SPEAR'S PATENT 
FRUIT-PRESERVING SOLUTION, 
For tlie preservation of all kinds of Fruits, Vegcta- 
liles, JflUcs, ^Vlncs, Cider, etc., without Sugar, 
antl without expensive Sealing or Air-tight Jars. 
One Home will preserve 188 rounds of FrvU. or 48 
fiaUons of Whte or Cnler, Price SI, 
Cheap, Bcaltliriil and Eflectual. 
This Solution, when properlv used, cfieitually prevents 
fermentation or decav of Fruits, and, hv the nio^t siiuple 
and inexpensive proecss, every variety may lie kept in a 
fresli and perlcetlv wholesome condition tlie year round. It 
is no new au<l uueertain experiment, but has been in practi- 
ral use for the past eiu'ht years, let has been, lor the most 
part, kept Irom the piiblic for the purpose of aseerUaminv' 
the result of a seriesof experiments, all of which have provea 
the validity of all that is now couhdeutly claimed for it. 
Fruits preserved l)v tliis Solution are as good ns the best 
"canned" fruits, wllile the use of the Solution avoids the 
trouble of sealing, costly jars or cans, keeping from the air 
and light, frequent exaudnations, and the many other 
troubles and annoyances well known to every housewite. 
Fresh native fruits the year round have become almost a 
household necessitv. both on account of then- healthlulness 
and as a luxury; a'nd by the use of this Solution this great 
Inxury is within the reach of every faudl.v. rich or poor, m 
the land.ns all kindsof fruits may be preserved during pleas- 
ure at less than one-half the expense ot any otlier method. 
The Solution is perfectly free from objection on the score 
of health Prelessor Itaelie, under date "U. S. Naval Labor- 
atorv New York, Sepleinljcr 14, IRTI," savs : "By direction 
of tlie Chief of the Dmoau of Medicine and Surgery, I have 
examined your Preserving Solution, and meats and frnits 
preserved by it. I have aTiigh opinion of its value, and be- 
lieve it can be nsed in the preservation of those articles m a 
I'rcsh state for the Army and Navy very advantageously. 
Tlie Solution is perfect!!/ free from objection on tlie score 
of liealthfulness:^ 
[A. A. H.vYKs, M. D., State Assayer of Massachusetts, says.} 
I have been made acquainted with the principle 
adopted by Jlr. Lewis H. Spear in preserving fruit, so as to 
prevent change of color and subsequent fermentation, and 
have made some observations in connection with his process. 
Analysis proves that nothing is added to the fruit which is 
obictjtionable in articles of food or decidedly foreign in ori- 
gin My trials to induce ferineiitation in the prepared fruit 
Riil'ed, and I am connilent that fruit prepared as he directs 
will long resist fermentive changes. 
[Theodore Holt, a Practical Fruit-grower and Preserver, 
mus ] Mr. L. 11. Spe.\r— iJcnj- Sir : During the past season 
I have made numerous and soiere tests ol your Fruit-1 re- 
serving Solution, and liave apples, pears, peaches, plums, 
quinces and grapes, kept in jars in a hot, damp room, with- 
out sealing and only loosely corked, from live to eight 
months, which have never exhibited the slightest indication 
of mold, scum or fermentation, and are called by those who 
try tliem equal to any they ever saw. 
Tomatoes preserved by yonr process proved entirely free 
from the injured taste of canned fruit, and could hardly be 
detected from Iresli fruit. 
Altliouf^h by vonr process keeping from air is not indis- 
pensable, yet It 'is advisable also to seal and keep cool when 
practicable. 
While your Solution is evidently a most powerful anti- 
septic, knowing well its coinposition, I belive it is in no re- 
spect injurious— in fact is as harmless as salt, and must be a 
valuable aid to tliose who desire the healtliful luxury of the 
delicious fruits of sunimer at all seasons ot tlie year. 
Yours, etc., Theodore Holt.
