Black Currant JJ'ine. 



Just received at J. B. Russell's Seed Store, Nos. 51 Sr 

 52 North Market Street, Boston- 



A furlher supply of superior old Black Currant Wine, 

 made under the inspection of John Prince, Esq. Roxbu- 

 ry ; an account of its astringent and detergent proper- 

 lies in various complaints, will be found in the N. E. 

 Farmer, vol. 5, page 267, written by S. W. Pomeroy, 

 Esq. and the late Doct. J. G. Coffi.r. It is highly salu- 

 tary in many summer complaints. Duct. Coffin states : 

 ' Its use has been attended with remarkable success in 

 the earlv stages of cholera morbus and dysentery — and 

 again also in the later stages of these diseases, after the 

 ."ynrptoms of inflamm^ilion or febrile excitement hai 

 ceased It has been strikingly remedial in the low states 

 of typhoid and bilious fever. The lale Capt. Gilchrist, 

 who for several years lollowed the Batavia trade, and 

 who had always s'utfered an a(tack of the severe cholera 

 which proves so destructive of human life in that climate, 

 used to say that after he had this wine with him, and 

 took two glasses of it every morning, he escaped the 

 disease. On one voyage. Iris mate, who had not taken 

 the wine, was seized with this complaint, when a bottle 

 or two slopped its progr-ess. We have not room to enu- 

 merate m.rny other morbid affections in which this wine 

 has proved useful. In soi-e throat it has for iiany years 

 been considered almost a specific remedy.— Price 75 cts. 

 per bottle. Aug. 3.
