date, towit: the beginning of November last.
the only Importation of London Cordial Gin
ever made except by ourselves, has been two
pipes imported in 1855. On the credit of these
two pipes, which would fill only few hun

of noxious mixture, called. :" London Cordial

and sold at cost of 90 per cent, below the
cost of importation of London Cordial Gin, by
