New YORK, Sept. %, 1856.
To Col. f. G. CHARLEs:-MY DEAR SIR
Under some circumstances we recomme nd
Holland Gin as a medicine. As yours con.
tains much larger quantity of Juniper,
think it preferable article. IT rs THE BEST
ARTICLE OF THE KIND | HAVE SEEN.

0Be@arc of poisonous mixtures, manu-.
featured in initiation, and sold as LONDON
CORDIAL GIN!
The records OF the Custom houses in the
cities of New York, Boston ard Phil,dek +
phia, show that CHAxLEs' LONDON CcRbfAL
GIN is the only London Gin really Imported,
and sold in bottles. A recent controversy
in the New York papers has demonstrated
that up to that date, to wit, the beginning of
November last, the only importation of Lon.
don Cordial Gin ever made, except by our.
selves, has been two pipes imported in 1855.
On tho credit of these two pipes, which
would FIJI only few hundred bottles, over
one hundred thousand dozen, Of a noxious
mixture, called "Lofdon Cordial Qin,' have
been spread alt evef this Continent and
sold at cost 20 per cent. below the cost of
importation of London Cordial Gin, by one
concern; whilst another, who represent
themselves agents for "Booth g. SedgwicF.
OF London" HAD NEVER IMPORTED ONE DROP,
and yet have flooded the whole South and
West with their so,called LONDON GIS.
The genuine CHARLES LONDON CORDIAL
GIN is for sale in quarts at one dollar, and
p;nts at fifty cents, by all Druggists and
Grocers. De sure that, though styled "LoN.
DON CORDIAL G;N," it is absolutely Charles.
To escape udulterated and poisonous mix.
lures, it does not suffice that the article be
labeled LONDON CORDIAL Civ but be Ger.
tain that 1t is CHARLES. None other is
genuine. .. ''" -.'

ment in form of a Bomb Lance, which for utility and effective

SAN FRANCISCO, January 10, 1856.
CAPT. r. BRowN-Sir !: I take this opportunity to inform
you that we used those Bomb Lances we bought of you, and
found them to be of great benefit in capturing whales amongst
the ice.
The first whale that we used the Bomb Lance on was killed
in the following manner The boat went alongside of the whale
him with a gig iron the Bomb was heard to explode, and the
whale did not blow after the Bomb exploded. The above-men-
TONED whale was in the ice, and it is our opinion that we should
not nave got that whale and many others that we did get, if lit
had not been for your Bomb Lances, and We fully recommend
them to the attention of those fitting out whale ships.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS WALL, Master bark George.
HONOLULU, March II, 1856.
CAPT. ROBERT BRowN-My dear SIR: L used your Bomb
Lances in taking a whale, north, the past season, which made
$50 bbls. of oil. We never could have taken him without said
Lances, as our boats could not get near enough to use the COM
mon hand lance, q
Yours Respectfully,

CAPT. ROBERT BRowN-DedrS Sir 1 take this opportunity
to inform you that I used your Bombs on the voyage in the ship
Herald, and found them effective in taking whales, and would
recommend them to all whalemen, and especially around the ice.
l also used the harpoon and got most of the whales by your
Guns and apparatus.
Yours Respectfully,
