T^XTRACT from a report on an ANALYSIS 111 of G-abdneb & Co.'s " X India" Pale Ale, made by Professor Alfbbd S. Taylob, M.D., P.R.S., of G-uy's Hospital, London :— "I believe this to be a sample of good, •wholesome, nnd genuine Beer, sufficiently strong in alcohol to render it a pleasant stimulant, and to r-onfer on it keeping properties. The mineral matter or ash is in small proportion, no greater than that which should be found in a genuine decoction of malt. It consists of alkaline, phosphate, and chloride salt?, which are naturally found in the blood, and which may be regarde 1 as necessary constituents of our daily food. In the form and proportion in which they exist in this sample thoy are conducive to health, and confer wholesome properties on the Ale. "As (o the quality of the Ale for Indian con sumption, I do not see that it admits of any improvement. It has the genuine taste which only malt and hops of good quality skilfully proportioned can give. " Apart from the results of this ohemical analysis, which has been made for my own satisfaction, I have U3ed this Ale as an article of diet for several weeks, and I find it to be as wholesome and proper for daily use as its chemical composition indioates."
