ELIxER OF CALIsAYA BARK.

YNHIS preparation is particularly recommended to
Il persons of weak habit, and to such as reside in
low situations, where the nervous system is, in gen.
eral more or less relaxed. The addition Of certain in
gradients has so completely disguised the taste OF
the bark TO render this eicacious remedy, most
palatable cordia thus peculiarly adapting ii to
quer that repugnance which most persons expert
ence after taking for some time bitter potons, as il
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree
able flavor. As preventive Of the ague il has
superseded the use Of all other remedies, in such
parts Of the country as it is known. Prepared only
by J. Mihau, No. 1888 Broadway, New York.
Price 81 per quart bottle.
