SPEAR’S PATENT 
FRUIT-PRESEE¥INCJ SOLUTION, 
For the preservation of all kinds of Fi-«lts, Vegcta- 
1>les, Jellies, Wines, Cider, etc., Tvlthout Sugar, 
and without expensive Sealing or Air-tight Jars. 
One Bottle will preserve 138 Pounds of Fruit, or 4-8 
Gallons of Wine or Cider, Price.SI. 
CItenp, Flealtlifiil and lidl'octual. 
This Solution, when properly used, eifcctuall}’' prevents 
fermentation or decay of Fruits, and, by tlie most simple 
and ine.xpensive process, every variety may lie kept in a 
frcsli and perfectly wliolesomc condition the year round. It 
is flo new and uncertain experiment, but has been in practi¬ 
cal use for tlie past eight years, yet has lieen, lor tlie most 
part, kept from tlie public for the purpose of ascertaining 
the result of a scries of experiments, all of whicli liavc proved 
the validity of all that is now conlidently claimed for it. 
Fruits preserved by this Solution arc as good as tlie test 
“canned” fruits, wliile tlie use of tlie Solution avoids the 
trouble of sealing, costly .jars or cans, keeping from the air 
and light, frequent exaininations, and tlie many other 
troubles and annoyances well known to every liousewife. 
Fresli native fruits tlie year round liave become almost a 
household necessity, hotli on account of their liealtlifulness 
and as a luxury; ,and by the use of this Solution this great 
luxury is witliin tlie reacli of every family, ricli or poor, in 
the land, as all kinds of fruits may be preserved during pleas¬ 
ure at less than one-half the expense of any otlier method. 
The Solution is perfectly free from objection on the score 
of health. Prefessor Baclie, under date “ U. S. Naval Labor¬ 
atory, New York, September 14. 1S34,” says : “By direction 
of the Cliief of tlie Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, I have 
examined your Preserving Solution, and meats and fruits 
preserved by it. I have a high opinion of its value, and be¬ 
lieve it can be used in the preservation of those articles in a 
frcsli state for the Army and Navy very advantageously. 
The Solutioti is perfectly free from objection on the score 
of healthfulness.” 
[A. A. Hxyes, M. D., State Assayer of Massachusetts, says.'i 
I have been made acquainted with the principle 
adopted by Mr. Lewis H. Spear iu preserving fruit, so as to 
prevent change of color and subsequent fermentation, and 
have made some observations in connection rvitli liis process. 
Analysis proves that nothing is added to the fruit whicli is 
objectionable in articles of food or decidedly foreign in ori- 
.gin. My trials to induce fermentation iu tlie prepared fruit 
failed, and I am coiifideut that fruit prepared as he directs 
will long resist fermentive cliaiiges. 
[Theodoee Holt, a Practical Fruit-grower and Preserver, 
.says.l Mr. L. H. Speae— Zicor Sir: During tlie past season 
1 have made numerous and severe tests of your Fruit-Pre¬ 
serving Solution, and liave apples, pears, peaches, plums, 
quinces and grapes, keptlii jars in a liot, damp room, with¬ 
out sealing and only loosely corked, from five to eight 
months, which have never exhibited the slightest Indication 
of mold, scum or fermentation, and are called by those wlio 
try them equal to any they ever saw. 
Tomatoes preserved by your process proved entirely free 
from tlie injured taste of canned fruit, and could liardly be 
detected from fresli fruit. 
Although by your process keeping from air is not indis¬ 
pensable, yet it is advisable also to seal and keep cool when 
practicable. 
■\Vhile your Solution is evidently a most powerful .anti¬ 
septic, knowing well its composition, I belive it is in no re¬ 
spect injurious—-iu fact is as liarmless as salt, and must be a 
valuable aid to those who desire the liealtliful luxury of the 
delicious fruits of summer at all seasons of tlie year.

A combination of advantages that renders it emphatically

can ha cooked in the jar; the jar sealed while cold - com¬

of breaking from fermentation, or from heating or cooling
