Wine.


From the accounts published from time to
time in the leading Cincinnati papers, we
perceive that the Wine interest Of that State
is fast rising in Importance and value, so
much so in fact that it is absolutely matter
of doubt whether in future years it will not
oven supercede in revenue the Pork and Pro
vision interests of the State Already are
the vineyards a source Of great and increas-
ing wealth, and it is promised that if the
popularity of native wines and brandies con-
tinue at IN equal ratio with the last few wears,
imported liquors will find an important rival
The juice of the Catawba grape probably is
not equallcd, or at all events exceled in
purity IN lie world. Besides this fact. the
selves together for the mertorious purpose
OF protecting not only themselves bat the
public at large in regard to the genuinness
of the oprocucts of their vineyards. The Wine
Association OF Cincinnati, as it is called, by
the measures of precaution which they have
thus taken, renderthe fabrication of spurious.
or even wines that are not up to the stand
ard almost matter of impossibilty, at least
SO far as imposing them upon the market as
being genuine goes. All wines coming into
the market are first subjected to tie test OF
the Association, and in all cases where they
are not fully up to the standard tie manutac-
turer is held accountable. Nothing is con-
tained in these wines or brandies but the
pure Juice Of the grape and the high favor
in which they are held throughout the coun-
try, is a sufficient guarantee Of the hold they
are taking upon the popular taste. In fact,
the sparkling Catavba, it is positively assert
ed. is in most instances, from its extreme
agreeabiiity and healthiness. much preferred
to the imported brands; while the still wines
-inasmuch as the consumer is positive in
regard to the purity of the articles and con-
sequently more safe in the use of the native
rather than the foreign-are held in con-
siderable favor over the light French and
German wines. In regard to their value as
tonics, they arc highly recommended by ply
s;cians as being in every way beneficial and
applicable to the invalid. 1t is fairly to be
presumed, if this proves the case in regard
TO the Ohio grape, after the length of time
tnow at least some eight years. since full and
complete attention has been given to the
Ohio culture, that the wine interest Of Cali
fornia, which in period of time so much
less in proportion has exhibited such an ad-
vanced percentage over the business of its
Eastern competitor, will likewise prove equal
" valuable TO the State at large and to the
Southern sections in particular. We have
already shown the large increase in the man
utacture of the present over former years,
and here, where from the genialitv of our
seasons and the little risks that attend the
safety of the crops-where in fact the growth
is next to spontaneous in its character, We
may hazard little in asserting that this article
will rank, ere many years, prominently in
the swelling list of our exports.-4San Fran-

THE CHLORIDE or GOLD.

nor PRIMARY SYPHALIS.-How long have
J. the medical profession tried in vain to dscov-
some thereputical agent that could be relied
upon to cure d scase more to be dreaded than al
others combined. Some Quack Doctors advertise
to cure venerial diseases without the use of mer-
curry. But their statements false We have
taken pains to collect The recipes of some who
make a great noise, and we find that they use the
1Odide of Mercury for every thing. whether it is
proper not and since we find them msreprc-
senting in this particular. we have reason to
suspect, them and sd omne genus in all their
pretcnsons
Gentlemen. there never was a remedy capable
of curing the disease without mercury until the
discovery of the Chloride of Gold, and we submit
it to the test, having thoroughly tried it. and
knowing it to possess all the qualities attributed
to it.
DR.. Christian says-The Chloride of Gold is
capable of curing Syphalis under all its forms,
and that in its general operations on the system,
it possesses many advantages over mercury. 1t
is effcacous, yet gentle. 1t may be administered
with perfect safety at all seasons of the year. and
under any complications Of the disease. Persons
of either sex may be put upon it with equal safe
ty, the only precauton enjoned is strict temper
ance. In other respects the patient is not re-
quired TO change his accustomed mode of living.
DR.. Samuel l.. Mitchell, the distinguished Sur
geon of New York, speaks in the following words:
The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable yir-
iucc dSdlHop ~ PHdlin lHc pdtieHt SetS Well ui-
der the operation of the medicine. with incom-
parably less Inconvenience, without the hazard Of
a sore mouth or salvation, and with very little
wear and tear of the constitution. | consider the
introduction of this preparation into common use,
as one of the greatest Improvements in modern
medicine, and wish it was already as universal
as the malady it cures.
Other distinguished members Of the medical
profession have given testimony of the great
value of the remedy the statements of whom We
have in our possession.
Gentlemen we shall be glad to see you at any
time-we are always prepared to attend to your
wants.
