RICHES IN RECITES.

—. 4 £IOO,OOO FOR WORCESTER SAUCE. A fortune awaits the lucky inventor- of a new food, drink or relish. •No less than £330,000 was once paid in the open market for the recipe of Chartreuse, that delectable liqueur whos e secret was known only to the monks of La Grande Chartreuse. Expelled from France in 1793, tho fathers of this order were wise enough to take their jealously-guard-ed recipe with them. This “scrap of paper,” originally consisted of a single sheet, but numerous additions and alterations, together with more detailed directions regarding the manufacture of their precious liqueur caused the parchment to grow eventually into a book containing 100

pages. A goodly proportion of breakfast baco,n hah been cured by the famous Brandenburg method. The secret of this process was purchased, for £lO, 000 by an enterprising firm of bacon curers, and their outlay must have returned to them many timefc over. Worcester sauc e was invented by a retainer serving in a large country house. Finding' that his relish was appreciated by the family and their gueslls, he ’ sold the recipe for a few pounds to the original head of a famous sauce-making firm.

Although this transaction took place 200 years ago, no variation has been made in the ingredients of the popular tabic delicacy, and it iis probably no exaggeration to say that the recipe is now worth over £IOO,OOO. Many years ago an Indian traded for a few jupees the formula for mixing the ingredients for a special kind of chutney. This was subsequently sold again for £7,500, and produced a vast fortune for the final purchaser. DR A. SANDER, M.D., L.R.P.C., M.R.C.S.
