.^aiaeiß gotioea; FAHLJBRG & LIST'S PATENT. REVOLU3SION IN SUGAR MARKET. Dunzdin, 10th Jannary 1888. We have pleasure in intimating that we have secured the SOLE AGENCY for New Zealand, and append some particular* about this new product from the Public and Medical Press : — SACCHARINE. THE NEW SWEETENER. Made from Coal Tar, under Messrs Fahlbeeo and List's Patent, and which is 300 times sweeter than Sugar itself. During the past two months, many of the leading Pharmacists of Britain have given great attention to this artiole, owing to its value in medicine as a Dietetic Sweetener, it having been proved to have no effect upon diabetic and gouty subjects. Not only is SACCHARINE invaluable in all pharmacy, but also in all domestic uses, Fruib Preserving, Brewing, Wine Fortifying, Tobacco Sweetening, Mineral Waters, Syrups, Essences, &c, and every day fresh uses are developing. SACCHARINE is, in addition to its Sweetening Qualities, a Good Antiseptic, and is unfermentable and uncrystallisable, hence it has advantages possessed by no other products. For instance, in pharmacy in all cases where sugar is used only as a flavouring agent— as in Syrup of Phosphate of Iron, Easbon's Syrup, &c— in many of which the great difficulty has been to prevent crystallisation. In all disagreeable compounds, such as mixtures containing soda, salicylate, cascara eagrada, quinine, &c., it has great power in covering the objectionable tastes. IN DOMESTIC USES, for all purposes in which sugar is needed as a sweetener, it is invaluable, as it cannot possibly affect the system, and may be used by everyone, irrespective of age or condition : is inocuous in 80 grain doses daily, having no effect even on the appetite or digestion. Half to l£gr will sweeten, a cup of tea or coffee. It retards fermentation where sugar would promote it. One of the largest confectioners in England is now using it in their lozenge factory. FRUIT PRESERVING. Being an antiseptic, all that is necessary is to put the fruit in a jar or bottle, using either a solution of Saccharine or a solution of glucose sweetened with Saccharine, and the original character of the fruit is not damaged. JAM MAKING. It wiH not be necessary to boil in order to make it keep, and no crystallisation will take place, and the fruit instead of being all mashed up will be in the original form. The cost will be about the same as using sugar, but no loss will be caused by the scum which always rises under the present system. BREWING. This is important. A London firm has just settled a monoply which will cover 40 million barrels of beer. From the fact of it being unfermentable, it cannot be used for making worts,' but as a sweetener or purifier after the beer is brewed. Beer sweetened with Saccharine will not fret, and is not affected by temperature. WINE FORTIFYING. Wine may be sweetened without fear of fermentation, and a saving at least of 50 per cent, effected in the amount of spirit necessary to preserve the wine after the addition of the sweetener, if Saccharine is used. Wine thus fortified can be imported into England at the lower rate of duty payable on French wines. It is believed that if Saccharine is used, the addition of spirit will be o»ly required to keep the wine bright when diluted, and not as a preservative as at present. SACCMARINE being fully 300 times sweeter than Cane Sugar it is possible to detect the sweet taste when one part is dissolved in 70,000 parts of distilled water — i.e., one grain per gallon. It is sparingly soluble in cold ' water, more so in warm, thoroughly so in spirits and in water containing bicarbonate soda; and to meet the difficulty of insolubility in water, a soluble salt is being made to make it perfectly soluble in water. Consumers can either have the pure Saccharine or the Saccharine which contains 9092 pc? cent, of the pure. Our first supply of Saccharine is just to hand, and we are also now prepared to tako indents from consumers. Although we have secured the absolute right of handling all importations of Saccharine to the colony, we have determined to make the terms satisfactory to buyers.
