BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
possess the following properties, and are now practically
admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con-
tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c. _ _

They are applicable to these vessels, of every size and shape, front
the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in
diameter :

They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive
in its nature, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious
to moisture.

They preserve the contents of the vessels to which they are applied
perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, mouldy,
or fetid.

They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and

le noxious influence of the musk rat and other vermin.

They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni-
versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil; the capsule being made
of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer-
vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above
useless tinsel, besides having the advantage of being applied with
much greater ease and rapidity.
They have also the very important property of affording absolute
security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions.
In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the use of the
Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the
bottle, Completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly in
tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating
matter, to the fingers, when the cork is extracted—staining every-
thing with which it comes in contact ; and prevents the falling of
such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently detect
riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid.
Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven-
tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved
Fruits, Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, Oils, Mustard, Ink,
Blacking, &c., &c., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the
bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which
will not incur extra expense.
Furtker particulars may be had, and orders received, at the Manu-
factory, No. 1, WHARF-ROAD, CITY-ROAD.

FEVER AND INFLUENZA.
DR. NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain remedy
for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases that arise from
obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recommended to the
Practitioner, and the Public, possesses qualities of the most mild and
beneficial nature ;it is composed of articles known to be the ost
anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient known to the profts-
sion, as the only certain anntidote for Fevers of every description.
When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air,
swampy and damp situations, or putrid miasma, whether malignant
or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its opera-
tion and effects, it produces the most gentle and salutary perspira-
tion, and by a specific quality, peculiar to itself, not only expels the
disease, but restores and invigorates the system. These celebrated
Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their invariable effects,
of numbers of the nobility, gentry, and medical men of this king-
dom, and the extensive demand for them from the West Indies and
America, proves that in those countries they are held in equal
estimation.
The Genuine will have engraved on the Govermnent Stamp,
