The Manufacture of an Improved Beverage..
1, DONALD WILLIAM DICKSON, of 16 Criffel Avenue, Streatham Hill, in the County
of Surrey, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a cooling and at the same time
nourishing still or effervescent drink, the basis of which is essence or extract of
meat.
I accomplish this result by combining with still or effervescent natural or artificial
mineral waters a suitable proportion of essence or extract of beef mutton or other
animal food.
My said invention is carried into practice as follows, viz. -I combine with the
mineral water, in the course of manufacture of the same or in the process of bottling
it, about one ounce of essence or extract of beef, mutton or other meat to each pint
of the mineral water. I can, however, vary the proportions, according to the result
desired and the kind of meat employed, and the strength of the essence or extract.
I prefer to use, in the manufacture of my improved beverage, Dickson's Concentrated
Beef Tea.
My invention is applicable to soda-water, potash-water, Apollinaris, Tannus, Vichy
and other mineral waters.
My said invention affords the advantage of enabling a person to imbibe nutritious
and sustaining food in the form of a cooling and refreshing drink.
