Thirty-fve years since they were first intro
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and benefited suffering humanity to
a greater extent than any other remedies known

Resulting from any cause whatever; prostra-
ton of the system, induced by severe labor hard
ships, exposure, fevers &C.
There is no medicine extant equal to these rem
edies in such cases. tone and vigor is impart-
ed to the whole system, the appetite is strength
ened, food is enjoyed, the stomach digests pro-
perly, the blood is purified, the complexion be-
comes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is
eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the
cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid be-
comes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life and feeling the hand
time weighing heavily upon them, with all its
attendant ills will find in the use of this Bitters

MATURITY OF WINES DIR. Dupre, in a
lecture on chemistry at Westminster Hos
pital. states in a paper on wine, recently
published, that pure natural wine may be
considered to have arrived at maturity at
The end Of from five to twelve years. In
that time, he remarks, the slow chemical
changes which bottled wine undergoes will
have produced their best effect; and after
that '.the wine no longer improves by
keeping, except to the taste of few would
be connoisseurs. But there are excep-
tions to this rule-namely, wines, unusu-
ally rich in quality, and those which are
fortified by alcohol. Such wines con-
tinue TO improve up to the end of fifteen
years.
