    Ridicules proprietors of bitter ale breweries for puffing their product with the support of numerous 'eminent scientific and medical men of the day', including Justus von Liebig, Thomas Graham, August W von Hofmann, and James Muspratt. Argues that Liebig is a poor judge of beer and suggests the proprietors ask instead the opinion of 'eminent agricultural and bucolic men'.
