It should also be mentioned that it is invaluable for use as medicine (but not as a beverage) in the wasting dis- eases of children, particularly when they lose weight rapidly. It is conspicuously useful in such cases when the develop- ment of tuberculosis is feared. In opposition to a very general idea, it is the opinion of Dr. Garrott, confidently confirmed by Dr. Francis E. Anstie, in his interesting book, "Uses of Wines in Health and Disease," that the non-saccharine or dry Sherries are not productive of gout, provided they do not cause any dis- turbance of the digestive functions. Dr. Anstine claims that it is only the saccharine of alcoholic liquors which develop gouty manifestations or evoke the tendency of latent gout Port is a valuable medicine, and old crusted Wine a rare luxury. It represents nearly all the elements of a fine wine, be- sides being most agreeable to a refined palate. An old bottled wine when judiciously used, with its fine volatile ethers, is singularly useful in restoring strength and regu- larity to the heart's action, and for certain forms of anemia it is nearly always beneficial. A full flavored potent wine of moderate age retaining much of the richness of its original flavor is for such purposes the best agent, the object being to employ only such wine as will exert the maximum of good influence upon both appetite and digestion. In case of acute hemorrhage even an excessive quan- tity of Port Wine administered at the right moment has been found to have the result of resurrection from almost certain d^ath.
