Ryvjcs, Sheffield. 12, Paradise-street, Sheffield, Aug. 13, 1900. Messrs. Newton and Lawrence. Dear Sirs,—I thank you for the sample of Non-alcoholic Lager Beer you so kindly sent me. I think it a capital beverage and a good substitute for the ordinary beer. Medical men are often asked by their patients when advising them to discontinue drinking beer: Well, doctor, what can I take instead ? I cannot drink water." I shall have no hesitation in recom- mending your Lager Beer, more especially now that I know the composition of the same, as there is nothing deleterious in it or anything likely to do harm by long continued use-on the contrary, it would act as a good stomachic, and restore that organ to its proper state, and would also restore the appetite. Hoping you will have good success with the same, as it is deserving of it.—Believe me, yours faithfully, W. EDGAR RYVES, L.R.C.P., Ac. Sole Proprietor-NEWTON & LAWRENCE, Norwich and London.
