PROSPECTUS FOR 1875. ChJlampion .American Comie Paper /! Illustrated by a corps of the best Ameri can artists, and contributed to by the most popular humorists and satirists of the day. Wild Oats now enters successfiully up on the sixth year of its existence, and has become the established humorous and satirical paper of the country. It was started and continued the first year as a monthly, then, to satisfy the demand of the public, it was changed to a fortnight ly. Still continuing its good work of hitting folly as it flies, and showing up the political and social shams by its masterly cartoons and pungent editorials, it achieved even greater success than before, and was recognized as th, ablest and brightest of itsclass. Since then we lhae yielded still further to the public demand, and now publish Wild Oats weekly ! It has literally grown into its present shape on its intrinsie merits, be ing the fiArst successful weekly humorous paper ever published in this country. Among the artists especially engaged to furnish illustrations for Wild Oats are Frank Bellew, Thomas Worth. Hopkins, Wales, Shelton, Wolf Jump, Keettels, Stuckhardt, Day, Poland, and several others who are yet known to fame. In its literary deprmtmets Wild Oats will, as it always has, stand alone and unapproachable. At least one first-clas serial story will always be found in its pages, by the best humorous, satiriesl, and character writers in the United States; while its sketches and squibs will be spark'Vng, original and pointed. Wild Oats" will be first-class mi every particular, and on this account may be taken into the best families without fear or0 suspicion, as no word or illustration will appear that can offend the most fas tidious. e* &Snd for a Sample Copy and Conrince Yourselves.

Walker's Califrials Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg etable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun tatus of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, " What is the cause of the unpar alleled success of VInxoGA Brr rnat" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purier and a life-givin principle, a perfect Reno. rator and nvrigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded pos sessing the remarkable qualities of Vi. soan Barrn in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonle, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Da.
