PATENT BRANDY versus PREJUDICE.

T. BETTS and Co. had flattered themselves that the un-
-0 • precedented extent of sale and admitted superiority in the
quality of their PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, would,
ere now, have whole dissipated the prejudice which has been
known to exist in the minds of many persons against Brandy
manufactured in this country, and which, before the introduc-
tion of their article, was, perhaps, justifiable. If a patronage,
as distinguished as it. is extensive, including many thousand
families of every rank and class of society in all parts of the
kingdom, be any proof of merit, then has the PATENT BRANDY
irresistible claims to universal support.
J. T. BETTS and Co. could well have afforded to rest their
claims to the merit of having introduced an unrivalled produc-
tion on such incontrovertible evidence. But they feel that the
public, rather than themselves, are interested in the announce-
ment, that they are perfectly aware of the efforts still made by
interested persons to depreciate the PATENT BRANDY; and to
prevent the entire removal from the public mind of that inju-
rious delusion, which, however weakened, still exists in a qua-
lified degree. It is mainly with a view, therefore, to destroy
the last remnant of this prejudice, that J. T. BETTS and Co.
recall the attention of all classes to the consideration of the de-
cided approval given by the faculty to their PATENT BRANDY—
an approbation resting on the important facts contained in the
181lowinF detail :
First, Illat "BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY"
is the only known.pure Spirit in the World.
Secondly, That the dealers in French Brandy—who have
always been the most inveterate, as they are the natural oppo-
nents of the PATENT BRANDY—have been repeatedly chal-
lenged in the public journals, by comparison otherwise, to
disprove the foregoing fact; and as the vital terests of their
trade hang upon its disproval, the sole and j inference drawn
by the public, from their constantly declinin o accept the chal-
lenge, is, that THE FACT LS BEYOND DISPUTE.
hirdiv, That, whilst the PATENT BRANDY possesses all the
valuable properties of the first class Cognac, it is free from the
acids which even that fine spirit is known to contain. Its supe-
riority is still more marked over French Brandies of the second
and lower classes, which are frequently mixed with considerable
quantities of a spirit obtained from other products than the
grape, containing a large proportion of acid, which tends seri-
ously to disorder the stomach.
Fourthly, That in consequence of the freedom of the PATENT
BRANDY from those injurious acids, its use is not attended with
nausea or head-ache. Arid, as a necessary consequence of its
extreme purity, it is found congenial to the most delicate con-
.stitutions, and is especially valuable to persons of bilious or
dyspeptic habits.
Fifithly, That, for the foregoing reasons, all the faculty, who
are acquainted with the intrinsic merits of the PATENT BRANDY,
recommend it in preference to any other spirit for medicinal
purposes.
Sixthly, That, for the like reasons, when used as an ordinary
beverage, diluted (in the manner recommended by the first
-Physicians) in the proportion of one to six, it is infinitely pre-
ferable to Malt, and other fermentable liquors. Whilst it stands
unrivalled for HOME MADE WINES, CONFECTIONARY, and CULI-
NARY purposes, where the absence of acids is au important
requisite.
Seventhly—That the PATENT BRANDY, either PALE or co-
LOURED, at the highest legal strength, is charged Only EIGHTEEN
SHILLINGS per Imperial Gallon, or little more than half the
price of French Brandy.
And lastly—That the superiority of the PATENT BRANDY, as
thus defined, is established by unanimous opinions, founded
upon the results of various analyses made by the most cele-
brated chemists; from whose certificates the three accompany-
ing extracts are selected :
