An aperient and stomachic preparation of
IRON purified of Oxygen and Carbon by com.

PIMPLES ON THE FACE, ROUGHNESS OF

The IRON being absorbed by the blood, and
thus circulating through the whole system, no
p£rt of the body can escape their truly wonder-
ful influence.
The experience of thousands daily proves that
no preparation ef Iron can for a moment be
compared with it. Impurities of the blood, de-
pression of vital energy, pale and otherwise,
sickly complexions indicate its necessity in al-
most every conceivable case. In all cases of
female debility (fluor albus, chlorosis, etc.), its
effects are delightfully renovating. No remedy
has ever been discovered, in the whole history
of medicine, which exerts such prompt, happy,
and fully restorative effects. Good appetite, com-
plete digestion, rapid acquisition of strength,
with an unusual disposition for active and
cheerful exercise, immediately follow its use.
As a grand stomachic and general restorative
it has no superior and no substitute.

I am now supplying tho trade with pure

The immense success that has crowned my e
place a pure genuine Gin within the reach of J
the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, agg
out of the market the pernicious compound®
Gin throughout, the country, led many leading
apothecaries and medical men, for some yeaiM
solicit me to pursue the same course in regM
article of Brandy. I should have complied
requests from all quarters long ago, but wM
from it by the fact, that owing to the exorbit^
of Brandy in France, consequent upon the sra
the grape crop for some years, there was no cl
my being able to import the choicest Brandy,
and sell it at moderate prices. Fortunately foi
grape crop for the last and previous year (and ■—
far thio) was abundant, and prices of BrandlHMi
fallen to the standard of ten years ago. The dura9H
Brandy is also seventy per cent lower, and I havelMH
made arrangements with four Brandy exporter^™
France, of the highest repute, and am regularly receiv-^
ing consignments of the best Cognae Brandy, which I
am bottling and selling as Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac
Brandy, guaranteejvith my seal, labels and certifi-
wv wk/w.vAx me, as the pure un-
adulterated article, and it will be found, when used as
amediciue, a beverage or a cordial, healthful and in-
vigorating. It has been a matter of universal complaint
that a bottle of pure, unmixed French Brandy wa« very
difficult, to obtain, and the purchaser, nine times in ten
was deceived with a vile manufactured imitation Of
all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brandy, from its high
price, has been the one article that mixers and sellers
have turned their attention to, and millions of gallons
of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annually through the land, and have been the primary
cause of murders, suicides, cruelties and crimes and
have send thousands to an early grave, self-destroyers
from delirium tremens, mania-a-potu and horrors names
unknown, until unprincipled men began to make mad-
dening compounds and sell it as the pure French
Brandy. r
The virtues of pure French Brandy need not be told
by me. They are known throughout the world as a
medicine or mild stimulant. It is as the French nation
poetically call it “Eau de la vie,’’the water o?lffe But i
this applies to it only when pure and unadulterated.
Nanafactured with the fearful ingredients that make a
good imitation it becomes a death drink to innocent
tens of thousands of our race. To remedy a fearful evil
I have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it, and
selling it as “Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Brandy ” lam
daily receiving orders from the drugists and apothk
canes in all parts of the Union, to sell it for medicS
purposes.

on their fiery
steeds with so much grace and seemingly
in perfect security, preee its indeed a superb,
sight. This exercise is so healthful as well
as graceful, that we cannot see why it is
not engaged in by all who have it in their
power to do so.
We learn with deep regret that some
of the growing crops on Caney, were serious
ly injured by the frost, during the late cold
weather. The planters have either re-plant-
^cd or are busily engaged in doing so, and
are determined to overcome all adversities.
They bear these misfortunes with good
grace, although such are well calculated to
greatly provoke and dissatisfy. But be of
good cheer, friends, for soo shall you gaze
with delight upon the rich staple covering
your fields with snowy whiteness, and
youriwell filled granaries will show with ■
unmistakable clearness, the blessings of a1
kind and merciful Providence. Your coffers
