------ --SODA WATER,

ROITORSEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the JErated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re-
cOnrse to arty trickS. In the present day some persone.
consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery
in order to extend the sale of their own productions by
detracting from the merits of rival establishments.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe-
riority of their own soda-water end lemonade, founded
on the recommendation of the most eminent of the
faculty, on the results .of the 'most searching chemical
analyses, and- the extensive and still increasing demand
thatfoi' thtehmeybyhathvee phaibthlite,v,toleittlrie

of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are
561 to he obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanntioe6 that
may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and
S. have placed the name of Schweppo upon their bottles,
anttion s
it was never to mislead the public as to oeuneeion with
that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitirruilf
fact, and always subordinate to their our.. Without im-
puting undue credit to the, name of Schweppe, they hare
ellen:), stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
and Coe—nn undoubted fact, or doubtless it would heve
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
period that the waters sold by Schweppe alive to that
name an the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. !Nunn:ere
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters saki
by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is
many years since any person, having the slightest
connexion with the name or family of the late Mr.
Sehweppe, has been connected with any house in the
trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi-
ness carried on under the • name of Schweppe an Co.
sold his interest to persons
.with . whom R. and S.
declined to remain : they preferred employing their • in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a hasinose
for their own mutual profit. 'Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and CO.
retain the quality which acquired for that house all its
celebrity, It. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in
justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma-
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear
their mine (expensive an item as bottles are), and
J cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their men, however celebrated, to which lioughsedge-and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUCHSEDGE and St' metens only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from the .'rated Waters produced
at their 'own manilfitetny, and sold under the labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN,
SIR,—I think it a duty I owe to the public to mulct.
known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with acci-
dentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit
to myself. Some months ago I -met with a very severe
accident, having dislocated and fractured my ankle
severely. From the great tenderness of the joint I was
quite unable to walk, the limb continued very much
swollen and edematous, and I suffered dreadfully from
severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended
from the ankle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arias.
Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to na
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston, then to adopt
sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. FEavEn, 16,
Ludgate-hill, who app ied his EMBROCATION, and to my
great astonishment I had no spasm that night, nor have
1 had one since. The next morning I came down stairs
without my crutches, and was able to walk, the
swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I sin now rapidly
recovering. Having for many years had an extensive
medical practice in the county of Stafford, I knew of no
medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mr. b'eaver's Embrocation, I.
am actuated by no other motives than gratitude to him.
and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable
remedy to' my fellow-sufferers. Possessing, as I ever
did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the
shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphi,hl a
system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing
but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
I am, your obedient servant.,
TREVOR, HOLLAND, Surgeon,
Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
P.S.—At the various consultations held upon My ease,
the surgeons and physicians (including myself) were
decidedly of (Tinton that the frequent violent attacks of
spasms would terminate in lock jaw, but as I kayo
before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of
spasms since the first application of this extraordinary
embrocation. T. 11.

Three days ago, 11.1. Vallee, a gentleman of pro-
herty at Valmont, in the Seine Iliferieure, on returning
ome from shooting, with his doable-barrelled gun in
his hand, found Theophille, his man-servant, disgrace-
fully intoxicated, and reproved him severely. The man,
in Ids drunken irritation, snatched the gun out of his
master's hand, and lodged the charge in his shoulder,
and in his flight turned at the threshold of the door,
and discharged the other barrel, the contents of which,
however, only carried away tile skirt of Al. Vallet's
coat. Assistance was immediately at hand, end, as soon
as the -first attentions were paid to M. Vallee, his as-.
sassin was sought for, and nt lenght found in a harm,
hanging lifeless from one of the beams.
On the 2.2 d ult. a man, name4.l Daemans, and MS

wife were a: work in the fields,in the commune of

lombien, when some person entered their
cottage, and.
stole 500 f. and some portable article:,. On their return,
after some time devoted to lamentation, they sat down
to supper. They were seized a few hours after Wards
with violent pains in the stomach, accompanied by vomit-
ings. A medical man was sent for, who administered
antidotes, and soon succeeded in giving relict: The rest
of the soup of which they had been eating, and the‘mat-
ter discharged from their stomachs, were analysed, and,
being tested by Marsh's apparatus, gave out strong signs
of arsenic. It would seen that the person who robbed
the house also threw poison into the pot on the firs. A
man, named Jean Angely, was taken up as the perpe-
tuator of the crime, and sent to the prison of Bergerac.
TIIE UNFORTUNATE CIPIIER.—The MarSeiiiet
Gazette, a few weeks ago, told. a curious anecdote re-
lating to one of the first commercial men of the town.

African coast, bethought him some time since, that, a;

as soon as possible, to fulfil the entire'demand. The
feeling of the honest merchant may be guessed, when,
on moving down to the quay to satisfy himself on the
subject by ocular inspection, he beheld his 160 monkeys,.
all duly caged and littered, and grinningnt birn.with the•
most laudable pertinacity. It was a moment when a
lean might reasonably doubt whether it. would be beck to
laugh or cry. So much for the value of ciphers !
