BUSINESS NOTICES.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common thatit in
| 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 Medica to. which our attention has
been recently directed. We refer to DIR. j.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIrTERs, q
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 the potency of its tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is spe-
cific 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 sf-
fects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is
compound of agents hitherto unknown. II
popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt
of the efficiency of the VINEGAR BrrTERs, for
the saleof the article is immense and continu-
ANY increasing. apr1-4wt
Hnsty Consumption Cured by Fellows
HypoPhosphites.
CARBoNEAR, NEWFOUNDLAND, Jan. 8, 1871
Mr.. j. l. LFELLows.-Sir: 1 came to this country
in May, 1869. found countryman of mine
laboring under some affection of the lungs
recommended your Syrup, tried at the Drug
gists in Harbor Grace, but they thought 1 was
inventing the name at their expense How
ever, in April 1870, Mr.. Edgar Joyce rapidly
wasted away with every symptom of quick con-
sumption, so that he was unable to walk across
the room, having no appetite, pains in the left
side, nervous system unstrung, dry, hacking
cough, SC. Fortunately learned that your
Syrup could be obtained at Mr.. Dearin's, in
st. Johns, and Immediately procured some
(showed one to w. H. Thompson, who ordered
a supply from you at once) This was Tuesday
afternoon; at night he took the prescribed
dose, and in the morning he described the very
results notified on the wrapper. His appetite
soon began to return, and voracious one it
was, too; the dry, hacking cough changed int
loose but violent attacks, finally disappearing
altogether; pains left his side, his hand assum-
ed its usual steadness, and before he finished
ten bottles his health was quite restored, and
to-day not more healthy person is to be found
on our streets; it is the opinion of all, had he
not been fortunate in getting your valuable
Syrup of Hypophosphites he would now be in
his grave.
He happened to be in W. H. Thompson's the
day your first shipment arrived, and took at
once four bottles to the Labrador, which he
was very anxious to do, but had not occasion
use them himself. No other medicine will he
ever prescribe, recommend or give, but yours
also recommended it to another consump-
tive, but have not heard from him since, as he
lives in distant part of the Island. Hoping
this will give you some encouragement,
/ remain yours, SC,
... ID. H. BURRIGB.
