DUNSTAN BREWERY, COLONIAL WINE AND CORDIAL MANUFACTORY. Monte Christo, Clyde. J. D. FERAUD takes the present opportunity of informing residents of the Northern Goldfields and the general public that his Factory being replete with every convenience, he is now turning out en article not to be equalled. Mr. Feraud has succeeded in producing AROMATIC TONIC BITTER WINES which are not only agreeable beverages, but also have excellent medicinal qualities. The following is Professor Block's report :— University, Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. Class — Beverages. November sth, 1875. I have examined for Mr. J. D. Feraud, of Monte Christo, Clyde, Otago, two samples of Aromatic Tonic Bitters, -with the following result :— No. 827 is a sherry coloured, and No. S2B is a port-wine ed-coloured liquid ; they are both perfectly transparent, showing the purity of the water and other substances employed in their manufacture. These two Beverages have a slight acid chemical reaction, and possess an agreeable cool bitter taste, blended with a sensation of sweetness, arising from the sacharine matter )f the fruit of which they are the fermented ixtract. I have also examined the aromatic aud other flavouring substances used by Mr. Feraud in their manufacture, and from the propor tions in which they are blended with the fruit wine, they must be pronounced perfectly safe, and free from anything like deleterious properties. I consider this wine, therefore, an agreeable and perfectly safe beverage, and when diluted with three or four times their bulk of water, they will make a good cooling summer drink JAMES G.
