PARTICULAR NOTICE.

There are many preparations sold under
the name of Bitters, put up in quart bottles,
compounded of the cheapest whisky or COM
mon rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per gall
lon, 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 cre-
ated and kept up, and the result is all the
horrors attendant upon a drunkard's life and
death.
For those who desire and WILL HAVE .
liquor bitters, We publis,sdreo that sotns. re-
ospit: Get one bottle Of A0lAw. '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 nu-
merous liquor Bitters in the market, and " i'll
COST MUCH LESS. You will have the yir-
tue of Hoofand's Bitters in connection with
a good article Of liquor, at q much less price
than these inferior preparations will cost you.
