COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Malt Liquors, Wines, and Spirits.
We, FRANCIS TAYLOR SIMSON, of 110 Lavender Hill, London, S.W. in the
County of Surrey, Physician, and JAMES Cox, of 47 Gowrie Road, Lavender
Hill, London, S. W. in the County of Surrey, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to effect improvements in malt liquors, fermented
wines, & spirits, whereby they are rendered more sustaining, more invigorating,
and by which is imparted to them or strengthened the property of retarding the
wear of the tissue of the human body.
We accomplish this object by combining with malt liquors, fermented wines,
and spirits, kola, or kolaine (caffein).
The quantities of kola, or of kolaine (caffein) to be combined with the malt
liquor, wine, or spirit may be varied to suit requirements, the limits between which
they may most usefully vary we consider to be as follows:-Kolaine (caffein), to
a gallon of malt liquor 16 to 32 grains, to a gallon of wine 72 to 144 grains, to a
gallon of spirit 72 to 144 grains; kola, such quantities as are calculated to contain
the desired quantities of kolaine (caffein) as well as other constituent parts of kola
nuts.
The kolaine (caffein), or the kola, may be combined with the malt liquor, wine,
or spirit, in any suitable manner :-e.g. the kolaine by adding the desired quantity
either in the form of the alkaloid or a salt thereof, e.g. citrate, (which may be
previously dissolved); the kola by grinding the nuts and adding the powder to the
malt liquor, wine, or spirit, or by crushing the nuts and placing them in the malt
liquor, wine, or spirit, the solid portions of the nuts being removed when sufficiently
soaked, or by adding a spirituous or other solution of kola nuts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The combination of kola with malt liquors substantially as herein described.
2. The combination of kolaine (caffein) with malt liquors substantially as herein
described.
3. The combination of kola with fermented wines substantially as herein described.
