They are not a vile Fancy Drink, made ot Poor Until, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li- q it ors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers.' 1 “Restorers,'' &c., that lead the tippler onto drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine.made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and A IjIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con dition. No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FE3IALE COMPLAINTS, in young 'or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism ami Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil ious, Remittent and Intermittent iFevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Iiidnoys aud Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. ; Such Disenses are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders.Coughs, Tightness of the Chest. Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the oflspringrs of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and vigor to the whole system. FOR SK IN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal-. Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Bolls, Car buncles, King-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch.Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis. eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use ol these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting throughthe skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood purej and the health of the system will follow. Pin, Tape, cud oilier Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, gre effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKER, Proprietor. R. H. MCDONALD & CO., D r,, ggists and Gen.

You have had a good lime. During the past four, five, or more months, you have dreamed delicious dreams Hope, the siren, was ever present with you. Welcoming you with radiant smile In the morning, she followed you thrrough the toil and worry of the day, accompanied you to you to your couch and flattered your rest with golden anticipations. Your waking moments were more blissful even than your hours of re pose. How often has the town clock, striking after midnight hours, dis turbed you in the disposition of your property! What good follows you intend to be—how much wiser and better than all the mean creatures who had drawn the capital prizes before you ! So much for father and mother; so much lor poor relatives and needy friends; so much for ob jects of charily—the rest to be care fully invested so that you could not waste it if you tried ever so hard. And oh ! such a present for the sweet heart! The widow’s heart should leap for joy, and the orphan should shout with rapture. The pleasant surprises you planned would have made your own life and the lives of others a romance. Think of this and be thankful. Months of bliss, and only five dollars to pay for it all. Confess, it is the cheapest, sweetest and most lasting pleasure you ever had. Remember, too, that nobody ever did make good use of money drawn in a lot- LIFE’S PICTURES. A story is told of a rich landlord who once oppressed a poor widow, who was uniortunate enough to be his tenant, finally turning her out into the street on a cold day in Win ter. Her son, a mere child, less than a dozen years old, remembered the cruel scene, and in after years became an artist, and painted the scene in a vivid manner, p!a ring the picture where the landlord could see it, who turned pale at having his for mer infamy brought to mind so fbrei- bly, and oflered large sums of money for the picture, that he might hide it from his own and other people’s gaze. But all in vain ; he could not buy the picture, and tor a long time it remained at his very threshold, as it were, a silent evidence ot his for mer infamy. So has each human being an in- VL-ible painter at his elbow, painting on the soul’s canvas a record of the acts and scenes ol life, depicting the fifteen miles from B i.-ton, th passions of his career with an inten sity that at some future day will haunt with their truthful denuncia tions and biting rebukes. Happy fo: us, then, if such dark, sombre scenes are few, and their smouldering fires are eclipsed by fairer and more holy scenes, when we gaze back on the panorama of our past lives, and review our ca reer before entering upon another one of greater capabilities! Happy for us, then, if our race after happi ness, has not been a mere scramble alter riches, and il we had not grov eled so long in the earth beneath our feet that we have lost sight of the beautiful skies above us. Yes, hap py indeed if we had no haunting picture of glaring misdeed, or per verted aspiration to point its ghoul ish finger f*rer at us, or greet us with its sickly grin ot malicious torment, as we turn this way and that in a vain endeavor to escape its upbraid- Ko advertise- ns U 1 • “W ill the fellow who at a college sociable olilioe wealing the same in broad daylight.’* It is said that if you take two let ters from money, there will tie imt One left.
