GENUINE GRAETZER BEER.

Graetzer Beer which has enjoyed for more than 400 years a favourable reputation, is brewed from the best German wheat malt and the finest hops, without any further mixture. It will keep good indefinitely in all climates, remaining always clear as crystal and bright as gold, without pasteurising. On account of its large percentage, of genuine and health giving carbonic acid, it has a refreshing and thirst quenching effect and stimulates the appetite.

Graetzer Beer is strongly recommended and frequently prescribed by physicians for con- valescents, sufferers from stomach complaints and even diabetics. Its excellent qualities combined with extraordinary stability make it a

First Class Export Beer.

It is a speciality in Beer and therefore particu larly adapted for shipment to the Tropics:
