page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JAMES
DAY, of Church Lane, in the Parish of Saint Mary, Whitechapel, in the
County of Middlesex, Merchant, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, in and by
His Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing
date the Ninth day of September, in the forty-seventh year of His
reign, for Himself,. His heirs and successors, did give and grant unto me, the
said James Day, my executors, administrators, and assigns, His special licence,
full power, sole privilege, and authority, that I, the said James Day, my
executors, administrators, or assigns, by myself or themselves, or by my or their
deputy or deputies, servants or agents, or such others as I, the said James
Day, my executors, administrators, or assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time, and at all times thereafter during the term
of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and
vend, within that part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
called England, the Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed

page_text: my Invention for "MAKING OR COMPOUNDING A CERTAIN LIQUID COMPOSITION
CALLED DANZIG OR DANTZIC SPRUCE, OR DANZIG OR DANTZIC BLACK BEER;"
in which said Letters Patent there is contained a proviso obliging me, the
said James Day, in and by an instrument in writing under my hand and
seal, particularly to describe and ascertain the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, and to causo the same
to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within one calendar
month next and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent,
as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at
large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said James
Day, do hereby describe and ascertain the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed as follows (that is to say:)-
Take two bushels of fine wheat, five bushels of ryc, and three bushels of
barley, bake them in an oven, or dry them on a kiln, then grind the whole
pretty fine, then put them into an iron pot fixed in brick work as a copper (to
contain three hundred gallons, then fill the pot with clean water, and boil the
whole two hours, keeping it stirred the whole time; when it has boiled two
hours, empty the pot clean out, and strain off the liquor from the grain;
then put into the pot or boiler five hundredweight of the best molasses;
boil it till all the water is out of it, and until when a little of it dropped
on a board becomes quite hard; then stir into it three pints of pure refined
turpentine; when this is thoroughly mixed, pour into it by little quantities that
which was strained from the grains until the whole of the liquor is replaced
into the boiler; when this is done put into it five pounds of oak bark ground
fine; let all be boiled for two hours, then take it out of the boiler, and put it
into coolers; when it is cool, or about milk warm, put it into one large open
tub, and work it off with five gallons of stale porter grounds, or with three
gallons of fresh yeast; put it into casks, and let it work till it leaves off; bung it
up, and let it stand three months or longer before it is used. It is an excellent
beverage for persons troubled with rheumatisms, gravel, colds, sprains,
bruises, or internal weakness, taken warm going to bed, or cold in the
daytime; it circulates and enriches the blood, and strengthens the whole
human frame.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Day, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and seven.
JAMES DAY. (L.S.)
