fur sick. Another witness testified that he
drank something at the house; didn't know
what it was; he called for "dyspepsia remedy
which he saw ticketed on the door; it was given
him in long narrow glass; had a considerable
"bead' on it. The def'nce was that it was not Ter
mented drink, and the sale of it did not bring the
party within the indictment. DR.. Weiss was ex-
amined as an expert, and explained the process of
manufacturing the white beer. The article is
produced from wheat malt and hops, but the fer
mentation after going on for a short time. is sup
pressed, and liquid produced weaker than lager
beer, and containing no alchoho, but acid gas
which causes the beer to effervesce. The Doctor
stated that English ale contained per cent of alco-
hol; German lager beer generally ~ per cent :;
American lager beer 2 per cent; the white beer
contained none. Pringsheim manufactures the
beverage his premises. One or two witnesses
testified that they were in the habit of drinking
the beer, and found it very beneficial to health
1t was good remedy for the dyspepsia
The case was fully argued by the States Attor
ney, and Q. F. Hack, Esq, for the traverser, and
