ANTIFERM ENTINE!
What Antifermentine Is and Does.

Antifermentine is a simple, harmless prep
aration, free from taste, smell and color, That
that has the property OF stopping and pre-.
venting fermentation in all vegetable and
animal food. II is especially useful for pre-
serving fruit Of all kinds, retaining the nat
ural fresh appearance and taste OF the fruit.
Its use does away with labor, and makes
what has been hot, disagreeable task, a de-
light and pleasure. 1t substitutes for the
summer heat OF the kitchen, the cool shade
OF the lawn or piazza. Its results are never
doubtful when used according TO directions,
and strawberry short-cake and Peach and
Berry pi, $ can be had in winter as well as in
summer.
Its use is profitable and economical, for 1t
saves one-half OF the sugar, saves the jars
broken by heat. saves the fruit cooked away,
and saves the time and labor lost by the old
methods. One package will put up so quarts
of fruit. For Cider IL is unsurpassed. II stops
fermentation at any point desired, and pro-
duces a sparkling beverage like champagne,
and all that is required is to empty box OF
Antifermentine into barrel OF cider, and
after 20 days rack into clean barrel or bottle.
The question is often asked: sitiniurious?
To alay all doubts on that score, we would
say that we have consulted many of our most
eminent chemists aud physicians, and all
unite in pronouncing the use OF Antifermen-
tine as preventative a perfectly safe and
harmless preparation. The increasing dan
ger of using fruit put up In tin cans calling
for legislative interference in New York;
makes IL desirable for every family TO put up
their own, and Antifermentine comes as Il
welcome and timely aid to the housekeeper,
enabling her to put up without labor and with
small expense all kinds OF fruit Tor winter use.
