RANKIN,S-
BARBIER'S
GRAPE GINGER WINE.
BARBIER'S
Medicated Aromatic SehMNpps.

A BARBER has just received from Europe, n
IA Distlng Apparatus, on new and improved
system, expressly for the preparation OF Ginger
Wine and Aromatic Schnapps.
It has been in operation since the beginning Of
this month and works admirably.
ITS IMPROVEMENTS are To exclude all RESIN
OCS volatile matter hurtful to health, from all
liquids as well as to deprive them Of their INTONI
eating NATURE, thereby meeting the requirements
Of TEMPERANCE.
To those who have not yet used A. Rarbier's Prep
arations, would say that Barbier's Ginger Wine is
TONIC, INVIGO DRAFTING and APEEITINE and es-
pccally adapted for FAMILY USE.
Ginger Is It's sole BASE, and A. Barber would
scOrn to offer AS GINGER WINE n compound Of Is
sence OF Cinnamon, Cloves, Lemon and Cayenne
Pepper, forming q MIXTURE which has been per-
sistently advertised Us Ginger Wine in California,
and the other States Of the Union, hut which, never
theless, cannot deceive AnaySys, nor the most mex
perienced taste. With respect TO Darbers Medica-
ted Aromatic Scheidam Schnapps, every one knows
they are Diurc,ic, and prescribed by the Faculty in
cases Of DYSPEPSIA, GENERAL DEBILITY, neu-
trazinG banefu qualities in Water, and valuable as
an AID TO DIGESTION, where the coats Of the
stomach are affected.
Finally A. Barber does not deem II necessary ta
send forth his PORTRAIT TO the world but II any
one Of the number who have derived benefit from
his Preparations wishes to see HIM, he has only TO
call at las Washington street, San Francisco.

SCHEIDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS,

sCHEIDAM AROMATIC sCHNAPPs,
Which adultcrated compounds are intended to sell in
California against my genuine article.
My object IL TO announce that have recently es-
tablished an AGENCY IN SAN FRANCISCO for sup.
plying this State and Oregon with my Schnapps and
that hereafter will always keep said Agency sppl-
ed with large stock that respectable Druggists
and Liquor Dealers throughout California can always
sHri'ly tl.ra'srv~ Vt Trguar price, merely enough
over the New York Price to cost Of freight and
charges; titus avoiding complaint as heretofore Of
occasional scarcity and extreme high price.
II Is now many years since first imported these
Schnapps from the celebrated old distery at Schci-
dam, Holland. in which am Interested. It is -now
conceded that no Gin was imported into this
country which has approached my Schnapps in re-
gard to PURITY, IlEALTHFCLNESS and EXQCIS-
ITE AROMA or Flavor. This claim, and for proof
point to their universal popularity and the immense
and increasing consumption by all classes, north and
south, east and west, comprising the temperance pcO
pie, medical faculty, &c, to such an extent that my
establishment packing the enormous quautity Of
S, bottles per day, Is barely able to fiji its orders
- Also, Wnic's Schnapps have been analyze, by the
most celebrated Chemists, Drs. Mott and Deck, Of
New York: and others, who all certify that they are

A Brief Meditation on Ranks.
BY A BOHEMIAN.

| don't understand the hard times,
and the panic, and the failures, and
the tightness Of the money market,
and all that sort ofthing, one particle.
Why shouldn't | suspend, or break,
just as well as the Banks, / don't see,
either. The 3anksl Let me see,
what do tho Banks do2 Why they
get lot Of people TO deposit money
in them, on which they pay nothing.
Why shouldn't / borrow a lot Of
money, at the same rate :
Then the banks buy Railroad and
Telegraph stock with the money, and
issues notes to just the same amount,
which they also put in circulation
If they have five hundred thousand
dollars deposited in them, they issue
five hundred thousand dollars in notes,
and have a million Of capital.
Why shouldn't double my capital
so, tool
Then if they make five hundred per
cent. by their stock speculations,
where does itgo to3 Into the banks,
of course.
My profits should go into my pock-
cts.
But if they lose all their deposits,
by the failure of their speculations (as
often happens,) who suffers, the Banksi
No: the holders of five hundred thou
sand dollars in the Banks notes
Well, if did that; people would
call me a swindler. Now | would
like to have somebody who knows all
about it, tell me the difference be-
tween the Banks operations and mine.
When | learn that, ! shall know the
difference between a Bank and a
