Editorial Notices are so common that 1t is almost
impossible for an editor to express his honest Opn-
lon OF the merits OF any article withsut being sus
pected Of interested motives. This fact, however,
shall not deter us from saying what we think OF a
new addition to the Materia Medica to which our
attention has been recently directed We refer to
DIR. j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, a
remedy which is making It's way into more families
Just now than all the other advertised medicines
put together. There seems 10 be no question about
the potency OF its TOME and Alternative properties,
while It possesses the great negative Recommended
ton OF containing neither alcohol nor mineral poi
son. That It is specific for Indigestion, Bilious
ness, Constipation and many complaints Of nervous
origin, we have reason to know and we are assured
on good authority that as a general invigorant,
regulating and purifying medicine, II has no equal.
IT s stated that It's Ingredients obtained from the
wtlds OF California; are new to the medical world
and its extraordinary effects certainly warrant the
conclusion that 1t is a compound of agents hitherto
unknown. II popularity is any crit rion, there can
be no doubt of the efficiency OF the VINEGAR BIT.

To ne Editor of he Commercial Ssslt
have just picked up your paper and read a
bombastic eulogy of Mr.. F. o. Hyzers lectures

description ought not to go unchAllenged. From
the face of the writing, suppose it will not be
denied that the design Of the Communication is
to advertise these abominAble lectures, and de-
coy innocent persons and more corrupt ones to
hear them. Take thiswriter' piebald assertions
of 'the audience who grace the lectures = " the
finest thinkers are there !" "a rarer amount OF
ability does not exist in this city than the speaker
and il is doubtful if il exists anywhere else. "
How ridiculons and from what have heard,
about equal to these lectures that so Disgrace
the Sabbath and the very name OF Religion
Now tina. persons be not deceived, let them con-
slider who this woman is what's the character
OF her lectures; how light-minded the audience
how corrupting the lectures and who Justice

hear such fal-da-ral, though il should be spoken
with all the smoothness OF the serpent, and the
