The firm Of s. Brown Il Co., No. 2l3
South Spring street, have been meeting
with good success in introducing in the
towns and cities in the northern portion
Of this State, their wonderful hair re-
producer and tonic known as the Cali
fornia Golden Age. MIR. Brown made
trip, visiting all towns along the Coast
to San Francisco and met with great
success. Many prominent gentlemen
giving the article trial pronounce it a
good article and believe that in short
time it will take the lead in hair
preparations. In several cases hair was
made to appear in the short space of ten
days upon bald heads, and In come Of
these cases the gentlemen were men Of
prominence. This firm is shipping
their tonic in large and small quantities
to all parts Of the State. California is
turning out many new and wonderful
articles, and Los Angeles is doing her
share, as the California Golden Age has
had its birth and growth in this city and
its sale has been very large, it giving
satisfaction in every case and is recon-
mended by many leading and prominent
citizens as being good hair tonic and
hair reproducer. The firm Of s. Brown
& Co. warrant their preparations to be
free from all oils or poisons. Send them
your order, II its only for one bottle.
Give IL trial; it costs but one dollar
bottle, or six for five dollars, and it is
cheap at that price to any one that loves
beautiful hair and scalp free from
dandruff. Their office and factory is
2l3 South Spring street. Los Angeles,
s. Brown & Co., proprietors.

Americans, more than any other ma
ton in the world, are victims of stom-
ach derangements. Thisis owing to the
hurried manner in which they eat their
meals and to the amount and quality of
food eaten, rich food being cheaper here
than in any other country OF the world.
There are very few Americans whose
stomachs are in a perfectly healthy con-
dition. Most remedies for arrangement
Of the stomach are offered in the form Of
bitters, tonios, ETC., which merely stimu-
late the stomach and afford temporary
relief. De Ravens Dyspepsia Cure is a
remedy that supplies what is wanting in
the digestive juices of a deranged stom-
ach, and is the only remedy offered to
the public that cures all forms Of dys-
pepsia, indigestion and hatuleney. For
sale at Littleboy's drug store.

An Anti-Immigration Crusade.

There are some indications that an at
tempt will be made in the West to inau-
gurate a crusade against immigration.
The complaint is coming from many
places that they are being overrun with
foreign laborers, and that the consequence
is a material increase in the number of
Migrants and idlers.
Several Western journals have begun
to demand the more rigid restriction Of
immigration. They complain that wages
are not only being depressed, but that the
labor market is largely overstocked, and
that the pauper population is being
rapidly increased.
1t would seem that the present restric-
tive laws, if rigidly enforced, are sufi-
cient. The bringing in of Chinese labor
ers is prohibited, as is also the importa-
ton OF contract labor and paupers from
other countries. 1t is not charged that
reasonable diligence is not exercised by
the government officials in enforcing these
laws.
The citizens of this country are all of
foreign birth or descent, and good mate
rial for citizens is still welcome to our
hosptable shores. We want as many in
telligeut, upright people as will come
here determined to leave behind the isms
born of injustice and oppression, and who
will become Americanized and assimi-
lated with our people. There is no room
for know-nothingism in this country now.
