WASHINGTON CITY,

WASHINGTON CITY,
MR.B.J. NEALE-DEAR-SIR: have examined
the Whisky which you sent me for analysis, with
the view of detecting in 1t any Of those substances
which are often present in such liquors as impuri
ties or authorizations. F..
find il to be free from any considerable amount
of fu sci oil, from any acrd narcotic drug, and
from any metallic contamination.
IL is rather strong liquor, containing little over
40 per cent of alcohol. The solid residue left after
EVAPORATION amounts tn about FIVE grains in pint,
and consists in great part of those substances which
are extracted by alcohol from wood showing that
il has been kept for time i'm the cask, and that
no attempt has been made to give it false smooth
ness of flavor, by means of sugar or gum.
Respectfully yours, b. L. CRAIG, M. ID.
SHALL KEEP CONSTANTLY ON HAND
a large stock of the above named Whisky, and re-
give me a call Ii. j. NEAI.E,
