THR BEST THING YKT.-We have recently
had sufficient evidence Of the excellence of Mr..
Speer's Port Grape Wine which not only con.
vince us That all we can say in its praise is
deserved, but that we are really comforting a
favor on our readers in advising them to use IT,
The wine is pure grape wine, entirely un.
mixed, and the most agreeable and delicious in
IN flavor Of any we ever tasted. OF its medici-
nal qualities, we entertain the very highest
opinion, ard upon the evidence of our own
ervatOn. Three bottles of this wine have
nearly effected a perfect cure in the case of our
little boy, who has been seven years afflicted
with ineontinence Of the urine A great mum.
Der OF remedies have been tried without benefit,
and the most eminent physicians consulted
with a like result. Speer's Port Grape Wine is
effecting cure. We have given this testimony
without the knowledge of Mr.. Speer, in the
hope that others may be induced to try the
virtue OF this wine.-Ar. Pangborn, Editor o
Jersey City Times. WAS
