IKE NEW NORLD' s GRAND REMEDY
The Old World has played its part in
vegetable medication. But the botany of
the New World is, as yet, imperfectly ex-
plored. One new and most important
revelation from that land of wonders
California-has astonished the scientific,
and accomplished such cures of diseases
of the stomach and bowels, bilious COM
plants, maarious tevers, nervous affec-
tions, and ali diseases proceeding from
vltlated condition of the blood, as have
never before been witnessed.
Before WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs all the alcoholic and mineral
medicines are rapidly falling into disuse.
They cannot resist the overpowerine evil
dence brought forward every day, of the
immense superiority of this medicine.
Not drop of any variety of distilled or
fermented liquor or mineral poison en-
tiers into its composition. 1t is a gentle
aplerlent, tonic, derived from entirely
new vegetable sources, an unrivaled
stomachic, admirable in all pulmonary
diseases and, in fact, as near to univer-
sal remedy as botanical discovery and
scientific skill can hope to attain. DR..
Walker considers it cure for all diseases
not organic, and really the great variety
of diseases in which it is successful seems
to warrant the opinion. Every family
needs such remedy. 1t saves pain,
anxiety and doctors bills. We know
what trouble it is to keep the bowels of
children ia order, and any remedy that
will strengthen and regulate their weak
and variable digestion must be domestic
blessing.

also that the Government Directors general
