rpn/S Medicinal beverage is warranted not only
J_ pure from any injurious property and ingre-
dient, but of the very best possible quality. Its
great reputation is derived from its purity and de-
licious flavor. Its great utility as a medicine in all
cases of obstruction in the
Kidneys and Bladder, Dyspepsia,
Gout and Rheumatism, Incipi- ^
ent Dropsy, Colic, Pain of
the Stomach nnd Bowels.
In general debility, sluggish circulation of the
blood, and exhausted vital energy, is acknowledged
to have no equal. To travellers and others it is
invaluable and indispensably necessary, dispelling
the annoyances frequently engendered by change
of water. Sec., as also ague, fever and malaria of
every description.
The certificates of over four thousand Physicians
in England, and the United States proclaim its
merits.
The genuine Booth Sc Sedgwick's London Cor-
dial Gin can be had of C. ENNIS & CO.,

Messrs. Simpson Brothers, Gents:—I have anal-
ysed your Booth Sc Sedgwick's Medicated London
Gin, an J find that it contains not only the ingredi-
ents usually found in the beat kinds of Gin, but also
other vegetai le matter which renders it more medi-
cinal and wholesome than the articles generally
sold under the name of Gin.

Coleman's Patent Premium Undu
dulatoryCorn and Flouring IVIills
THESE Mills have been before the Southern pub
lie for several years, and are so universally
popular; tfiat no other make of Mills presume to
compete with them for good and fast grinding.
In addition to the patent under which these Mills
have been constructed, bearing date October 1,185S),
the proprietor has added to their excellence by a
late improvement in the dress of the stone, for which
Letters Patent were issued to him, bearing date Oc-
tober 7,1856, which improvement will be placed on
etch Mill hereafter manufactured, with the fodow-
ing tariff (for Patent.) on each Mill, viz: On the
smallest size. 14 inches in diameter. FIVE;DOL-
LARS, and on each additional inch above 14inches
ONE DOLLAR per inch up to the largest size Mill
Mnnufactured, (i. e. IW inches «n diameter,) which
size on his plan of construction, aud with his im-
proved PATENT TANGENTIAL REVERSED
CURVED CONCENTRIC Mill Stone Dress, above
referred to. will grind a greater quantity in any
given time than has ever been attained by any other
Mill ofany size or diameter. This improved dress
is also applicable to any other make of Mills where
Stone or French Burrs are used for a grinding sur-
face, and will greatly increase, their capacity for
good and fast grinding.
The right for using t)iis new dress on otiicr make
of mills will be twenty-five dollars. Twenty-five
dollars, for the smallest size Mills, with the addi-
tion ot ONE DOLLAR per inch on any given diam
eter shove 14 inches.
The proprieter having made permanent arrange
ments with the most extensive and reliable firm in
France, Messrs, Roger, Fills Sc Co., to keep him
constantly supplied with the best quality of FRENCH
BURR STONES,from thesmallest size to the larg-
est diameter, (30 inches,> and each stone in one sol-
id block, he can give the fullest guarrartee to pur
chasers of the superiority of Burrs used in the Cole-
man Mills

tion wanted in relation thereto, can be obtained by

Some of the cures perf.irmea r>y this Liniment are
truly wonderful Mrs Hempstead, living on Wash-
ngton avenue, St Louis, had'been. for several years
confined to her bed by Rheumatism, and during a
great portion of the time, suffered untold agony
from neuralgia of the face. After vainly endeavor-
ing to get relief from the prescriptions of many emi-
nent physicians, and using a score of bpttles of the
various nostrums, advertised to cure these diseases
she was induced by % friend to try the Arctic Lini-
ment,and the result was almost magical. Before she
had used a whole bottle,her pains were entirely gone
and by tbe time she had used six bottles, she was
completely restored to health. A whole Journal
might be filled with cures as wonderful as this, but
one is sufficient to establish the fact that the Arctic
Liniment will cure, when everything else fails. It
in **a nalin for every wound,*' and thousands who
have tested its virtues, now rejoice it freedom from
pain and disease.
It is also a sovereign remedy for nearly all dis
