MESCAL-
(AQUADlENTE De MAGNY.,

This delicious preparation, made from the
root of the American Aloe, (agavg), is the IA
vorite, and almost universal beverage Of the
inhabitants of the mountains of Peru, Mexico,
and Lower California, where the plant grows
in wild 1uxuriance. Their physicians con.
stantly recommend it as a stimulant, and
diuretic. in all diseases where such remedy
is indicated. One of the Proprietors, in tray
cling through Mexico and Lower California,
several years ago, had confided to him by
Spanish Padre, the Recipe for its preparation.
They now offer it to the public with the hope,
that its high reputation as remedy on the
Pacific Coast, will be infinitely enhanced by
its success upon the Atlantic. Its undoubted
efficacy in Gravel, Gout, Chronic rheumatism,
Incipient Dropsy, Flatulence, Collie Pains; in
DISTINCTIONS in the Bladder, Kidneys, and
Debility and in Exhausted Vital Energy-is
unrivaled. 1t is considered by the Mexicans
to he an absolute specific for scurvy.

satisfaction, we applied it to wheat, corn, pota-

wheat br oadcast, about 400 lbs. to the acre, in
Montgomery county, and narrowed it in, which
looks well. On the same farm, in this county,
we put in field of Buckan 49, which was as
good as ever grew on land; ABOUT 2O0 pounds to
the acre, of the Redonda, was applied. The po-

good crops as some of the Fertilizers that cost
us double the price the Redonda did.
