PATENT IMPROVED PROCESS FOR MAKING
INSTANTLY BY THE USE OF
LACOUR'S ESSENTIAL. OILS.

UNHESE OILS are obtained by dstillation at
Il the Chemical Laboratory Parish of Jefer-
son, of Pierre Lacour, author of Lacour's Chemi-
cal Analysis. Lacour's Chemical Manipulations
Lacour on the Manufacture of Liquors, &c.
Purchasers are particularly requested to return
the TASKS and obtain their money if the oils does
not give perfect satisfaction.
LACoUR's OIL OF C0GNAC converts neutral spirit
to superior imitation of Imported Brandies, viz
Otard Sazerac. Marett Cognac, Paultney Seig-
nette, United Vineyard Propretors, Castilon and
London Lock Brandies. The liquors will have
full fruity flavor and beautiful, sparkling color
Common Rectifed Whiskey will be changed by
the use of the Oil of Cognac to New York Brandy
Pine Apple Brandy. Common Cognac Brandy. &c

TO Monongahela Rye Whiskey. Old Virginia Malt
Whiskcy. Bourbon Whskey. &C.
OIL OF CEDRAT changes commonRectiicd Whis-
key to Old Irish Malt Whiskey.
OIL OF PEACH changes common Whiskey to
Virginia Peach Brandy, &c. Oil of Peach and

gallons of the most acid Vinegar that can be found

trated Acid, Vinegar can be made for one dollar
and sixty cents per barrel.
For MAKING LIQUORS. Lacour's Oils requires no
eparation-only pour the oil into the whiskey
and shake we'll. The liquors thus made will have
fine natural aroma. full, rich, oily tastes beau
tiful transparent color and fine bead. Lacours
oils exert three distinct properties in converting q
common whiskcy TO brandy. gin. &c. The first
property combines with and subsidies in the form
of ioculent particles the whole of the grain oil
(Amylic Alcohol) The whiskey is thus deprv-
ed of that peculiar irritating and burning taste,
and becomes neutral spirit; the second property
consists in an oily mucillanimous taste impaired
to the liquor, which renders it mellow. and impatrs
an appearance of great age: the third property is
exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is i'm
parted to the liquor. which renders distinction
from the genuine brands impossible.
These oils are put mp in quart TASKS; each flask
contains Sufficient oil for making three hundred
gallons of liquor. Fall and comprehe direc
tions accompany the bottles. Price 81 per bottle.
For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poy-

The Hermit.

For yeais. upon mountains brow,
A hermit lived-the Lord knows how,
Plain was his dress, and coarse his fare;
He got his food-the Lord knows where,
His prayers were short, his wants were few,
He had friend-the Lord knows who
No care or trouble vexed his lot;

At length this aged man did die;
He left the world-the Lord knows why.
