(írnjctul TIioiisuimIs proclaim Vineoar Bitters tlie most wonderful Invigcrant that ever sustaintnl the mnking svstem. Bilions, RcmittPiit, and fitterinittf llt Fcvors, wliich are o prevalent iu the valleys of our great rivers tbronghout the United States, dspecinlly those oí the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri" Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Aikansa-s, Eed, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Eoanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Suminer and Autuinn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and drynes8, are invariably accompanied bj oxtensive derangements of the stomacli and liver, and other abdominal viscei'a. In their treatment, a purgativo, exerting a powerfitl influence upon these various organs, ia essentially necessary. Therc is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walkkk's Vinegab Bitteus, as they ivill apeodily rtmove the dark-colored visoid matter witii whicb the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the aecretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the disreativa ormms. Dispepsia or Indigestión, Head ache.Pain in the Shoulders,Coughs,Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomac'li, Bad ïasto in the Mouth, Bilious Attauks, Pulpitation of tho Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the región of the Kidueys, and a hundred other painfu] symptoms, are the ofifspringa of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better gnarantee of its werits than a lengthy advertisenient. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, ülcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Nek, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflanimations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other oonstitutional Diseases, Walkeb's Vinegab Bitters have shown their great curativo powers iu the most obstinate and intractable casea. For Inflaininatorv and Chronic Iilieuniatisill, Gout, Bilious, Eemittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidueys, and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mochanical Disoases.- Persons engaged in Paints and Hiñerais, such as Plumbers, Typen3etters, Gold-beaters, and minera, as mey aavance in me, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To gnard against this, take a dose of Valmlks Y inLgak Bittebs occasionally. . For Skiu Diseases, Eruptions,Tetter, Salt Kheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Kingworms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorationa of the Skin, Humora and Diseaaes of the Skin of whatever name Or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the System in a short time by tho use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the sy stem of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermífugos, no anthehninitics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Femaie Coniplainls, in young or oíd, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or the turn of life, these Tonio Bitters display so decided an influence tliat improvement is soon perceptible. Jaillldice. - In all cases of jaundice, rest assured that yonr liver is not doing ita work. The only sensible treatment is to promote the secretion of the bile and favor its removal. ïor this purpose use Cleanse the Vitiated Blood -n-henever you find its impurities bursting tlirough the skin in Pimples, Ernptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructeil and luggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul ; yonr feelings will tel) you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will f ollow. it. ii. nciioüiAi.D & co., Druggieta ud General Ageuts, San Francisco, Califor Din, ud cor. Wasbink'tou and Charlton Sts., New York.

Byoomparing Chambers' Encyclopsedia with the New American Cyclopiedia,- the work with which it Is most frequently brought into comparison, it will be found that while the ten volumes of Chambers' oontain 83 0 pages, the original sirteen volumes oí the New American contain less than 12.000 pages. It will als" be found thut a page of Chamberu' contains full ont-fifth more matter thau a page of the New American, making the ten volumes of the former equivalent in araount of printed matter to at least thirteen volumes of the lattei, not to mention the numerous Plates (about 80], Woodcuts (gome 4-000}, and Maps (nbout 40j, that are included in tliia edition of Chambers', and to wbich the New American pos. sesses no correspondin features.
