gushed chemists for analysis and pronounced by
them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pur

1t might be supposed by persons unacquain,ed
with the daring character of tho pirates who prey
upon the reputation ofhonorable merchants by vead-

would have precluded tho introducions and sale OF
counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have
stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade
