Dear Sir,-Probably case of Kidney Comnlaipt
has ever come under your observation where this
painful disease had more stubbornly refused to Weld
to the influence of many different remedies as nv
own. f' '~f--'
have suffered pain (more than can describe,
through my back hips and limbs together with great
difficulty in passing the urine, which was yery often
and in small quantities. For twenty wears have
been great sufferer with this complaint / have
within my reach. have been to South America to
all parts of the South and West to see if change of
climate would help me. have expended thousands
ofdoars to obtain relief still my only reply could
be, No better.
About year ago, l was advised by my friends to
try the VEGETINE; they having taken it themselves
and been cured. Without much faith, Consented to
try it, and can truly say that received great ben
etit from the first bottle. / began to rest better
nights, and was not obliged to urinate so often with
much less pain. After taking three or four bottles
was not obliged to get up but OF twice during
the night and the pain in my back and limbs was
growing less from day to day. have taken in ali
some twelve or fifteen bottles and to-day 1 am as
able to attend to active business as any man. Who
can appreciate the blessing of good health mere than
one who has suffered for twenty years as have? Is
it not my duty (n0w have found relief to make
this fact known? The VEGETINE has done more for
me than ever dared to hope expect from any med
cine; and believe be- dear sir am happy at ali times
to speak in its favor. -- .' -N

FINHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface built upon
new principle namely, that Of stopping the yerticd
circulation accomplished by means Of two horizon
tat didphragms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there maintained three temperatures of
water. r..f r. I7. - -
The smeke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work. coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power. Il I,st " ftl,-rf mn .itts
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew so
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the same heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do So as long as it is
used, and we will back guarantees with Gov
EMINENT Bonds H re'I Mod -.-r r..
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts that while running this
boilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neutrazed
and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
before realized. let
Continuing ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us
call. ~ ~. ~

From the SQ1 ETdfaE1dc0 thTof1Ictts
About two weeks ago Mckee Of the Nine
teenth District Court was in San Diego on
judicial business. While there very aggrayat-
ed case of trespass was brought to his attention.
The aggrieved party was Don Juan Forster,
wealt6T ranchero, whose premises had been
rudely invaded and q portion OF his herds de-
youred by lasless grizzly bear. Judge Mckee
was wrathful at this foul foray on the part OF
the bear, aud at once suggested the propriety Of
sending ont posse conaitatus, armed with Writs
OF quo auarranto and Henry rifles. This course
was resolved upon, and the Judge accompanied
the expedition. well heeled with banner, brand,
and bow, or the more improved modern substi-
tutes therefor. Three miles from the ranch they
came upon the mangled body Of fine young
steer, with his tongue torn out, and thereupon
Judge Mckee announced to his COM
panions-in- arms that the corpus deficit having
been duly proven, it nov only remained for them
to ferret out the assassin. The posse con1itatus
consisted Of the Judge, Don Juan Forster, Mr..
Prior. and Mr. O'Doherty. About fifteen miles
from the ranch they came in sight Of the body Of
another mute steer, and close beside the corpse
the murderouB bear WAS discerned, squatting
upon his launches and placidly scratching his
nose with his paw. Mr. O'Doherty looked in
quiringly toward Judge Mckee, and the Judge
remarked that this was clear case of fagrante
fleEictat. at the. same time letting dy leaden
mandate. The bear acknowledged service Of
summons by promptly dropping on al-fours and
advancing toward his assallant, whereupon the
Court hastily adjourned, with the bear in hot
pursuit, Such 1agrant disrespect for the Judi
cial er1nine aroused the ire Of Mr.. Pryor, who
sent in lucky shot. just in time to avenge the
outraged majesty OF the law and prevent the
