PRINCE HENRY'S FAYORITE BEVERAGE
Report Of United States Health BulIe-
tin Of a Safe Summer Beverage.
Analysed by DR.. Amos Gray.

During the heated season people
need q cooling and bracing beverage.
Such a palatable tonic must at once
quench the thirst and also reViyfy the
energy that has become dulled by the
high temperature of the blood.
To satisfy these requirements many
kinds of drinks are offered the public,
such as lemonade, composed prinei-
pally of tartaric acid and water; the
carbonated product known as soda
water, that is so difficult for the stom-
ach to assimilate, and very many more
that our limited space does not permit
lenumerating.
Popular usage has decided that
matted beverage best supplies the
proper stimulation to give a tonic
strength, to overcome summer lassi-
tude The best beverage we have
found to be is pure beer. Not cheap
beer, that max prove an overtax on
the liver and thus cause headache, but
pure beer, that in its9lf combines those
good features so much desired in a
summer beverage.
The United States Health Bulletin,
being the highest American authority
on all matters pertaining to health,
sanitation and hygiene, have just COM
lpleted an unbiased and disinterested
examination and analysis into many
brands of beer, and the result of labo-
ratory investigation has proved the
Iproper beer to drink and the purest
and best to be the beer from the Ba-
I varian Brewery Company, of Fifth anc
DUPONT streets, Wilmington, Del.
This beer, therefore. has the full
editorial and official endorsement o.
the United States Health Bulletin. Oui
staff of physicians have found tha
this beer yields the greatest tonic
strength so much desired to assist di
gestion, that it keeps down the tenn
perature and thus prevents sunstrok'
Z and establishes that proper perspira
tion that promotes mental and physica
activity, thus counterbalancing the eff
I feet of summer heat.
8 For home use it excels as a tabl
!, beer, being of value to wives and chill
dren. AS a preventative of disease
adds tone to the system and thus man
forms of ailments are happily over
come. TO the convalescent it is
tonic, adding new strength and hope
a while as a summer beverage it is pa
excellent. The above beer is CAREFUL
brewed, and from first to last the ut
y most cleanliness is maintained.
e is filtered and refiltered and before be
h ing offered for sale it undergoes ii
:. best sterilizing effect entirely elm
" mating all danger of germs and assui
IS ing the customer the purest and ripe
s. of beer.
/ Mr.. Carl Eisenmenger is the invent'
\. of this great beverage. For sixtee
= years Mr.. Eisenmenger brewed tn
u beer in the Ch. Henrichs Model Brew
10 cry, of Washington. Statesmen al
: visitors Of the capital pronounce san
as the best. Prince Henry, Of German
4 while on a visit in Washington al
= praised this beverage as the finest ms
y product which he tasted in Americ
