PORT WiNE.-There have been at various
times articles introduced to the public under the
name of Port Wine, strongly recommended for
medicinal purposes which are calculated to do
more harm than good, having little else than the
name to recommend them. Such, however, is
not the case with the Port Grape Wine, adver-
tised by Mr.. A. speer, of Passaic, N. J. We have
seen his vineyard, and the wine in process of
manufacture, and know it to be the pure juice Of
the grape.
We have also been through his cellars, which
never contain less than sixty thousand gallons,

DR.. MORRILL, is admitted by the best medi-

treatment of Female Complaints, and it is no I'M
usual occurrence for physicians in regular prac-
tice to recommend parties to him for treatment
when afflicted with diseases in his speciality,
Ladies will receive the most scientific attention,
both medically and surgically. Board, with old
and experienced nurses, will be furnished those
