parties in Stonington, Conn.,, have recently been
prosecuted for selling adulteEated wines and
liquors. Samples of their stuff were submit
TED to Professor Sillimsn, OF Yale College, the
State chemist, and the following is the result of
his analysis of what was sold for port wine: The
liquor was turbid, heavily laden with sugar or
molaSses and some coloring matter; contained
p per cent of alcohol; over 10 per cent of sugar
or mOla>Ses; about 100 grains of sulphuric acid
10 the gallon, part OF IL Free oil of vitrol and
part combined in alum, OXIDE of lead, or
Htlarge, in poisonous Quantities, or about As
grains TO the gallon. The alcohol had an acid
taste. and the cOlOring matter an offensive odor.
The liquor was stronger Of lead than most
waters that are poisoned by it.

age without advertising, Is Ike using q dull
tool, and the merchant who tries II is, general

thousand who adyertises literally and judici0us-

who never succeed at all, merely because they
have not the pluck 10 spend a portion of their
profits in mak1g known to purchasers their
