Mr. J. Douglass Billings, Attorney and Counselor-at-Law, 35 Broadway, Room 44, writes : DEAR MADAME :- I have been troubled for twenty years with mental exhaustion, insomnia, nervous- ness, dyspepsia, sleeplessness, etc. Seeing in one of our daily papers an advertisement of " Vita Nuova," I purchased a bottle, and have used that bottle and commenced another. I find that my ailments are fast falling off, and believe that your preparation is giving me new life. Yours truly,
J. D. BILLINGS.

THURBER, WHYLAND & CO.'S
RESTORATIVE WINE OF COCA.
WHAT DR. WM. A. HAMMOND SAYS.
Before the New York Neurological Society, on Tuesday evening, November 2d, Dr. William A. Hammond called attention to the impuri- ties existing in most of the preparations of wine of coca, which Vitiated their value :
" I therefore asked a well-known gentleman of this city if he could not prepare a wine of coca which should consist of a good wine and the pure alkaloid. He has succeeded in making such a preparation."
" A wineglassful of this tonic, taken when one is exhausted and worn out, acts as a most excellent restorative; it gives a feeling of rest and relief, and there is no reaction and no subsequent depression. A general feeling of pleasantness is the result. I have discarded other wines of coca and use this alone. It is Thurber, Whyland & Co.'s preparation." (Italics ours.)
" This wine of coca may be taken by the wineglassful, the same as an ordinary wine : there is no disagreeable taste; in fact, it tastes like a good Burgundy or Port Wine. Taken three times a day before meals, or whenever needed, it has a remarkable tonic effect, and there is no reaction. The article produces excellent results in cases of depression of spirits ; in hysteria, headache, and in nervous troubles generally, it works admirably. It is a simple remedy, yet efficacious and remarkable in its results."
COCANIZED BEEF, WINE AND IRON.
For Debility and Weakness due to Mal-Nutrition, Dyspepsia, Difficult Assimilation of Food, and Weak Digestive Powers ; Anemia, and other Depraved States of the Blood; Hysteria, Spinal Irritation, Loss of Appetite, Chlorosis, and in all cases where a complete assimilation of food is required.

Considerable quantities of base coin are now in circulation. A copper one in imitation of French guineas gilt, are very current, they are dated 1752, are larger and thicker than the true ones, a copper coin washed with silver, are frequently passed for English six-pences, though they are much larger than good ones, these, with quantities of what are called coppers, but of a baser metal passing, should put people on their guard, not only to prevent being cheated, but to stop their circulation.
