CHOLERA MORBUS.

At a time like the present, when universal alarm pre-
vails, from a fear of being visited by this dreadful scourge,
and when the English Cholera was neve' before known to
be so prevalent, it behoves every one, not only to ~tAerse
the strictest precaution in their diet, to avert, it p
its uncertain an momentary attack, but to he al •o pre-
pared with the most efficient remedies, on ti:e first intima-
tion of its approach.
To counteract predisposition to such a malady, and to
resist its rapidly progressive effects, Physicians of Fie first
eminence, who have witnessed its ravages, invari..hly recom-
mend the use of pure Brandy as an indispensable requisite ;
and as they have also discovered from practical it-cults,
that in every case of Cholera a superabunctim accumulation
of acid prevails, J. T. Betts and Co. feel it a duty tht y owe
to the Public again to point attention to the ruperiar merits
of their Patent French Distilled Brandy, whist has the
important recommendation of being fret fro.. those acids
and astringent ina!ter which eontaioitiate the foreign Spirit,
while its perfect resemblance in flavour to the fines. Cognac
has confounded the best judges of Spirits in distinguishing
between them.

" Si It —The sample of Patent French D.t -lied Brandy
you sent me I have accurately examined; and Saving in-
stituted a ►eries of experiments on it, and on the finest
French Brandy, I have in these comparative trials beets
able to discover so little difference, either in their composi-
tion or effects, that they may be considered as identical ; ex-
cepting that your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and
astringent matter, which exists more or less in mort of the
Brandies imported from France.
