the
extensive
establishments,
these
placarding

have
become,
and
yet,
at

to
allow
of
splendid
fortunes,
being
realized,
and
having proved
the
existence
and
manner
of the
adulterating
practices
with
respect
to
Port

SHERRY.
Since
the
Pale

have
become
so
much
in
fashion,
the
operations
of
our
adulterators,
have
chiefly
been
confined,
to
making
up
their
compo-

to
advertise
and
sell,
under
