A New DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are "new departures" in medi-
cine as well as in politics. The latest
and most successful of these is the bold
movement of DR.. Joseph Walker, of
California, who has actually had the
etfrontery to produce Il Vegetable Tonic
and Restorative, without any alcoholic
basis. which is curing disorders of the
stomach, liver, bowels, nerves and pull,
monary organs, with Il rapidity that
fairly entities him to the anathemas of
the Old School Of Physicians, ard the
praise and confidence of the New His
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIrTERs may be
safely pronounced the most popular
remedy OF the age. When it is con-
sidered that this now famous specific was in
troduced some two years ago, its present sale,
which is at the rate of 3,0O0.00O bottles per
annum, can only be ascribed to its intrinsic
merits. 1t is believed that the history of
'patent medicines" affords no example of a
success so rapid and complete. The commu-
nty insists that this success Is thoroughly de-
served, and we have no inclination to dispute
lbs dictum. The Voice of the People, If not
exactly that of Omnipotence, Is generally the
voice of Common Sense, and as they have had
ample time to take sober second thought on
the subject, it may be assumed that in this in
stance their opinion is creditable to their
sagacity.-l Com.

years, named James McNeill, near

screams OF the wife of the murdered
man. Great excitement followed im-
