A NATIVE of Cornwall, where he was born, April 1, 1809. Arrived in the colony by the "Royal Admiral," January, 1838. Established business as an herbalist in Gilles-street in that year, and continued the same till 1882, when he retired in favour of his son. Many most successful cures have been effected by his treatment, and during a long and successful practice he has enjoyed the confidence of the public. Mr. Bowden is now in his 77th year, and is a veritable type of the South Australian pioneer colonist.
