A REVOLUTION In MEDICINE!

What may seem almost incredible, is, that many
diseases hitherto considered hopeessly incurabo are
frequently cured in few days or weeks, and we
cheerfully invite the Investigation Of the liberal
minded and scientific 10 cures which have paral-
lei at the present day. i n u 'Lf lETllL
Our medicine is peculiar; by it the seat Of any
disease is directly reached and the equilibrium re-

Those who have suffered long from painful and OBJ

lief from advertised medicines; Those who cannot
be cured by other physicians
Are Invited to Use Constitution Life
Syrup.

DRAFT IN CALIFoRsIA A report has been
IN circulation that the Government Intends to
raise several regiments of troops in this state.
This statement has been denied b. several Of
our contemporaries. whether on good authority
or not We are unable to say, We recently had
a conversation with gentleman who lately
arrived from the army of the Potomac, and be
stated that before be left Washington the Gov
eTnment bad ordered draft of FIVE regiments
OF infantry and two of cavalry in California.
He expected that the order would Have been
received previous to his arrival, and was aston
shed to End that such was not the case. This
gentleman spoke apparently BY authority. and
we have ne doubt from the book We are in-
ohned TO tbe opIciou that the order has been
issued, and that the next steamer will place it
in ,be hands Of the proper officers. So the
Copperheads and Peace Democrats may pre-
pare themselves for the turn of the fatal wheel
