper for the former, and 7s. per dozen and is. 6d. the hamper
for the latter, bottles and hampers not returnable. And, as the sale
must inevitably extend to many thousand persons, Cash Payments
will be Indispensable ; on receipt of which hampers will be delivered
at the railway receiving houses ; and to any part of the metropolis,
exclusive of the railway stations, where carts are liable to detention.
IMr. Betts respectfully informs the public that, the first importa-
tion having arrived, orders will be received, addressed No. 1,
Wharf-road, City-road : and to prevent disappointment he begs
further to state that they will be executed consecutively, with refe-
rence to priority of date.
Special agents, from whom the smallest quantity may be obtained,
are in course of appointment, in town and country. And applica-
tions for agencies, from respectable persons, where appointments are
not already made, may obtain particulars by addressing letters post
paid, to No. 1, Wharf-road, City-road, London.

N:l3.—Deaiers in other mineral and effervescent fwaters will be
ineligible.
