in
this
Treatise,
more
particularly,
as
the
greater
part
of
its
consumers,
who
are
the
sick
and
invalid,
are
led
to
believe,
(except
in
a
very
few
cases,)
that
it is
the
foreign
Tent
which
they
pur-
chase.
The
chief,
and
most
general
imposition
practised,
is
the
substitution
and
sale
of
British
Tent
;
a
compound,
manufactured
by
the
Rectifiers,
and
as
unlike
the
foreign
(which
is
from
the
juice
of
a
grape),
in
flavor
and
beneficial
quality,
as
can
well
be
imagined
in
two
things
intended
to
re-
semble
each
other.
By
those
cheap
sellers,
who,
may
be
supposed
to
possess
a
larger
share
of
con-
science,
Cape
Tent
is
substituted,
or
the
foreign
and
genuine
Wine
occasionally
disposed
of,
in
a
mixed
state
only.
RED
CAPE,
Advertised
under
various
denominations,
such
as
Cape
Port,
Pontac,

It
is
but
very
recently
that
this
Wine,
has
become
an
article
of
sale,
in
the
placards,
and
advertisements,
of
our
cheap
sellers,
and
the object
of
its
being
introduced
there,
is
not a
little
obvious,
to
all
acquainted
with
what
are
termed
the
secrets
of
the
trade
;
particu-
larly,
as
no
extraordinary
low
prices
are
quoted
for
it,
(except
in
a
very
few
instances),
nor
is
it
in
any
way
made
a
leading
article,
as
is
the
case
occasionally,
with
Cape
Madeira
and
Cape
Sherry.
The
adul-
teration
of
it,
when
required,
is
performed
by
the
admixture
of
that
proportion
of
Cyder,
and
the
