Are an agreeable and palatablt
lnvigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with 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 Bitte1
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 a
purifier of the blood. BY continuing
the use ola 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 of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying Influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they viii gradually re-
move every trace of eruption or in
hammation from the face OF BODY as
they progress in the puritication of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal III 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
exqisitely delicate Havor-imparting

LoUIsviLLs, Sept. 21.-The following proc
iamation has just been issued
Kentuckians: Called by the Legislature Of
this, my native. hereby assume command of
this department.. I come to enforce, not to
make laws, and, God willing, to protect your
property and yonr lives. The enemies of our
country have dared to invade our soil. Ken
lucky is in danger. She has vainly striven
to keep peace with her neighbors. Our State
is now invaded by those who profsssed to be
her friends, but who now seek to conquer her.
No true son of Kentucky can longer hesitate
as to his duty to his State and country. The
invaders must, and God willing shall, be ex-
PEELED. The leader Of the hostile forces who
now approaches is, l regret to say, a Kentuc-
khan, making war on Kentucky and Kentuc-
kians. Let all past differences of opinion be
overlooked. Every one who now rallies to
the support of our Union and uf our State, is
a friend. Rally, then, my countrymen, around
the flag our fathers loved, which has shielded
us so long. call you to arms for seifdefenee,
and for the protection of all that is dear to
freemen. Let us trust in God, and do our
duty as did our fathers.
