ABOUT OURSEL YES,

1t will interest our readers to learn
that as soon as the Pythian Building
is rebuilt the CALIFORNIAN office will
be moved to that block where we
shall occupy the stores formerly
used by Murray Clifford and Charles
p. Carpenter. This will allow us to
have all the presses and other ma
chinery on the basement floor and
the composing room and sanctum on
the ground floor. The building will
be completed about the first OF
October and we expect then to have
as convenient and attractive news
paper office as can be found in the
state.
1t will further interest our readers
to learn that we have bought a new
press OF the very latest pattern to be
used in printing the CALIFORNIAN and
for book and fine half-tone work.
This press will be ready for use early
in May, when the CALIFORNIAN will
be enlarged by the addition of an
other column on each page.
We would be ungrateful to our
many friends and patrons if we did
not thank them at this time for their
generous patronage by which we are
enabled to make these extensive ad.
1itions and improvements.

A TREATISE NERVOUS DEBILITY
BY DIR. SPROULE.

1t has been asserted that nine
tenths OF all diseases which atflict
mankind are attributed to nervous
arrangements, which nervous de-.
engagements are, on their part, mainly
cauesd by excessive and unnatural
excitement OF the nervous organic.
ton either as a whole or in part.
The various degrees or kinds of Ner.
yous Prostitution that result are alike
in nature, though their causes NAV
be widely different.
Thousands are suffering in this
way, scarcely knowing what the
matter is. Among the busy passers-
by in the broad thoroughfare of life
we can easily pick out those afflicted
with nervous debility; may be, a
young clerk, a student, or mechanic
but what a change has come over
MIN! Anew years ago he was child,
robust and stout, now thin and pale
he has not the busy characteristics of
a we'll man, but is listless in his man
ner, timid in his air. Once his nerves
were firm, his step was light and his
hopes were high. Now hope and am.
bitlon seldom find a place in his
bosom: his fresh vigor OF youth is
replaced by WEAKNESS OF life, even
while his feet are but on it's threshold.
his hand often wanders to his fore
mead, while deep sigh escapes him,
telling OF nervous exhaustion and
mind brooding over darkling
thoughts, Speak to him What is
the matter? He don't know, don't
feel well, has felt this way for some
time, he getsno better, dom feel really
sick, but easily fatigued, feels a lass-
tude OF body and mind, restless when
iatlgued and unable to obtain refresh
ing sleep, has lost energy appetite,
power ofenjoyment, frequently averse
to society, even of intimate friends, is
bashtul in society, unable to Join in
conversation, memory fails and all
senses seem blunted, often falls into
Dreamy fits of abstraction, brooding
over the past and hopeless to the
iuture-all the noblest aspirations
forgotten, which gilded the morning
OF his career and he cannot account
TOR it, and the doctor does not seem
TO do him any good, or to know
what is the cause of the trouble.
Poor fellow! A sad tale; is there no
solution Yes, his own evil habits
aud indulgencies to a great extent,
nave brought him to this condition.
thanks to the exertions of Medical
Science aided by the researches Of
many skillful observation-disclosures to
discoveries in chemistry,
ana to the light thrown on the cause
OF the disease by the use of the micro
scope-cases as desperate as the
ABOVE are capable of cure.
1t is not the intention in this bro
chure to investigate the numerous
causes and origin of Nervous Debility,
out to especially endeavor to arrive
at the true principles of it's cure.
10 these Investigations we have
devoted many years of study, and as
result, we have proved conclusively,
mat Nervous Debility, with all its
attendant evils, can be cured, and
,ured permanently by an appropri-
ate remedy. Such a remedy we most
confidently assert, we can give you.

THE EARTHQUAKE.

AS we were sitting at work in our
office on Wednesday about half past
eleven we were surprised for some
seconds to feel strange trembling
of everything in the sanctum. 1t
was not long before we discovered
that we had experienced a shock of
earthquake, and found that it was
plainly noticed by other people.

BISHOP HALL ATLYNDONyILLE.

The Green Mountain Tourist
who writes once week for the Bur.
lington Free Press, has the following
interesting comment on Bishop
Halls appearance in Methodist
church.
Il was gratihed to notice the an.
nouncement that Bishop Hall, of the
diocese OF Vermont, had conducted Epis-
copal services in the Methodist Episco-
pal church in Lyndonville this week. 1t
is not many decades since there was little
exchange ofcourtesies between these two
Christian denominations and the mother
church in particular, would have been
scandalized by step like that taken bv
Bishop Hall. His action would now be
generally commended rather than con-
demned, and all true Christians will note
this evidence of a tendancy toward
church community, ifnot church unity,
with satisfaction"
