Therapeutic
Values
of
Wines
Centuries
of
experience
have
confirmed
that
wine
is
a
marvelous
product
for
man
either
in
health
or
illness
if
he
makes
judicious
use
of
it
according
to
his
constitution.
High
medical
authorities
and
scientists
throughout
the
world
acknowledge
that
wine,
spirits
and
malt
liquors
used
as
a
beverage
are
very
beneficial
to
health
when
taken
in
modera-
tion
and
are
absolutely
necessary
in
many
cases
of
fever,
nervous
exhaustion,
debility
and
con-
valescence.
Old
people
are
greatly
benefited
by
daily
drink*
ing
of
good
wines
in
moderate
quantity.
A
poet
once
said,
"The man
who
drinks
wine
must
nec-
essarily
have
more
exalted
thoughts
then
he
who
drinks
water.'
Wine
invigorates
the
mind
and
body,
and
gives
life
an
additional
charm,
but
temperance
and
moderation
are
virtues
essential
to
our
happi-
ness.
The
good
effect
of
wines
as
a
food
is
due
to
their
stimulating
operation
on
the
nervous
sys-
tem
and
muscular
lining
of
the
stomach,
by
which
the
same
is
excited
to
greater
action
and
produces
a
healthy
flow
of
the
gastric
juices.
Wine
being
the
pure
juice
of
the
grape
prop-
erly
fermented
and
aged
is
without
question
a
healthful
beverage
to
take
with
meals,
and
if
those
who
drink
ice
water
would
use
wine
in-
stead,
they
would
find
their
digestion
better
and
their
general
health
improved.
How
to
Handle
and
Serve
Wines
Having
made
wine
culture
and
distillation
a
lifetime
study
and
profession,
with
experience
in different
countries,
the
writer
takes
pleasure
in
saying
a
few
words
regarding
the
proper
han-
dling,
conditioning
and
serving
of
wines,
also
as
to
their
therapeutic
properties.
