him to know the exact truth an 'the subject,

as follows:

.That contracts made after its passage
will be regarded as laving been raadepaya

Damocles, liable to fail at any moment, to
the destruction of ail cOthmerce and bligness;
and,will do more, to relieie the existing dou.

As Excarizsr Ittepremz.—One of the
most popular medicines of the day is -Iloof
land's Ger Man Bitters, which is designed to
keep the stomach and liver in a healthy Con
dition. The Bitters is prepared without the
rise of intoxicating liquors, and if a person
dAires to drink liquor under the fashionable
name of Bitters, he had best apply for some
thija,gelse. than Efooliand's. Druggists tall
us that the sale of this article is large, and is
constantly, on the increase,—that all who use
it are pleased with their excellent qualities,
and that they could ,not- think of keeping
store without it. In cases of debility or
prostration, of the system, Hoofiland's 'Ger
man Bitters will be found an excellent arti
cle, as well as for Dyspepsia..' •
16:wetland's German Tonic is acombination
of all the ingredients of the Bitters, with pure
"Santa Cruz Runt, orange; anise, &e. It is
used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in
cases where an alcoholic stimulaqt is re
quired. It is a preparation of rare medical
value, and most agreeable to the palate.'
