Medical EsOiSOns on the Wane

The patriarchs took no mercury, no
bismuth, no iodine, no bromide of potass-
ium, no strychoria, no quinine. Happy
old gentlemen they didn't even know
Of the existence of these specifies" and
yet they lived until it seemed as if Death
had forgotten them. Their medicines
were herbs and roots. They have left
this fact on record, and the world seems
to be now taking note of it and returning
to the first principles of medication. =
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the purest
and most etficacious vegetable restorative
Of the day, is also the most popular.
Thousands of persons who few years
ago believed in all the poisons in the med
ical pharmacepa, now pronounce this in
fallible tonic and eXpectorant an all-suffi-
cient remedy for dyspepsia, nervous de-
billy constipation, bilious complaints,
headache, intermittent tevers, and all the
ordinary disturbances of the stomach,
the liver. the discharging organs and the
brain. The time is not far distant when
most of the powerful and venomous drugs
now so reck lessly administered by physi-
clans administered by practitioners of the
",heroic" " school, in cases that might cas-
lily be controlled by mlder treatment,
will be utterly discarded by all philosoph-
ical physicians. AS it is, the thinking
public, who are generally ahead of the
professionals, have already put the dan
gerous preparations aside and adopted
Hostetter's Bitters in their stead as a safe
and excellent household medicine, adapt
ed to almost every ailment except the or
ganic and deadly contagious Diseases
For more than twenty years this famous
restorative and preventative has been an
nually strengthening its hold upon the
public confidence, and it now takes the
lead of every advertised medicine manu-
factured in this country.

A STRANGERS OPINIoNs.-Mr. G. 7.
Bartlett, an experienced and practical
miner, who is interested in claims and
water bitches at Gold Run, Placer coun-
ty, came here with number of others to
take look at Trinity county. After two
or three weeks Of earnest investigation,
he gave us his views to the effect that
within the next ten years Trinity county
would be the first hydraulic mining coun-
ty in California. From conversation with
him and others of experience in such
matters, we gather that the gravel depos-
its of this county are equally as extensive
as those of Nevada, Placer, Yuba and
other counties, and that they universally
prospect better. Mr.. Bartlett also in
forms us that bitches can be dug and
kept in repair here with as little, if not
less, expense as in any other county al
so that water can be brought to the mines
and sold at four cents per inch with prof
it. He returned to Gold Run this week,
but will undoubtedly return, as he went
away very favorably impressed with
Trinity as hydraulic mining section.

PARTIES desiring to enjoy peace and
quiet OIL the approaching Anniversary of
our National Independence. are respect
fully invited to visit Weavervile and
spend the day in bed. Our City Fathers
have not found it necessary to issue an
order prohibiting the firing of bombs,
ETC., as is the case in San Francisco, for
there is not energy enough in town to
touch match to q fre-cracker, even in
commemoration of such an event as the
Declaration of Independence. 1t is pro-
posed to saw-dust the streets and side
walks, steal the hotel gongs, Danish cry
ing babies, and take such other precau-
tions as may be necessary to keep people
from being deceived into the belief that
there is any life left in Weavervile on
public occasions. We are led to this
conclusion by the fact that no steps have
yet been taken toward getting up cele-
bration of any kind, and if there was any
public spirit in the village it would GER
tainly have manifested itself before this
time,

TRINITY CENTER.-We were pleased
this week to make the acquaintance of
Mr.. f. II. Loring, of the firm of Rum
felt d Loring, Trinity Center. From
him we learn that the prospects in that
section are very favorable, particularly
at the cinnabar mines where prospecting
is being carried on extensively. Consid-
cradle quantities of ore have already been
taken out ard it is said from one of the
mines ton day to the man can be got
ten out. The prospects of the ciunabar
mines there seem to indicate that they
are the richest in the world, and there
can be no doubt but that they will be
extensively worked. AS at present reach
ed these mines are twenty-four miles
from Trinity Center, but it is the inten-
tion of parties interested to build road
down the East Fork of Trinity river,
from the mines to the town, which will
be only fourteen miles in length.

MORE BAD LUCK.-Levi Day return

with $4O0 span of horses which he had

while driving them, one became unruly,
reared and fell back with such force as to
break one of the thigh bones, necessitat-
ing the shooting of the horse. In the
matter of accidents and losses with horses
and mules Mr.. Day has been very unfor-
tunate of late.

MILLIONS on RI STRIKE In spite of
the enormous amount of capital invested
in the promotion of ~Intemperance, the
Missionaries of Sobriety have no reason
to be disheartened. The strike against
alcoholic drinks is not confined to the
ordinary liquors of commerce. II is ex-
tending to all medicines of which ardent
spirits form a component part. The
belief that stimulants of this nature are
stOW poisols gains ground everywhere.
Eminent psychologists preach the doc
trine, and the dissecting knife and the
microscope afford post naO,tem evidence
Of its truth. Fortunately at the very
time when our distinguished surgeons
were making the experiments which led
to this conclusion, a sagacious member
of the profession, DR.. Joseph Walker, of
California, was perfecting n vegetable
tonic, possessing all the restorative prop
critics claimed for the spirituous astrin-
gents, and free from their deadly sting.
To those demoralizing, health destroying
potions his famous VINEGAR BrrrERs
seem to be giving the coup de grace.
The demand for them declines, while the
commercial and sanitary success of the
new medicine is complete. And we hear
daily of cases of dyspepsia, bi~liousness,
malarious fever, rheumatism, constipa-
ton, general and local debility, CONT,
kidney disease, etc, etc, that have sue
cumbed to the great restorative after
resisting all Others. ICON.
