that has been so generally hcraldrd Throughout

take its place in every family in this AS we'll Us

and then decide for themselves whether they
will use, this Tonic, prepared. from the pure
Juice of the Catalina grape, with CnliSaya ana
the spices of Crylon, or bitters mado of COM
mon whiskcy and bitter field herbs. This is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard debiiI-

was given for all diseases Of the stomach and llv-
err while quinine was freely administered for the

made its advent and an entire new system OF
healing was inaugurated. The beneficial effects
