Ell Vino CataIina.-The announcement
that has been 80 generally heralded Throughout
the country that an American company has again
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 stmulant
will find in the Ell Vino Catalina, or Brown 5
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. l.: VIII
be remembered that impOrtations were made IN
1866 Of this noted brand, but in consequence OF
the high duty then demanded by this govern
ment the enterprise ceased, to tho regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
invgorating, the purest aid best, and Il lmpor,

take its place in every family in this as well as
in the old countries Its merits will make 1t
household article. and We hope that every one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic, will at least try bottle of the Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the pure
the spices Of Ceyon or u bitters mado of com
mon whiskey and bitter field herbs. This is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard deDlil-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives fresh
ness aitl appetite, not followed by an unpleasant
reaction. ~
