What AntIfermentine Is and Does.

Antifermentine is a simple, harmless prep

that has the property OF stopping anu PIe,
venting fermentation in all vegetable ana
animal food. IL is especially useful LOT pre-
serving fruit OF all kinds, retaining the nat
ural fresh appearance and taste OF the Iruit.
Its use does away with labor, and makes
what has been hot, disagreeaple task, u ue-

Its use is profitable and economical, for it
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 50 quarts
of fruit. For Cider ii 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: Isit injurious?
To allay all doubts on that score, We would
say that we have consulted many OF our most
eminent chemists aud physicians, and ali
unite in pronouncing the use Of Antifermen-
tine as q preventative 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

small expense all kinds OF fruit for winter use

gar, in the proportion OF pounds TO one GAL
Ion of cold water, and pour on fruit, fillins
jars 10 the brim. One gallon OF syrup will
answer for 10 to 20 quarts OF fruit.
Cover jars tightly TO exclude air, and put
away in cool, dark place.
To preserve Berries, pack jars closely with
natural fruit, add one measure OF Antifer-
mentine TO each quart ION top OF fruit, then
