The GREAT MEDICINAL DRINK OF THE


ACE!


CROOKES'S


Invigorating Aromatic Vegetable


St0nnocAe Bitte7s,


For RESTORING & PRESERVING


HEALTH.


Prepared from Aromatic Bitter Herbs,
UNDER THE AUSPICIES or An


EMINENT PHYSICIAN.


Are an agreeable and palatable
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, COM
bined with Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
BILE and eminent physicians during a
practice of thirty years, in the latter
part of which he used those Bitter
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood.


They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as
purifier of the blood. By continuing
the use of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs Of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.


From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace Of eruption or in
hammation from the face or BODY as
they progress in the publication of the
blood.


Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
when felt in the good work of purify
ing and invigorating.


For the use Of old and young of
both sexes they are admirably adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; Of an
exqisitely delicate havor-imparting
to the palate soothing aromatic eff
feet, equalled only by its purity and
richness.


The following letter regarding the
purity and quality of this Celebrated
Tonic, from the eminent
and gifted physician and chemist,
Victor +. Canning, so long and IA
known in connection with
the French Academy of Science,
speaks for itself:

At midnight, on my lonely peat


When shadows wrap the WOOD ana loa'
A vision seems my view to greet


Ofope at home chat prays for nae.
No roses blow upon her cheek


Her form is not q lovers dream
But on her face, so fair and meek,


A host Of holier beauties CLEAN.
For softly shines her silver hair,


patient smile is on her face,
And the mild lustrous light of prayer
Around her sheds IN Moonlight grace.
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy fight
And begs that Heaven in mercy may
Protect her boy and bless the Right,
Till, though the leagues lie far between,
This silent incense of her heart
Steals o'cr my soul with breath serene,
And we no longer are apart.
So guarding thus my lonely beat,


By shadowy wood and haunted lea,
That vision seoms my eye to meet
Of her at home who preys for me.

The SITUATION IN KENTUoKY--The opinion
that generally prevails that the enemy design an

probably correct. Bowling Green is an impori ant

force, ard commands large portion of South

from Bowling Green to Columbus,s and hence

The VALUABLE NOsTH.-In case Lincoln and
lis administration choose with the South,
one Of the first steps in Southern enterprise will
be the issuing Of school books and other works
that have been copyrighted by Northern men.
From this source alone All immense profit has
been annually drawn from the Southern people.
Another measure would be the establishment Of
works for the manufacture of Northern patented
articles. sewing machine for which the Nor
thern patentee receives fifty dollars can be made
Tor ten. The Southern maker can sell for tven-
ty-fve dollars and realize enormous profit.
So with Colts pistols and Sharp's rifles, agri-
cultural implements and hundred other things.
And this would be almost as nothing compared
with the cutting up Of Northern commerce by
Southern privAteers. The Southern people can
stay at home and destroy the North. They nov
stand on the defensive. They await an invasion.
But when it commences they will strike the
North in every vulnerable epoint.-Narietta (Ga }
