~ s rgTr-B BEER - I -

i for the year 1885, speaks as follows:
There can be no doubt of the general adulte-
countries. where penalties are imposed, and
an increasing r vigilance praeticed to detect and
pSnsh 'H0 frauds By system Of inspection Of
sale, the practice Is very common How much
more in this country, whore there are no laws on
products Of the brewery Some years ago. Pro-
from dozen different breweries, and all were
said that the sale Of drugs TO brewers. is profit
able part Of the trade. This is perfectly Infamous
Ofeulus SUftnn sra hsh neTr nnx Somea dog
some OF the delectable substances found in beer
These are potent poisons, and the brewer found
his own vats. The British Parliament passed a
law to prevent this nefarious business. The fol-
lowing is an extract: NO druggist, vendor of or
dealer in drugs, or chemist or any other person.
shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer dealer
i'll or retailer Of beer, knowing them to be SUCH
or or snaii sell or deliver to any person on account
taller, any liquor called by the name of or sold for
coloring, from whatever material the may
be made; or any material or preparation other
than unground brown malt for the tiarheninr the
color OF worts or beer, any molasses, vitriol
honey. quassia, cocculus indicus, grains Of para
disc, Guinea pepper, or opium. any extract or
preparation OF molasses, or any article or prepa-
ration to be used in worts or beer for or as sub
sttute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall
offend In any OF these particulars, such prepara-
ton, &c, shall be forfeited, and may be seized by
any officer of excise, and the person go offending
shall forfeit fce hundred pounds
Under this law, very many druggists and brew
ers were brought to grief, and yet the practice
continues: Unless the American public are ready
to admit the immaculate purity and innocence Of
American brewers, they must be content, while
drinking their beer to cherish the belief that they
are at the same time guzzling some narcotic poi
son or damaging medicine. In view of the unpre-
cedented growth of the barley crop; of the great
increase of the number of maltsters and brewers
OF the vast unknown quantities of beer that are
drunk in every city and almost every town on the
continent it is the dictate of sound wisdom that
the attention of legislators should be called to
the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors.

YERs CHERRY pECTORAL,

For Diseases Of tie Throat and Lungs such as
Coughs, Gods. lInoopinJ Cough, BrOn-
ctUiS -iSh,itO Gnd Consumption.
EOROBABL1 never before in the whole history of
Il medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints
through long series of years, and among most
OF the races of men, it has risen higher and higher
In their estimation, it has become better known
Its uniform character and power to cure the vari-
Gus affections of the lungs and throat, have made
1T known as II reliable protector against them
While adapted to mder forms of disease and to
young children, ii liz at the same time tie most
eHectual remedy that can be given for incpent
consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lungs. AS provision against sudden
attacks of GROUP, it should be kept on hand IN
every family; and, indeed all are sometimes
subject to colds and coughs all should be provided
with this antidote for them.
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought
incurable, still great numbers Of cases where the
disease seemed settled have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health bv
the CHERRY PECTORAL. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the lungs and
throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
CHERRY PECTORAL they subsido and disappear.
SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS find great
protection from it.
ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly
cured byit.
BRONCHITIS is generally cursd by taking the
CHERRY PICTORIAL in small and frequent doses
So generally are its virtues known that We need
not publish the certificates of them here or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
