We would call the especial attention of our req ders to that popular medicinal beverage,'' known as |" Bininger's Old London Dock Gin,'' which meets with unprecedented sale throughout this State. That this famous Gin far surpasses all other bottled Gins, which have flooded the country-all connoisseurs agree; while its extensive sale as Ca safe and reliable medicine for family use'' is flat tering indication of its excellence.
 From the long standing of this house A. M. Bininger Co.,, Mo- 338 Broadway having been established two years subsequent to the declaration of our national independence, it has acquired po- pularity and influence in the mercantile world that stand unparalleled. We observe, that not only the New York Press endorse this firm as being perfect ly substantial and reliable but they are endorsed by all the newspapers throughout the South as we'll as the North, that have had an opportunity to allude to them
