operation, if you want success. And do not let any one persuade you for the 

 smallest fraction of a minute that ferment, decomposition and rot will improve 

 it. Use it fresh from the cellar or ice-box, .clear or diluted, sweetened or not, at 

 meals or between. It can also be made into jelly, or cooked with apples or other 

 fruit.
