FL Vino Ca1alina.-The announcement
that has been so generally hcralded throughout
the country that an American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated Wine
Tonic is Il matter of no small Importance, and
will be hailed with joy by ull those seeking
pure and invigorating tonic; also, those VINO
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stlmulant
will find in tho III Vino Catalina, or Browns
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 tho regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t Is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
invigorating, the purest and best, and if impor-
tation continues ut the rates now started, 1t Will
take its place in every family in this AS well as
in the old countries. Its merits will make 1t Il
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Btters or common patent
tonic, will Mt least try one bottle of the Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will uso this Tonic, prepared from the pure
Juice Of tho Catalina grape, with Calisaya and
tho spices of Crylon, or IL bltters made or COM
mon whiskcy and bitter field herbs. This is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard dcbl!l-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives fresh
ness and appetite, not followed byan unpleasant
reaction.

will prevent it il taken freely IN time.
