A NEW MEDICINE!
BROWNS ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER,

A VERY valuable preparation for persons
IN recovering fiom fever, or other diseases,
few drops imparling to the stomach glow
and vigor equal 20 glassful of brandy, or other
stimulants, without any of the debilitating ef
fects which are sure to follow the use of liquor
of any kind and it is therefore especially ap-
plicable TO children and females. TO the aged
it will prove great comfort; to the dyspeptic,
and to those who are predisposed to gout and
rheumatic affections, it gives great relief; and
to the inebriate, who wishes TO reform, but
whose stomach is constantly craving the nox-
digestive organs, and strength to resist temuta-
ton, and is consequently great agent in the
cause of temperance. For sale by
