OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS,
Resulting from Disorders of the Dinestiua
PARTICnLAk NOTICE.

There are many preparations sold under
the name of Bitters, pu! up in quart bottles,
compounded of the cheapest whisky or COM
mon rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per gal
Ion, the taste disguised by Anise or Corian-
der seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will
continue to cause, as long as they can be sold,
hundreds to die the death of the drunkard
By their use the system is kept continually
under the influence of Alcoholic stimulrnts
of the worst kind the desire for liquor is Gre
ated and kept up, and the result is all tue
horrcrs attendant upon drunkard's life aud
death. ..-.s-. ...t
For those who desire and WILL HAVE a
liquor bitteIs, we publish the following re-
cepit: Get one bottle of Hoofand's German
Bitters and mix with three quarts of good
Brandy or Whisky, and the result will be
preparation that will far excel in medicinal
purposes and true excellence any of the ru-
merous liquer Bitters in the market, and will
co IT MUCH LESS. You will have the vir-
tue of Hoohand's Bitters in connection with
good article of liquor, at a much less price
than these inferior preparations will cost you.

Although not disposed to favor or recon-
