Medicated
Wines.—
Dieterich,
in
a
late
issue
of
hi3
Pharmaceutische
Manual,
gives
a
number
of
formulae
for
the
preparation
of
medicated
wines.
Few,
if
any,
of
these
can
be
regarded
as
tipples,
but
all
are
peculiar
for
the
fact
that
the
wine
from
which
they
are
made
is
detannated.
We
give
a
selection
of
the
more
important
formulae
for
articles
which
should
be
salable
if
put
up
in
attrac-
tive
form
and
brought
before
customers
in
a
nice
way.
