Harries, Cream AIe-Pure.

Lovers of Ale have pronounced this the most de-
lghtful beverage of the day, and Physicians con-
nue to recommend it for the cure of the worst cases
of Dyspepsia.
Its virtue lies in It's purity. Being compounded
solely of malt and hops its curative properties mus
at once become apparent to those acquainted with
the virtue Of either ingredient Its manufacture Is
conducted with the most scrupuous care, and it is
undenia5ly the BEST ALE manufactured either in
this or the cid country, at the present day.
It contains no intoxicating liquor or injurious
drug, and it will not intO1icste. During the heat
of summer it is the safest and most healthy bever-
age that can be used and produces none of the evil
effects caused by tbs use of distilled liquor.
It's put up in barrels for the use Of dealess; and
in kegs and bottles, for family use.
Price-iu barrels, ten dollars; in fifteen gallon.
kegs, Eve dollars; in bottles, packed in boxes Of
