J., satisfies me thoroughly that the wines manutactured py you are pure and unadulterated, and the very best that can be offered to the public tor mediciual use. Acting upon my favorable ression at the time, I have since recommended the Port Wine; more *particularily in my ractice, and am satistied with marked ~ nefit to my patients. There can be no better proot to the doubting mind, as to the wine being made of the finest Oporto grape, than a visit to the acres of land covered with the vine bearing the luxurant fruit.
