"DOUBLE  DISTILLED  BAY  SPIRIT," 
PREP A EE D  BY 
A.  H.  RUSE,  ST.  THOMAS,  W.  I, 
^'  Ruse's  Double  Distilled  Bay  Spirit  "  is  without  doubt  the 
finest  article  of  the  kind  ever  imported.  In  its  manufacture  only  the 
true  bay  leaves,  Pimenta  Acris,  W.  A.  [Myrcia  Acris,  D.  C]  are  used 
and  they  are  not  dried,  but  thrown  fresh  into  the  still  with  the  proper 
proportion  of  bayberries,  and  the  finest  quality  of  St.  Croix  rum.  The 
distillation  is  done  by  steam,  and  not  over  an  open  fire,  as  is  generally 
the  case,  consequently  nothing  of  its  fine  aroma  is  lost,  nor  is  it  ever 
burnt. 
As  a  guarantee  to  the  consumer  of  getting  the  genuine  article,  each 
bottle  will  bear  the  label  of  A.  H.  Riise,  Apothecary  Hall,  St. 
Thomas,  W.  I.

Gents : — Since  my  purchase  of  your  first  invoice 
I  have  had  frequent  occasion  to  renew  my  stock  of 
"iiitse's  Double  Distilled  Bay  Sjnrti."  It  is,  without 
doubt,  fhe  most  satisfactory  article  I  have  ever 
offered  my  trade  and  its  rapidly  increasing  sale  is 
to  me  a  gratifying  evidence  of  its  superiority.  Its 
remarkable  purity  and  great  strength  in  spirit,  and 
its  unusually  delightful  fiagrance  commend  it 
above  all  others  to  purchasers  of  fine  goods. 
Very  Truly  Yours,

J.  W.  CAMPION  &  CO. 
Gents  : — The  Riise's  Double  Distilled  Bay  Spirit 
ordered  of  you  has  been  received.  After  a  careful 
examination  I  am  pleased  to  state,  that  in  point 
strength,  delicacy  and  permanence  of  odor  it  is/«r 
superior  to  any  Bay  Rum  I  have  sold  in  an  exper- 
ieuce  of  forty-two  years.  By  mixing  it  with  an 
equal  quantity  of  water,  its  perfume  is  more  agree- 
able and  lasting  than  any  "  puie  Bay  Rum  "  known 
to  me.       Yery  Truly  Yours, 
F.  T.  MAYNARD.

J.  W.  CAMPION  &  CO. 
Gents  : — I  can  heartily  recommend  "i?iise'*Do?x6Ze 
Distilled  Bay  Spirit,"  and  say  for  it,  tliat  it  is  the  best 
article  of  the  kind  I  have  e\  er  handled. 
Yours  Truly, 
W.  H.  BARRETT.

J.  W.  CAMPION  &  CO., 
Gentlemen  : — I  have  recently  compared  the  Bay 
Spirit  distilled  by  A.  H.  Riise,  of  St,  Thomas,  with 
other  commercial  varieties  of  imported  Bay  Rum, 
and  find  there  is  considerable  difference  between 
them.  They  vary  in  alcoholic  strength,  ranging 
from  40  to  48  per  cent,  (by  weight)  of  alcohol,  and 
in  color  and  odor.  A.  H.  Riise  s  is  nearly  white, 
strongest  in  spirit,  wliile  the  odor  is  more  fragrant 
and  lastintr  thnn  any  of  the  others  exanuned.  It 
has  the  peculiarly  aromatic  fragrance  of  the  bay 
leaf,  which  may  be  owing  to  its  being  distilled  by 
steam  from  selected  fresh  leaves  and  fruit  of  the 
gfew?(i«e  Bay  Tree.  It  certainly  is  the  most  agree- 
able and  refreshing  of  any  that  I  have  tried. 
Respectfully, 
JAMES  T.  SHINN.
