SOME ADVICE ABOUT SUMMER DRINKS.

At this time of tho year, when summer drinks are in great demand and when so many cheap, syntheticallyprepared and adulterated decoctions are offered to the public, it will be wise to remember thiv Thomson and Co., of Dunedin, guarantee that their cordials and ginger wine contain no chemicals or adulterations of any kind. They guarantee to us that their Ginger Wine is manufactured from the finest and purest tropical ingredients, and that it is a genuine wine—not a cordial or liquid fruit generally sold as ginger wine. It is matured for at least two and a-half years in seasoned oak, then racked, twice re-racked and bottled. It is certainly a wine of rare vinosity and delightful bouquet. They guarantee that their Raspberry Vinegar is manufactured from a careful selection of fresh fruit and sweetened and thickened with only the very finest No. 1 grade cane sugar. No chemical flavouring or thickening matter is used, and it <s matured for at least six months before being put on the market. They also guarantee to us that their Lime-juice Cordial is manufactured from the first pressing of specially cultivated West Indian limes, not the crude pulp, chemical essences, or acids generally used, and triple refined and reserved for them by Messrs. Rose and Co., of London, the leading growers and refiners of the world, who are bound by a guarantee to supply Thomson and Co. with pure fruit juice with a natural .acidity of 35grs. par fluid ounce. Nothing better than this can be produced ill the world, and Thomson's Lime-juice Cordial is therefore miles ahead of anything in this market, as also ar© all their productions. We are asked to warn the. public that cheap, chemically-prepared decoctions without any manufacturer's name on the label (which is a close imitation) are being offered as Thomson's manufacture. When you ask for Thomson's, therefore, be careful to see that that the name "Thomson and Co." and the trademark "Purity" are on the wrapper, label, and capsule, otherwise it is not genuine.
