SODA WATER.

ROUGHSEDGE and SummEns have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the lErated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re-
course to anftricks. In the present day some persons
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. R.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe-
riority of their own soda-water and 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
fur them by the public, both at home and abroad,
that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanations that
may enable the
1111 t public to judge for themselves. If R. and

fact,ll a
nfiagrn undue :i dl)ueut credit to the name of Schweppe, they hare
simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have
been denied. For five and twenty Tears, during the very
Period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
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.
Schweppe, 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 and 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 business
fur 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, R. 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 ina•
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottled which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
• from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUGHSEDGE and SurtmEas only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from tile prated Waters produced
• at their own manufactory, and sold under the labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-strect, Bristol.
