Vegetable or mineral

A physican writing to a jonrnal of medicine, not long ago, proclaimed against the use of mineral poisons in curing diseases, on the ground that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred more michief than benifit was the result.

Tone up the system and give strength to the various organs of life by using such a remedy os Dr. Guysott’s Yellow' Dock and Sarsaparilla.

The other morning, says the San Francisco Call, a Chinaman made an exhibition on Montgomery street near Pine, which somewhat surprised the passers-by. The Chinaman was going along the sidewalk, minding his own business, when a Western Union Telegraph boy threw a piece of orange at him and struck him on tjie head. He turned and chased the boy, who ran . At this point a young man of twenty or twenty one years stepped up and said to the Chinaman, 11 Let that boy alone!” He received in reply a blow from the sooulder that cut his upper lip and made the blood fly. The blow seemed to stun him at first, but he rallied and attempted to return the compliment. The Chinaman, however, “put up his props” in true pugilist id style and looked decidedly the better man of the two for a moment. However, another member of our superior race came up and struck the Chinaman, and his first adversary became bolder and got in a blow. It was now two to one, with a prospect of being at any instant six to one, and the Chinaman hastily retreated. A young man signing himself J. L. D., writes as follows: “Six months ago I felt all broke up, I was very nervous. The least excitement caused my heart to thump like an engine, at other times it seemed to cease beating altogether. I also had dyspepsia bad, and at night I was very restless, and had disturbing dreams. My whole system seemed to be out of fix, and pimples and sores troubled me greatly. . was advised by my diuggist to try Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. It has restored me to perfect health. H. R. H. the Princess Louise is expected to arrive in Canada the latter end of May.
