QUIT DRINKING POISONOUS LIQUORS.
PATENT IMPROVED PROCESS FOR MAKING
ALL KINDS OF LIQUORS AND VIREGAR INSTANTLY.
BY THE USE OF
LACOURS JSSENTIAI, OILS

TNHESE OILS are obtained by Dstllation at
i the Chemical Laboratory, Parish Of Jefferson.
OF Pierre Lacour, author of Lacours Chemical
Analysis Lacour's Chemical Manpulations La
cour on the Manufacture of Liquors &c.
Purchasers are particularly requested to return
the TASKS and obtain their money, if the Oil does
not give perfect satisfaction.
LACOUR'S OIL OF COGNAC converts ncu-
tral spirit TO superior imitation of Imported
Brandies, viz Otard, Sazerac, Marett Cognac,
Poulteney, Seignette, United Vineyard Proprie-
tors, Castilion and London Dock Brandes These
liquors will have full, fluity flavor, and beau
tful, sparkling color. Common Rectifed Whis-
key will be changed by the use of the Oil of Cop-
nae to New York Brandy, Pine Apple Brandy.
Common Cognac Brandy, &c
IACOURS OIL OF RYE changes RcctiGed
Nbskcy TO Monongahea Rye Whskev. Old Vir-
ginia Malt Whiskey, Bourbon Whskey. &c.
OIL OF CEDRAT changes common Rectifed
Whiskey to Old Irish Malt Whskey, and sumo
rior article of Scotch Whskey
OIL OF GIN converts the poorest Whiskey to
Holland Gin. Scheidam Sehnapps, Rose Gin, En-
glish Gin &c.
LACouR's CONCENTRATED ACID will, in
five hours after being mixed change five gallons
of good Vinegar and twenty five gallons of water
TO thirty gallons of the most acid Vinegar that
can be found in the market BY the of La
cour's Concentrated Acid Vinegar be made
for one dollar and sixty cents per barrel
FOR MAKING LIQUORS, Lacour's Oils re-
quire no preparaon-only pour the oil into the
whiskey and shake well. The liquors thus made
will have fine natural aroma, a full, rich oily
taste a beautiful transparent color and a fine
head Lacour's oils exert three distinct proper-
ties in converting common whiskey to brandy
gin. &. The first property combines with and
subsidies in the form of floculent particles the
whole of the grain OIL (Amylic Alcohol) The
whiskey is thus deprived of that peculiar irrita-
ting and burning taste, and becomes a needful
spirit the second property consists in an oily
mucillaginous taste impaired to the liquor which
renders it mellow, and imparts an appearance of
great age the third property is exhibited in the
rich vinous nutty odor that is impaired to the
liquor, which renders distinction from the genuine
brands impossible.
These oils are put up in quart TASKS each
flask contains sufficient oil for making three hun
dred gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive
directions accompany the bottles Price So per
bottle.
For sale at the corner of ST. Charles and Poy-
dras streets.
One bottle of these oils, FIVE in number will be
securely packed and shipped, with bill of lading,
to any part Of the country, upon the receipt OF
$40, to the address of
L. LACOUR, New Orleans.
Purchasers are requested, as a guarantee of
good faith, to furnish the name of any house
in New Orleans and We will ship them package
of the Oils. If they do not perform all that is
claimed for them, they will cost nothing.

The Last football.

There is often sadness in the tone,
And moisture in the eye,
And a trembling sorrow in the voice,
When we bid a last good bye,
But sadder far than this, ween,
O sadder far than all,
Is the heart-throb with which we strain
To catch the last football.
The last press of a loving hand
viii cause q thrill of pain,
When we think, Oh, should it prove that we
Shall never meet again.
And as lingeringly the hands unclasp,
The hot, quick drops will fall
But bitterer are the tears we shed
When we har the last football.
We never felt how dear to us
Was the sound We loved full well,
We never knew hol0 musical,
Till its last echo fell
And till we heard it pass away
Far, far beyond recall,
We never thought what grief 'twould be
To hear the last football.
And years and days that long are passed,
And the scenes, that seemed forgot,
Rush through the mind like meteor-light
AS we linger on the spOt
And little things that were as nOught,
But now will be our all,
Come to us like an echo low
OF the last, the last football
