CROOKES'S
Invigorating Aromatic Vegetable
StOsrechc Bitters,
For RESTORING & PRESERVING
HEALTH.
Prepared from Aromatic Bitter Herbs
UNDER THE AUSPlCIES or An
EMINENT PHYSICIAN.
Are an agreeable and palatablt
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
BILE and eminent physicians during
practice of thirty years, in the latter
part of which he used those Bite,
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment Of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood.
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequa]led as a
purifier of the blood. By continuing
the use Of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs OF their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace Of eruption or III
hammation from the face or BODY as
they progress in the publication Of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy Of flavor the finer grades Of
choice Champagne Wincs-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
when felt in the good work of purify
ing and invigorating.
For the use of old and young of
both sexes they are admirably y adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; Of an
exqisitely delicate havor-imparting
to the palate soothing aromatic eff
feet, equalled only by its purity and
richness.
The following letter regarding the
purity and quality Of this Celebrat Il
Vegetable Tonic, from the eminent
and gifted physician and chemist,
Victor +. Canning, SO long and ia
vorably known III connection with
the French Academy Of Science,
speaks for itself:
Chemical Ladratory, West Broadray,
New York, February 6, 1860.
Mr.. II. NJ. Crookes: Dear Sir
In accordance with your request of
the 10th ultimo, l have subjected
sample of your Invigorating Aroma
tic Vegetable Stomach Bitters to IL
careful analysis and find them to BE-
composed Of the essenee Of Aromatic
Bitter Vegetables of ancient fame III

before seen them so we'll blended o,
rendered SO pleasing to the sense OF
taste.
The Spirit used in their prepara
ton l found to be- perfect y pure, and
as free from deleterious element as
that procured from the natural juice
of the grape.
You doubtless had the assistance o.
experienced medical skill in perfect
ing so excellent combination, ;,s i

pie, possessing so much medicinal
: worth, is rendered so palatable.
