LACOUR’S CONCENTRATED ACID will, in five hours after being mixed, change five gallons of good Vinegar and twenty-five gallons of water to thirty galions of the most acid Vinegar that can be foundin . the market. By the use of Lacour’s Concertrated . Acid, vinegar can be made for one dollar and sixty cents per barrel. FOR MAKING LIQUORS, Lacour’s Oils require no preparation—only pour the oilinto the whiskey and shake well. The liquors thus made will have a fine natural aroma,a full, rich, oily taste; a beautiful traneparent color and a fine bead. Lacour’s oils exert three distinct properties in converting common whisky to brandy, gin, &c. The first property combines with and subsides in the form of fioculent particles the whole of the grain oil, (Amylic Alcohol. )— The whisky is thus deprived of that peculiar irritating and burning taste, and becomes a neutral spirit ; the second property consists in an oily mucillaginous taste imparted to the liquor which renders it mellow, and imparts anappearance of greatage ; the third property is exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is imparted to the liquor, which renders distine. tion from the genuine brands impossible. These oils are put up in quart flasks; each flask contains sufficient oil for making three hundred gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive directions . accompany the bottles. Price $2 per bottle. For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poydars streets. Onc bottle of these oils, five ia number, will be securely packed and shipped, with bill of lading, to any part ofthe country, upon the receipt of $10, to the address of P. LACOUR New Orlens.

The liquors thus made will have a fine natural aroma,a full, rich, oily taste; a beautiful traneparent color and a fine bead. Lacour’s oils exert three distinct properties in converting common whisky to brandy, gin, &c. The first property combines with and subsides in the form of fioculent particles the whole of the grain oil, (Amylic Alcohol. )— The whisky is thus deprived of that peculiar irritating and burning taste, and becomes a neutral spirit ; the second property consists in an oily mucillaginous taste imparted to the liquor which renders it mellow, and imparts anappearance of greatage ; the third property is exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is imparted to the liquor, which renders distine. tion from the genuine brands impossible. These oils are put up in quart flasks; each flask contains sufficient oil for making three hundred gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive directions . accompany the bottles. Price $2 per bottle. For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poydars streets. Onc bottle of these oils, five ia number, will be securely packed and shipped, with bill of lading, to any part ofthe country, upon the receipt of $10, to the address of P. LACOUR New Orlens.
