Having made a careful chemica al analysis of
the Pancatharticonized old rye whiskey of
Mr. John L. Wilson, Baltimore, am pleased
to state that it is entirely free from Fusil Oil
Metallic Salts, or other matters in any way det-

Careful chemical analysis of four kinds of
whiskies-Superior Old Rye Whiskey, supe-
rior Old Bourbon Whiskey, Superior Old
Wheat Whishey, Superior Old Corn Whiskey
-Pancatharticonized by means of the patent
apparatus invented by John E. Wilson,, of
Baltimore Md, have shown them to be en-
tirely free from the heavy Fusil Oils and from
the poisonous metallic compounds often found
in whiskeys.
They retain the Ethereal Products, entirely
free from any faint produced by injured
grain, or careless fermentation, and being un-
modified by the use of sugar, are remarkably
pure products of delicate chemical operations.
