THE TESAcrTY OF TRUTH.-When a nation
as clear-headed as the Americans once becomes

FEW years ago, Mr.. Fellows ventured to
recommend a new combination of Hyphophos-
phites (FELLows' COMPOUND SYRUP OF HY-
PoPHosPHrTEs) to the medical profession and
the public, based upon the effect he himself ex-
perienced from its use; since then it has been
employed with marked success in the treat
ment of various debilitating diseases, and the
sale which was at first numbered by single bot
ties, has now reached large proportions, so that
it is impossible to estimate the good results
which have followed. Many cases of confirmed
consumption are known to have been cured, in
others the physical signs have disappeared,
while great improvement has been marked in
all. The inventor has yet to be. informed of a
single instance where Bronchitis, either acute
or chronic, has not been successfully treated by
it; while in other Lung difficulties, diseases of
Heart, Nervous System, and the Brain, it far
surpasses everything hitherto known.
Its freedom from the constipatinp tendency
OF many otherwise valuable remedies, makes
it obviously adapted to wide range of diseases.
1t is pleasing to note chemical preparation
emanating from provincial town. prescribed

BUSINESS NOTICES.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common thatit ia
almost impossible for an editor to express his
honest opinion Of the merits of any article
without being suspected of interested motives.
This fact, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think of new addition to the
Materia Medca to. which our attention has
been recently directed. We refer to DIR. j.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs. a
remedy which is making its way into more
families just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together There seems to be no
question about thepotency of its tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a spe-
cifc for Indigestion, Billiousness, 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, it has no
equal. 1t is stated that its ingredients, lob
tanned from the wilds of California; are new
to the medical world; and its extraordinary eff
fects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is
a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If
popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt
of the efficiency of the VINEGAR BITTERs, for
the saleof the article is immense and continu-
ally increasing. apr1-4wt
