SIR, i 
“HE frauds praétifed by unprincipled 
' adulterers of wine, and the injury 
done to che health of the confumers by 
the poifonous ingredients * ufed in the 
adulteration, are very ferious evils which 
loudly call for redre(s. I have fomewhere 
heard or read a firiking ftory of the dying

them. Iam forry that I cannot recall to 
mind the particulars of ‘the tragic tale s 
but, as I have no doubt that many of 
your Correfpondents are better acquainted 
with them, I hope that fome one of the 
number will fend a more circumftantial 
account of the tranfaétion, to be inferted 
in your valuable Mifcellany, as a terrific 
warning to incautious wine-drinkers, and 
a ftimulus to our rulers to exert their ut- 
moft efforts for the remedy of fuch evils. 
If the firft duty of the governors be the 
protection of the governed, furely the in- 
habitants of this country, who pay fo 
ample contributions for the fupport of go-
