Dr. Mott's Endorsement of Speer's
Port Grapei Wine.
The UlowiDZ, from the celebrated Dr
Mott ot New York, speaks wonders for
Mr. Speer's efforts to raise tbe Oporto
Grape in New Jersey:
I 62 Madisox Avextje,
New Yobk, April 11, 1878.
Mb. Alfred Bpeeb. Dear Sir ; The
visit which I made last year to your
Vineyards, wine-presses ard vaults at
Passaic, N.ajJ., satisfied me thoroughly
that the wflbea manufactured by you are
pure and unadulterated, and j the very
best that can be offered to the public for
medicinal uses.
Acting upon my favorable imprersions
at the time, I have since recommeBded the
Port Wine more particularly in my
practice, and am satisfied, with marked
benefit, to my patients.
There can be no better proof to tbe
doubting mind, as to the Wine being
made of tbe finest Oporto Grape, than a
visit to the acres of land coverea witn tne
vine bearing the luxuriant fruit. Wishing
yon success i in your praisewortny enitr-
prise, : .j .
remain respectfully yours.
