Ill Vino Cafalina.-Thc announcement
that has been so generally hcrulded throughout
the country that an American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated Wine
Tonic is matter OF small Importance, and
will be hailed with joy by all those seeking n
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stimulunt
will find in the FL Vino Catalina, or Brown 5
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. 1t will
BIZ remembered that impOrtatons were made in
1866 of this noted brand, but in consequence OF
the high duty then demanded by this govern
thousands who had learned its value. 1t is the
oldest tonic in tho world, and doubtless the most
invigorating, the purest ard best and If lmpor-
tation continues at the rates now started, 1t Will
take its place in every family IN THIS rs well as
in the old countries. Its merits will make 1t
household article and we hope that ovory one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic will at least try one bottle OF the Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic prepared from tho pure
juice Of the Catalina grape with Callsaya anu
the spices of Ccylon, or II btters made ot COM
mon whiskey and bite: field herbs. Ihl5 Is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard deblil-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives fresh
ness and appetite not followed by an unpleasant
reaction.
1t cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Costivencss,
Bilious Dc7angcmcnts, Cramp Collie, Flatu-
lence, Darrhp., DyScntcry Nausea, Vomiting,
Morning Sickness, Chills and Feycrs, Headache,
Nervous Irritability, Al;rlnia, Heart DiSc;'Se,
Diseases of the Kidneys AID Bladder, Diseases
of the Skin, and MI Ernptons, either CAUSED by
ether diseases or impurity Of the blood. As a
Tonic in Consumption, it has superior, of
which thousands believe themselves to have
been cured by it, use. We do not claim that it
will cure Consumption, but VIC arc sure that it
will prevent it if taken freely in time.
