We deny. in the first place, that the
word wine, anion.; toe exclu•
sively implied a beverage made of grape

it was not necessaiily intoxicating.
For 2 idly, the distinction of wines in•

In the 4.11 place, we will demonstrate,
from the materials and composttion al tlie,

inner Jewish authorities, in every place
;-;witere the -wurd-occui or, that its utmost SI

six iieercent:'sail that its average ott
was, in t Cases. actually much less.
We thus determine, also, a fortiori the
strength at the weaker wine.
in the sth place, we affirm that the

Our nriehbor of the Keystone is consii.-

Elliott never did, so lavas we,have heard,
back out from any !hill lie ever said ur
