ELIxER OF CALIsAYA BARK.

THIS 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.
era or less relaxed. The addition of certain in
gradients has so completely disguised the taste Of
the bark, TO render this eicacious remedy, most
paatable cordial thus peculiarly adapting it to con-
quer that repugnance which most persons expert
ence after taking for some time bitter potions, as it
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree
able flavor. As preventive Of the ague it has
superseded the use Of all other remedies, in such
parts Of the country as il is known. Prepared only
by J. Milhau, No. 1873 Broadway, New York.
Price 81 per quart bottle.
