Walker’s California ~Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg- — . etablepreparation, made chiefly from: the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun- - “tains of California, tqf]:o medicinal -properties of which are extracted - therefrom without the use of Aleohol. The question is almost daily asked, <% YWhat is the causc of thel unpar+ alleled success -of VINEGAR BrrTERS %’ Qur hnswer i, that they remove” the cause of ‘disease, 'and - thie patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, % perfect Reno“vator-, and Invicorator of the system. " Never beforé in the history of the world “has @ medicing been compeunded ® posgessing the remarkable qhalities of VixNEGAR DITTERS in Lealing ‘the sick of tvery distase man is heir to. They are 24 gentle Purgative as; well as a Tonie, - relieving Congestion or ' Inflammation of . ‘the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious : Discases S ; . " 'The propexties of Dr. WALK- - ER'S VINEGAR BITTERS are Aperient, Dia- . phoretic, Carminative; Nautritiots; Laxa--tive, Diaretie, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, ! L Sudorifie, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. _ Grateful Thousands' proclaim 'VINEGAR: BITTERS the most wonder~ful Invigorant that ever sustained -the sinking system. ' - No Person can take these Bitters according-to directions, and remain long unwell, provided 'their * bones are not destroyed by mineral -poison or other means, and vital ergans _W,{lsted beyond repair. . - Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so .prevalent in the valleys of our great .+ rivers throughout the United States, . ‘especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Il.]inois, Tennessee, ~Cumberland, ArkanSas, Red, Colorado, Brazos; Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannaly, Roanoke, James, and many others, - with their vast tributaries, through«-’ - out our entire country during the Summer and 'Autumn, and remarka- ¢ ~ bly so during seasons of unusual ¥ ~heat and dryness, aye invariably accompanied by -extensive derange-, - 'ments of the stomach and liver, and /- other abdeminal® viscera. In their treatment,. a purgative, exerting a - powerful influence upon these vari: ©ous organs, is essentially necessary; |, - There is no cathartic for the purpose “equal to DR. J. WALEER'S VINEGAR "~ BITTERS; as they will speedily remove . - thedark-colored viseld matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time . stimulating the seeretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive,organs. Lo - Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with . VINEGAR BiITTERS. ! No epidemic can ~take hold of a sydtem thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head- . ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, “Tightness (of the:Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- _ “tion of the Heart, Inflammation of the »Lmngs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its moerits than a lengthy advertisenient, Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, . Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled - Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mereurial affee- - tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, - Sore Eyes, ete. In these, as in all other ~.constitutional Discases, WALKER'S VIN-° EGARBITTERS have shown their great cur- * ative powers in ‘the most obstinate and intractable cases. e For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- : tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood; Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Snc‘x Discases are caused by Vitiated Blood. - Mechanical Diseases.—DPersons engaged in Paints and Mincrals,isuch as ~ Plumbers, Type:setters, Gold-beaters and Miners, as they advance in life, are sub- " ject to paralysirof the Bowels.

No system of medicine;no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will {ree the ~.system from worms like these Bittgrs. . - For Female Complaints, in young " or old, married or single, at the dawn of ~womanhood, orthe turn of life, these Touic Bitters display so decided .an influence - . that improvement. is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Biood - whenever you find its impurities bursting . - - through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions; or.
