cither my Defign or Time allow, I could 
write a whole Book of different Sorts of 
Wines which might be made from the fun- 
dry Parts of this noble, Ample, and defpifed 
Shrub, which though the molt hated, and 
moft induitrioufly rooted out of both Gar- 
dens and Fields, is yet the moft ufeful 
and medicinal of all others to human Bo- 
dies; bountiful Nature having provided it as 
a Panacea , which affords Relief to the moft 
Difeafes we are liable to, and that with lit- 
tle Labour and Expence, which fhould 
make us admire it, and value it the more. 
Elder Wine differs in its Properties, accord- 
ing to the Ingredients wherewith it is made. 
That made with Raifins of the Sun is more 
fharp, thinning, cleanfing, moves the Belly, 
and opens Obftrudtions more ; that made 
with Malaga Raifins is more healing, pec- 
toral, foft, fmoothing and fweetening, be- 
caufe they are much fatter, abound with 
Oil and Balfam ; but that made of only the 
Juice of the Berries, boil’d and fcumm’d, 
and Sugar put to it and fermented, barrel’d 
up, well fettled, then bottled off, and a 
Spoonful of good Brandy put to each Bottle, 
is the richeft, ftrongeft, and beft Wine I 
i ever
