![XL. Mr. Tiz.ird also supplies, and is sole agent for, Sheppard’s Chemical Cleansing Ihquid, for effectually decolourizing, and rendering fit for iinmcdiatc use, brewers’, distillers’, and other Casks, whether old or new. By means of this Liquid, a Wine, Rum, or Brandy Cask can be so completely cured in less than one hour, that it may be immediately filled with Cin, Wliisky, or otlier liquid, without the slightest fear of taint or colour being acquired, even if kept for years. Tlic cost of cleansing does not exceed one penny per cask. The Liquid is supplied, at 5s. per gallon, in jars, of two or more gallons each ; or the recipe for manufacturing the Liquid will be communicated for a moderate sum. The following are a few testimonials from persons who have used the Cleansing Liquid:— “ Liverpool, November 24, 1857. “ Dear Sir,—Your Cleansing Fluid saves both time, trouble, and expense, and is truly valuable. I have much pleasure in recording my opinion of its merits, and wish you every success. No matter what colour a Rum or Wine cask may be, half an hour is sufficient to render it fit for Gin or Whisky, and, although kept in for months, it is perfectly free from taint or colour.—Yours, &c., “ John Bishop, Wine and Spirit Merchant.” '‘'‘Llangollen, November 24, 1857, “ Dear Sir,^—In reply to your inquiry I beg to say that I find your Cleansing Fluid of great value; during the last summer I tried it on hundreds of new Ale barrels with complete success. It is equally efficacious in curing and decolourizing Wine and Spirit casks, one hour or less being quite sufficient time to render a Rum or Wine cask fit for Gin or Whisky. “ With many thanks for your valuable recipe, I am, yours, &c., “ Walter IBooth, Brewer and Spirit Merchant.” Shelton, NovenJier 24, 1857. “ Dear Sir,—I have used your Cleansing Fluid on several occasions with great success, both on Rum and Wine casks, and, although immediately filled with Gin, Whisky, and other S|iirits, 1 have not detected the least taint of colour or flavour; I have also tried it in my Brewery on new Ale barrels, and with the same result.—I am, yours, &c., “ Arthur Peters, Brewer and Spirit Merchant.” “ Dudley, November 24, 1857. “ Dear Sir,—I have every confidence in recommending your Cleansing Fluid to the large body of tradesmen to whom it will prove useful, viz., Brewers, Coopers, Spirit Merchants, &c. Ac. 1 have tried it on many occasions, and can vouch for the correctness of your representa- tions as to its value : 1 have tried it on both new and old casks without a single failure.—1 am, vours, &c., “ William Sheppard, Wine and Spirit Merchant.” North John Street, Liverpool, November 14, 1857. “Dear Sir,—I tried your solution on some small spirit casks during an alteration last summer, and can fully bear out the truth of your assertion as to its capabilities of neutralizing any colour, and entirely purifying any cask it may come in contact with, and that in a few minutes. I shall have great pleasure in recommending it to all my friends.—Yours, Ac., “ W. Parsonage, Spirit Merchant.” Llangollen, November 24, 1857. “ My De.\r Sir,—The receipt you gave me many years ago, for seasoning casks, I have tried in all parts of the country with astonishing results, and it has often surprised me that you did not bring it before the public. “ I wish you the success your meritorious discovery deserves.—Yours truly, “ F. Peters.” “ 114, Waiiviclc Street, Liveipool, November 24, 1857. “ My Dear Sir,—You ask me for my opinion, ‘ in writing,’ of the merits or demerits of the receipt I purchased from you many years ago for seasoning casks. During all my expe- rience both in the Brewing and AVine and Spirit trades I candidly admit I have never met with any thing like it; its operation is almost magical, and the trouble and expense is com- paratively nothing. No matter whether it be a Rum, Brandy, or AATne cask, in a few minutes all traces of taste and colour comiiletely vanish, and it may immediately be filled with any other kind of liquid without the slightest fear. AATth new casks it is equally valuable. During the seven years 1 was in Messrs. Hughes and Bishop’s emiiloy, 1 have repeatedly tried it on new Ale barrels, and should there be a green sa])py stave, the liquid goes completely through it.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28053412_0571.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
