SIX MILLIONS About two years ago,
DR.. j. Walker an old and prominent ply
stefan of California. discovered, by actual
experience upon his own system, a medi-
cine which may honestly be termed "a
boon to suffering humanity" Being a
combination Of herbaIistic extracts. pung-
ent and sour to the taste, and yet possess
ed of gentle stImulative characteristics
although entirely free from alcoholic
named it VINEGAR BITTERs, and despite
the prejudice existing among his protes-
sion, against all patent medicines, he deter
mined to brave the jeers OF his brother
practitioners, and give to suffering human
ity the benefit of his accidental discovery.
He did SO, and the benefits from its use
became known. The demand increased,
and immense quantities were sold, at a
merely nominal price. Its merit is told in
the fact that in two years over SIX MIL
LIONS of bottles have been sold : and still
the demand increases. Surely such a man
should be ranked among the benefactors OF
the human race
