Ell Vino CataIlna.-The announcement
that has been so generally heralded throughout

commenced importing this celebrated Wine
will be hailed with joy by all those seeking a
pure and invigorating tonic; also, those who
need pure pleasant and refreshing stimulant
will find in the Fl Vino Catalina, or Brown s
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want 1t will
be remembered that importations were made IN
1866 of this noted brand, but in consequence Of
the high duty then demanded by this govern
mcnt, tho enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t Is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
invigorating the purest and bost, and If lmpor..
tatiOn continues at the rates now started, 1t Will
take its place in every family in this MS well as
in the old countries Its merits will make it
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Bittors or common patent
tonic will at least try ono bottle ofth Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, l.epared from the pure
juice Of the Catalina grape, with Csllsaya ana
the spices of Ccylon, or bitters made Of COM
mon whskey and bitter field horbs. This is an
invaluable preparation for weakness acd debll-
