Native wines
Sacred History abounds in allusions to wine,
and as there are thirteen distinct Hebrew terms
used in the Bible to distinguish vintages of
different kinds. condition and ages, Is evident
that the "ancient people" were no less partic-
ular in the matter of strands" than are the
people of the present day. The Greeks and
Romans had two hundred varieties, of which
the "Falernan" was the choicest; and the pro-
ducts of particular Vineyards were as highly es-
teemed in ; thens and Rome, as the Cliquot
and Metternich wines now are in London and
Paris. The wines Of antiquity were often vii
lainously adulterated. The art of "doctoring"
the juice of the grape is 60 far from being
modern invention that it dates back to the siege
Of Troy. Helen, the fair and frail, is said to
have learned the trick in Egypt, and to have
practised it for the sake of increasing the ex
hileratng properties of the wine she gave to
the defenders of the city after hard battle
with the Greeks.
The safest and best ofall exhilarents is good
,cine. Many physicians and matrons suppose
| we must have foreign wine. There is one
hundred times the quantity of wines exported
from France, Spain and ermany, than can be
I manufactured there from the quantity of grapes
There is but one sategard, and that is to use
our own pure native wines. Imported wines
now pay heavy duty, and bottle of real Port
or Sherry can only be obtained at high price.
| &c I,ty IN
fore, in the name ofpurity and economy, let us
have our own native wines.
Messrs. Bennett Peters g. Co., of Chicago
always have an assorted stock of fine imported
wines in US. bonded warehouses, from the
most reliable houses Of France, Spain and Ger
many, also, brandies, gins, runs, &C.; and have
for the past three years been making exten
sive preparations for the manufacture of home
made wines. They have the most extensive
arrangements with fruit growers, and in the
proper season they gather strawberries, cher
ries, peaches, blackberries, raspberrics, &c
&c, to an enormous amount. Their strawber
ry, cherry, blackberry, raspberry and musca
wines far excel many Of the imported wines
both in purity and exhilaratng effects Man,
of these home made wines are being largel,
aduterated, and many bottle of cherry win,
is sold, which never had drop of cherry juc,
in it. Buy none but those with the unmistak
able label of Bennett Peters d Co. Thes,
gentlemen are men of high responsibility, an,
guarantee every article from their house, pur
and unadulterated. z@
