matter of Ginger Ale alone many preparations have
been placed before the public but to have
met with success or popular favor.
The celebrated Belfast Ginger Ale mpore Of course
met with certain degree OF success but the price pre-
vented Its coming into general among the vast
majority OF consumers. Now matters are changed,
