CROOKES'S
Invigorating Aromatic Vegetable
iSt0nncAe Biiters,
For RESTORING & PRESERVING
HEALTH.
Prepared from Aromatic Bitter Herbs
UNDER THE AUSPICIES OF IN
EMINENT PHYSICIAN.
Are an agreeable and palatabl,
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
bic and eminent physicians during a
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bitter
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 nnequalled as a
purifier of the blood. By continuing
the use of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for
few weeks, they viii 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 in
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 Wines-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
