Treatise on Sorghum Wine, 
WITH 
A RECIPE FOR MAKING IT, 
Now offered for sale. I will dispose of Individual, Manu¬ 
facturers, County and State Rights. 
Sorghum wine has taken the country by surprise, not only 
on account of its production from this plant, but of its supe¬ 
rior quality. It has been examined at the State Sorghum 
Convention of Ohio, January 7. 1862, and highly commend¬ 
ed. It has been exhibited to wine connoisseurs in Columbus, 
Cincinnati, Springfield, Cleveland, New-York, Philadelphia, 
Baltimore and Washington. It has not only surprised them 
but received their unqualified commendation. It has been 
used by Physicians in cases of sickness with entire satisfac¬ 
tion, because of its purity and healthfulness. And dyspep¬ 
tics, some of whom have been restored to health bv the use 
of a few gallons, have given harmonious testimony of its 
beneficial effects. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
From Hon. William B. Hubbard, of Columbus, O., Presi¬ 
dent U. S. Agricultural Society. 
Columbns, March 31,1862. 
Rev. A. Myers-Dear Sir: The sample of Sorghum Wine, 
left by you with me, lias been submitted to several good wine 
judges, who tiave visited my house, and, without exception, 
has met with decided commendation. Most of them pro¬ 
nounce the aroma, or fragrance, of your Wine that of the 
Sherry, the minority that of the Maderia. It is certainly a 
fail-wine, and destined, no d—.>
