for medicinal purposes, has been long felt by the
profession, and thousands of lives have been sac
tremens, and other diseases of tho brain and
nerves, 80 rife in this country, are very in
EuFSSp9 tSap oMng in great DEGREE to the difference

high reputation it has acquired in this country;
and, from your long experience as a foreign i'm
porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should
meet with the same demand
We would recommend You to appoint some of
the respectable apothecaries in different parts of
the city as agents for the sale of your Brandics
and Wines, where the profession can obtain the
same when needed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success your new enterprise we
remain your obcdient servants.
