egar Bitters are purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
tie Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
mia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked. "What is the cause of the

TERs?" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They arc the great
blood purifier and q life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovation and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as we'll as Tonic,

THE MARKETS.
Baltimore Market, Dec. II, 1877

TOBACCO-The receipts this week have
been almost exclusively Maryland and princi-
pally ground leaf, for which descriptions there
is still fair demand, though the market is less
active than it has been. We note sales of some
800 to 400 hhds Maryland ground leaf, mostly
taken for immediate shipment at within the
range noted in our report last week, but for
crop tobacco there is little or no demand, and
the whole market rather favors buyers. Of
Ohio we note sales this week of l25 hhds., 90
hhds. of which was taken for Bremen and Duis-
burg, and 80 hhds for home consumption, but
in Kentucky and Virginia there is nothing do
ing worth mentioning. The exports this week
amount to 1,725 hhds. We quote to-day as
