The chief difficulty with reliable wines has been their scarcity and
exorbitant price, but this has been removed by the introduction of a
Pure Native Wine, produced from the Oporto grape by Mr. Alfred Speer, of
New Jersey. We understand he has submitted his Wine to the test of many
of our celebrated physicians, and all concur in its purity, medicinal
properties, and superiority to the best imported Port Wine. Most of them
prescribe it in cases of debility, affections of the kidneys, and
chronic complaints, requiring a tonic, sudorific or diuretic
treatment.—_Examiner._ Salesroom 34 Warren street; N. Y.
MALTINE.
This above preparation is attracting the attention of the medical
profession of Great Britain and the reputation it has acquired as one of
our best nutritive agents is recognized and established, as the
following extracts will show:
From the _British Medical Journal_, October 10th, 1878:—“At the late
meeting of the British Medical Association, at Bath, in August last,
among the visits of Pharmaceutical and Medical preparations, much
interest was shown in one called _Maltine_, which may be described as a
highly concentrated extract of _malted barley_, _wheat_ and _oats_.
“Extracts of Malt (i. e., Malted barley) are pretty widely known, but
this is the first example of a combination of the nutritious principles
of these three cereals that we have seen, and the greater value of this
combination is apparent, as wheat and oats are especially rich in
muscular and fat-producing elements. This preparation is entirely free
from the products of fermentation, such as alcohol and carbonic acid,
and is very agreeable to the taste.
“Clinical experience enables us to recommend it as a nutritive and
digestive agent, in virtue of its albuminoid contents, and its richness
in phosphates and diastase, likely to prove an important remedy in
pulmonary affections, debility, many forms of indigestion, imperfect
nutrition, and deficient lactation. It will in many cases take the place
of Cod Liver Oil and pancreatic emulsions, where these are not readily
accepted by the stomach.”
