CALIFORNIA,

SAN Francisco. July 27.--George f,
Seward, United States Minister to China,
who arrived on the City of Toxic yester-
day, in an interview relating to Chinese
immigration, expresses himself strongly in
opposition to any legislation to aorogate
any provisions of the Burlingame treaty,
on the grounds of international and com
mercial policy lie says the Imperial gov
ernment at Pekin is apathetic and neither
encourages nor discourages immigration.
Mr. Seward claims that there is no danger
of Chinese immigration great enough to
become dangerous to this country. He be-
lieves tie true policy to be pursued is that
of negotiation provided for by the recent
action Of congress.

SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the letha gy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
iculary those suffering from the effects OF debili-
ting diseases. In order to keep q natural health
full activity Of the system must resort to artl-
cial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very efectual. A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it Is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact 1t assists the regular operations of nature,
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nq-
ture so much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
Of the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quant
ties Indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms
follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty
of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all Druggists.
