Arc Oil agreeable ana palataple
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one of our venera-
bic md 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 unequalled as
purifier Of the blood. BY continuing
the use Of 4 wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for
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 ola 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 in
hamination from the face or BODY as
they progress in the puritication Of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as a bever-
age, they equal il, richness and deli
cacy Of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wiues-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 adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; of an
exqisitely delicate Havor-impartins
to the palate a soothing aromatic et-
feet, equalled only by it's purity and
richness.
The following letter regarding the
purity and quality Of this Celebrated
Vegetable Tonic, from the eminent
and gifted ply and chemist,
Victor <. Canning. so long and IA
vorably known in connection with
the French Academy OF Science,
speaks for itself:
Chemical La6ratory, ItIea Brouduuy.
New York, February 6, 1860.
Mr.. II. NJ. Crooles: Dear Sir
In accordance with your request OF
the 10th ultimo, l have subjected
sample OF your lnvigorating Aroma
tic Vegetable Stomach BitterS to a
careful analysis and find them to be
composed Of the essence of Aromatic
Bitter Vegetables Of ancient fame in
the medical world: Yet / have never
before seen them so we'll blended or
rendered so pleasing to the scEse OF
! taste.
The Spirit used in their 35repara-
ton i found to he pert.ctr v pure, and
as free from deleterious element as
that procured from the natural Juice
of the grape.
You doubtless had the assistance OF
experienced medical skill in perfect
inc so excellent a combination, rs it
rarely occurs that the bitter princi-
pie, possessing so much medicinal
worth, is rendered SO palatahlc.
Continue TO prepare Your Stomach
Rltters. strictly in accordance with
the formula YOU have already utLop-
ted, and they cannot fail to wain pre-
cedence over everything else OF the
kind within my knowledge.
! ! remain, dear sir, Very respect
full ' yours

Town lMPRovEMENTs.-We have heard
much complaint the present season of "dull
times" and "no business doing" bat as far
as we can learn, business has been as heal
thy in Auburn as any Mountain town in
California-and judging from the improve
ments constantly going on, we have right
70 claim that Auburn is a growing place.
Notwithstanding business has been dull and
money scarce, a number of new buildings,
residences, have been erected during the
summer, and others are now going mp.
On Broad street, Mr.. French has erected
handsome residence; and opposite, on the
same street, Mr.. Conkey has one, built in
cottage style. Near the Cemetry, on East
street, John r. Gwynn has built residence
very convenient in its arrangement-and
pretty in appearance. Besides he has done
much in improving the adjoining grounds,
by neat fencing, and the planting of trees,
shrubbery, etc. John M. White has built a
residence fronting on Union street, that
"ohoc Soou dPPCdidHCo' IueSe UuIluiHSS
are all we'll toward completion. On Vine
street near the Brewery, residence has
been built, aud is owned and occupied, we
believe, by Mr. Hlby. Chesterfield Jackson
has commenced house on Commercial
street. There are several other structures
building and to be built the present year.
Besides these new houses there are additions
and repairs going on-all showing that
there is permanence and prosperity here,
whatever may be said about business.
From gentlemen who have travelled ex
tensivelo over the State this summer, we are
assured that the business and growth OF
Auburn and Placer county generally, is as
great, if not greater, than any town or
county in the m ountains of the State. And
i is certain that the future of our town and
county is more full of promise than others.
