much we owe to California ! Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands
of our fellOw-citizens, and have proved
the main stay of America in times of

ment to myriads of mechanics and labor
ers. She is the land of promise to the

principles contained in this curative are
a more precious boon than gold. In all
affections of the liver and stomach, re-
mittent and intermittent fevers, rheu-
matism, and pulmonary diseases, it may
be relied upon. As blood depurent
and invigorant it is unegualled. purify
ing the circulation and infusing new
vigor into the debilitated frame. 1t
conquers that most unyielding of all
complaints, dyspepsia, and we know of
no other remedy that can accomplish
this. Its entire fire, dom from alcoholic
spirit, which retards and neutralizes the
effect of any medicine, and which forms
the. basis of many of the pseudo bitters
and tonics, dOubly enhances it's value to
the sick. The papers of the United
States vie with one another in doing
honor to DR.. Walker. We, too, add
our voice, and say all honor to the man
whose science and skill have enabled
him to draw from the vegetable kingdom
such balsam for human suffering.
