f^APTAIN CUTTLE'S ADVICE. "WHEN FOUND MAKE A NOTE OF." The above was one of the favourite expressions of the renowned " Captain Cuttle," immortalised by Dickens in his " Dombey and Son," and like the sayings of Confucius, Plato, Socrates, and other great men, who were looked up to as oraoles in their day and generation on account of their vast learning and almost boundless wisdom, it has much to recommend it. MVhen you find a hotel that dispenses the deliciom " House of Commons " Whisky— the same as. is supplied to the patrician members of that ancient aod honourable institution, the House of Commons — "make a note of it," and having sampled this pure spirit, recommend it to your friends. Make a note of this fact also, that only those hosts who regardless of expense cater for the benefit of the health of their customers, and who are not so everlastingly studying their purses, stock this whisky in preference tea" cheap " brand, which does more to injure the health and undermine the constitution than anything else besides ; and ypu can be pretty sure that the hotels presided over by such hosts are of the highest character, and will be replete with all that contributes to a. traveller's comfort and enjoyment. We have not written a word of Messrs James Buohanan and Co.'b '* House of Commons " Whisky that we are not prepared to substantiate by documentary evidence of tha most unimpeachable character, and if any " honest doubter " requires further proof that this Whisky deserves all that is claimed for it, let him just step inside any respectable and well-appointed hotel and call for if, or order it frojQ any wine and spirit merchant or wholesale grocer.
