Medical Value of Wines.

As a general rule the use of wine
is not necessary for young or adult
persons in good health, breathing
country air and not exposed to over
work. AS however, life advances and
the circulation becomes languid, nat
ural red wine used in moderation, be-
comes an essential article in many
cases absolutely necessary but it must
be pure products of the grape. And
even in the Eastern States the physi-
clan meets large numbers of town
people, especially women, who cannot
digest the food and drinks suited to
outdoor laboring people. In such
cases they resort to the beverage of
tea, which gives rise to a distressing
dyspepsia. The wines produced in
New Jersey, especially the Burgundy
and the Port Grape Wines from AL
fred Speer's vineyards, at Passiac, n.
j., are the more reliable and most
sought after by those who travelled
and know what wines are.

DEAR SIR,-I have used your So
cialite Claret and your Port Wine in
