When Found Make a Note of.
The above was one of the favourite expressions of the renowned "Captain Cuttle immortalised by Dickens in Ms * Dombey and Son/ and, like the Bajinga of Confucius, Plato. Socrates, and other greai men ,who -were looked up to'as oracles in their day and generation on account oJ their vast learning and almost boundless wisdom, it has much to recommend it. When you find a hotel that dispenses the delicious " Houae of Commons" Whisky — the same as is supplied to the patrician members of that ancient and honorable institution, the, House of Commons — " make a note of it," and having sampled .this, pure spirit recommend to your friends. . Bfake a note of this fact also; that only ihose hosts f wrjo, regardless of expense, cater for the benefit of the health of their customers, and who are not so everlastingly studying their pu_ -ea, stock this whisky in preference to a " cueap " brand, which does more to injnre the health and undermine the constitution than anything else besides ; and you can be pretty sure that the hotels presided over by Buch hosts are of the highest character, and will be replete with all that contributes to a travellers comfort and enjoyment. We have not written a word of Messrs James Buchanan and Co's "House of Commons" Whisky that we are not prepared to substantiate by documentary evidence of the most animpeachable character, and if any "honest doubter" requires farther proof that it deserves all that is churned for it, let him just step inside any respectable and welluypointed hotel and call for this Whisky, or oxder it from any wine and spirit merchant or wholesale grocer. — Wholesale Agents :— • Caßtendyke and Focke, Wellington.
