The
reader
will
also
perceive,
by
the
calculation
in
example
the
first,
that,
by
increasing
or
diminish-
ing
the
different
proportions
of
either
one
or
the
other
of
the
articles
used,
a
corresponding
difference
in
the
cost
price,
may
be
obtained
accordingly.
Thus,
by
adding twenty
or
twenty-five
gallons
of water,
instead
of
seventeen,
with
a
still
greater
proportion
of
the
flavoring
ingredients
mentioned,
to
the
100
gallons
of
proof
made-up
Brandy,
we
have
the
prices
reduced
to
(8*.
and
