4 his thanks to the people Of Northern
iowa for their liberal patronage during the

peen before the public. The high price of
glass and other material used, together with
the direct government tax, has compelled
me TO advance the price of my medicine. This
necessity regret no less than the intelligent
public who assure me of their confidence in
the healing virtue of my bitters by the con-
tinuance of their patronage since the advance

am now happy to assure my customers
and the public that the advance in the price
OF my medicine does not go into my pocket
but is deposited in the government treasury to
do its part towards subduing the rebellion.
