WATER.

Throughout the Manufacture of this justly celebrated brand of Table Watersall ingre- dients used are guaranteed of juurest quality. The machinery used is the most modern „type and we have gone to great expense to ! erect our plant on latest scientific principles which has such a great advantage over the old process of manual labour still in vogue through the Colony, thereby further ensuring the parity of our products,

The Manufactory is under the personal supervision of a QUMIFIED ENGLISH CHEMIST, who has devoted years to bring. this branch of the trade to perfection.

.

The Water used is analysed daily, to en-; sure of its absolute purty, and when we say that our method of manufacture has been" approved by Sanitary and Medical Auiliori-¦ ties, it is in itself a suflicient guarantee.
