We understand that our friend T. G. Robinson, No.

Messrs Rhodes & Vernon's celebrated ale We advise
all our steamboat friends to try it, as we can guaran-
tee that it is superior to any thing of the kind made
in the country and that 1t is destined to supercede all
other brands. For strengthening and medicinal
qualities it is highly recommended He has received
q large supply which meets with ready sale. Give
