Sold by our enterprlsing young friend, H.. E.
SLAi MAKER. This Brandy has stood the
test for years, and has never failed. as far
us our experience extends, and we therefore
give it the preference over all other BrandicS,
no matter with how many yjawbreaking French
titles they are branded. One-fourth of the
impOtent dyspepsia specifics would suffice to
buy all the Brandy to cure any Such case or
cases. In proof OF the curative powers OF
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In cases OF Dyspepsia, we can summon nun
bers of witnesses-One case in particular we
cite:--
\ hard-working farmer had been afflicted
with an exhaustive Dyspepsia tor a number of
years; bis stomach would reject almost every
kind of food he had sour eructations con-
stantly-uo appetite-in fact, he was obliged to
restrict his diet to crackers and stale bread
and as a beverage he used McGrann's Root
Beer. He is q Methodist, and then, as now
declaimed earnestly against all kinds of strong
drink. When advised to try
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In his case, he looked up with astOnishment,
but after hearing of its wonderful effects in
the cases of some of his near acquaintance he
used the Brandy faithfully and steadily: the
first bottle giving him an appetite, and before
the second was taken he was a sound man. with
a stomach capable of digesting anything which
he chose to eat. He stin keeps it and uses lit.
tie occasionally; and since he has this medi-
cine he has been of very little pecuniary bene-
fit to the dOctor.-A PRACTISING PHYSICIAN.

General Grant is now considerably
ahead of the field" and the ingenious
figuring of the anti Grant politicians in
Chicago who proceed on the theory that
Grant can not obtain sufficient number
of votes in the convention to nominate
him on the first ballot, and that the field u
always wins as against such candidate,
is apparently based only on the sanguine

the present writing General Grant 6
nomination appears assured, the only

the extremely remote possibility Sof a

Withdraw their foyorite while there is a
single chance, and with the almost certain
prospect of nomination. the proposition
to substitute Washburne will not be enter
tanned, If in any event not at present
foreseen, the Grant boom should receive a
reverse sufficient to render the nomination
of the ex-president one of chance, and
the nomination of either Grant, Blaine or
Sherman become impossible, the friends
of Blaine and Sherman would not unite on

edged to be heir to the Grant interest
