 52 Norlh Market Street, Boston — 



A further supply of superior old Black Currant Wine, 

 made under the inspection of John Pi'ince, Esq. Roxbu- 

 ry ; an account of its astringent and detergent proper- 

 ties 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. Coffin. It is highly salu- 

 tary in many summer complaints. Doct. Coffin states : 

 ' Its use has been attended with remarkable success in 

 tlie early stages of cholera morbus and dysentery — and 

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

 symptoms of inflammation or febrile excitement had 

 ceased. It has been strikingly remedial in the low states 

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

 who for several years followed the Batavia trade, and 

 who had always suffered an attack of the severe cholera 

 which proves so destructive of human lile in that climate, 

 us;d 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, his mate, who had not taken 

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

 or two stopped its progress. We have not rooiii to enu- 

 mtrate many other morbid affections in which this wine 

 has proved useful. In sore throat it has for u,any years 

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

 per bottle. 



Tea Wheat. 



A FEW bushels of this very valuable variety of spring 

 Wheat is this day received, for sale at J. B. Russell's 

 Seed Store, No. 50'i North Market street, from the vicin-

 call soon, as the supply is small, and many were disap- 

 pointed, in not being able to get the Black Sea Winter 

 Wheat, from the same source. One kernel of this wheat 

 was discovered in a chest o( tea in St John, New Bruns- 

 wick, in 1823, from which the present variety has been 

 disseminated. See N. E. Farmer, vol. x, page 105 — and 

 vol. vi. page 82. Dec. 14.
