aration free from taste, smell and color, that
| that has the property OF stopping and pre-
| venting fermentation In all vegetable and
animal food. 1t 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, disagreeabie task, a de-
| light and pleasure. IL substitutes for the
! summer heat OF the kitchen. the cool shade
| OF the lawn or piazza. Its results are never
! doubtful when used according 70 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 II
| 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 30 quarts
! of fruit. For Cider it Is unsurpassed. II stops
| fermentation at any point desired, and pro-
| duces a sparkling beverage like champagne,
! and all that is required Is 10 empty box OF
| Antifermentine into a barrel OF cider, and
| after 20 days rack into clean barrel or bottle.
