Dr. J. Walker's California
Vinegar ,Bitters are a purely Veg
etable preparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs found on tho lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains of California, the medicinal
properties of which are extracted
therefrom without the uso of Alcohol.
Tho question is almost daily asked,
“ What is tho cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters V Our answer is, that they
remove the cause of disease, and
tho patient recovers his health. They
aro tho great blood purifier and a
life-giving principle, a perfect Reno,
vator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in tho history of the world
has a medicine been compounded pos
sessing the remarkable qualities of vnr-
bgar Bitters in healing the sick of
overy disease man is heir to. They aro
a gentlo Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases. "’ ■’
Tho properties of Dr. Walk

EAKLT INFLUENCES,
There can be no greater blessing
than to be born in the light and
air of a cheerful, loving home. It
not only insures a happy child
hood—if there is health and a
good constitution—but it almost
makes sure a virtuous and happy
manhood, and a fresh young heart
in old age. We think it every
parent’s duty to try to make their
children's childhood full of love
md of childhood’s proper joyous
ness ; and wc never see children
destitute of them through the pov
erty, faulty tempers, or wrong
notions of their parents, without
a heartache. Not that all the ap
pliances which wealth can buy arc

unfolding of childhood in body,

“In the conduct of one’s own busi

tastes of others. He has no right to
injure their persons, or chaiacter, or

them wrong, or commit nuisance, he
may conduct his own business in just
such a manner, and on just such rules
