Very Old SPECIAL WHISKEY sold as Draught Whiskey 1645 nnHE AGE OF MIRACLES hat gone, and the Age JL of Reason has taken its place. Where the ancients looked for signs and wonders, we moderns look for the best value for our money; and, after all. this Is the true philosophy. No man or woman will walk now-a-days who can raise the needful to buy a hike ; no young lady with any respect for her appearance will wear cotton when kid gloves are to be had;. and no housekeeper who has put to a trial every known brand of Tea will be persuaded to have any other than SURATURA. Its excellence ia ever a source of comfort to the debilitated, and its peculiar charm is that it encourages thrift in the household expenditure, and drives dull care away. Don't forget the GIFT BURATURA TEAPOTS, now in course ot manufacture; they are modem miracles. HUBBARD, HALL & CO., AGENTB, MANCHESTER STREET. OHBJSTCHURCH.
