HooAand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUM, and favored
In such manner that the extreme bitter
ness of the Bitters Is overcome, forming n
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate, and containing the medical
virtues of the BitteIs. The price OF the
Tonic is sl.5O per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used Is
guaranteed to be Of a pure quality. poor
article could be furnished at a cheaper price
but is 1t not better to pay a little more and
have good article? A medicinal prepare
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dients, and they who expect to obtain
cheap compound will most certainly he
cheated.

The bed of the Mississippi river seems /,
be filling up at = rate which threatens in the
course OF time to seriously aiiec, navigation
during the dry season. This year at st.
Louis, while the surface of the water has
been four feet and one inch above the low
est stage of water attained by the river in
1865, there was at the same time only about
five inches difference in the depth of the
channel between these years, showing that
the bottom of the river must be three feet
and four inches higher than it was in ISIS.
So IN 1876 the bed Of the river was found to
be two feet and three inches higher than it
was ten wears previous.
