COM S u TsTPTION
An Interesting Letter.

SACRAMENTO, April 30. 1865.
DR.. G. NJ BOURNE Dear Sir 1t is with
pleasure and satisfaction that | now let you
know of my good health. Looking back
upon what have passed through, it seems as
il had been lifted from the grave and |
thiak it my duty to acknowledge to you and
the world the benefit derived from water
treatment as administered by you in your
celebrated baths, 1t was in August 1864,
when disease developed itself with severe
cough. J then took medicines, getting worse
with chills. fevers, loss of strength, and was
pronounced consumptive. This set me to
thinking, ana finally determined to leave
my business and go to the Sandwich Islands.
having been informed that | could not be
cured here. L went to San Francisco, and
while waiting for ship, called upon DR..
Bonrne, who stated that trip to the Islands
would probably result disastrously. was Who'll
ly unnecessary. as l could be speedily cured
at his establishment. | placed myself under
his treatIfient, and in one week was so much
improved that l could risk returning home
and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad. The Doctor objected. but
thought knew better, and returned to duty.
In about two weeks Ey cough returned. and
| Kept getting worse. and contrary to DR..
Bourne's injunction never to take medicine
again, c'mmitted that folly, and soon was so
completely run down that | could scarcely
walk; so, as last resort, l concluded to try
the Water Cure once more. went to San
Francisco-tew of my friends expecting me
to return. In fact, thought my return doubt
full On arriving at DR.. Bourne's establish
ment, february IA, 1861 l was not able to
get into the bath without assistance, but in a
few days began to recover myself again.
! remained with him only six weeks, when 1
felt g wiser and better man." without the
aid of medicine have now been at work
several weeks. and find that am gaining
every day, and at present bid fair to be stout
er than ever before. Persons visiting the
Doctors establishment find it just what it
should be, both in the Ladies' and Gentle
mems departments, and 1 cannot say too
much in praise of the Doctors kind attention
to his patients.
This letter l write for the benefit of all the
afflicted, to be used as the Doctor decides,
and should it be the means of directing any
to his care and treatment who (as they assur-
edly will y find relief, l will be paid for my
trouble. JAMES CAMPBELL.

RICH QUARTz.-We were shown this week,
by Mr.. Williams, of our town, some fine
specimens of gold-bearing quartz rock, OBJ
tanned from the celebrated Billy Shepherd"
claim, near Whisky Slide, in this county
Gold was plainly discernible without the aid
of glass, and upon breaking the rock to
pieces, we found the glittering ore dissemin-
ated entirely through it. When labor was
first commenced on this lead, several months
since, the vein was divided into numerous
stratas, o, layers, by streaks of granite but
at the depth of thirty feet it has developed
into a solid ledge of quartz, four feet in width
between well-defned walls, and prospects
remarkably well. 1t is estimated that the
rock, unassorted, as it comes from the shaft
will pay twenty dollars per ton. Work is
being pushed forward with energy and de-
termination, and the owners feel confident
that they have one of the best claims in the
Whisky Slide district. We wish them sue
cess.
TERRIFIC Snow SToRM-We are informed
Dy u 8GllltlIdIl just QONl llOl1 w SSt OIll,
that the snow storm which prevailed in that
place, and in the mountains above on Tues
day and Wednesday last, was the most ter
rifle ever experienced in that locality. At
the time our informant left West Point, on
Thursday morning, the snow had fallen to
the depth of over three feet. Several houses
had caved in from the weight of the accumu-
lated snow on the roofs. The numerous
mills in that district have all stopped, and
business generally is at stand still. But
one stage got through from here on Wednes-
day. Gritf carried the mail in on horseback.
Thrall got through with the express stage,
but had hard time of twas all day going
from here there. Should this vast amount
of snow be suddenly melted off by warm
Sacramento must look out, for we ap-
prehensive their levee won't save them.
The only excitement that has occurred
during the week has been snowballing, or
rather 'mudballing." On Thursday it was
much as persons life was worth to venture
on the street. One was sure to get well
pelted with snowballs, and handsomely plas-
tered over with mud. 1t is recreation in
which we never took much delight, but ones
tastes in that respect were entirely disregard
ed. We were the recipient of one favor in
the shape of a SNOWFALL which formed a con-
neetion with the back of our head. causing
every star in the armament to appear with
astonishing vividness to our bewildered Wis
ion. We surrender ....f

who suffer from difficult menstruation. giving
almost immediate relief to the spasms that SO
frequently accompany that period.
