InVgorating Tonic, prepared from,

practice of thirty years, in the latter

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 a wine glass full morning

properties, and under the influence Of
their health-restering qualities, that

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

they progress in the publication ofthe

In accordance with your request OF

Of the grape.
You doubtless had the assistance of
experienced medical skill in perfect
ing so excellent a combination, as it
rarely occurs that the bitter princi-
pie, possessing so much medicinal
worth, is rendered so palatable.
Continue to prepare Your Stomach
