ARCTIC SALVE. 

 Statement of Nicholas Lumsden. 

 To the Committee on Chemicals : 



Gentlemen: I claim a gold medal for my great Arctic Salve, because 

 it is a California discovery, and patented. It is a sovereign remedy, and 

 has never yet failed to cure when the directions were followed. Here in 

 Sacramento it has been tested by men and women. Leading papers of 

 Europe and America acknowledge it. Doctors, as great as the world has 

 seen, recommend it, and say it is what is wanted. 



Please consider the merits of my salve, and I will abide by your deci- 

 sion. 



Yours truly, 



NICHOLAS LUMSDEN, Proprietor. 



MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 



Statement op John F. Cooper. . , 



To the Honorable Committee on Gold Medals : 



Gentlemen: As the gold medal is offered for the most meritorious 

 display in the fourth department, I would petition for it on my fine dis- 

 play of musical instruments, consisting of §even, all constructed on new 

 and improved principles, of fine tone and especially adapted for our 

 California climate, on the point of durability and compactness. 



The Committee on Special Premiums have seen proper to award me a 

 diploma for the most meritorious exhibit and a silver medal for the 

 Mathusheh Colibri, for great power and sweetness of tone, in a small 

 compass. A special premium was awarded for the Derrick & Felge- 

 maker organ, and special for the Reddington cabinet pipe organ, and 

 special for silver flute; besides, the committee made special mention for 

 meritorious exhibit. 



Hoping your committee may look upon this application for the gold 

 medal with favor, 



I remain, yours very respectfully, JOHN F. COOPER.

Statement of. Jacob Strahle & Co., op San Francisco. 



In addition to the premiums awarded to us, which are certainly by 

 themselves a very flattering reward, we would most respectfully suggest 

 that an acknowledgement of our claim to the gold medal of our depart- 

 ment w T ould be a justice. We claim that no other industry in our line 

 employs more hands, and benefits the country more than wo do; all the 

 material used is of California growth or production; woods, iron, var-
