stantly being received IRON pers ems who have been
cured by its use, conclusive proof of its great
value. 1t is recommended by ply sician5 and

Vegeline is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the dill.

persons suffering from disease that they can be

no one can doubt. In many of these cases the per-
sons say that their pain and suffering cannot be ex.

II you are a sufferer, you can be cured! Why Is
this medicine performing such great cures 1t
works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. 1t
be truly called the Great Blood Puriner. The
great souc ce OF disease originates in the blood and
no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to
purify and renovate, has any just claim upon pub

want OF exercise, irregular diet from any other
cause, the Negetine Will renew the blood, carry off
the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate
the bowels and impart tone OF vigor to the whole
body. The conviction is, in the public mind well

more successful, III the cure OF disease, than miner

safe to give an Infant. Do you need it? Do not

Page & Gravel.

Mr.. L. T.. Page, of the firm of Page
& Gravel, returned to the city by the
Senator yesterday, after short busi-
ness trip to San Francisco. Mr.. Page's
chief object in visiting the city was
to lay in large supply of material for
his carriage and wagon mandatory.
The great success of this firm is owing
to their strict attention to the details
of their business. They are both prac-
tical workmen, and while Ole is en-
gagged at the forge the other plies the
plane and hammer and chisel. Though
employing a large force of workmen,
they do not allow any piece of work
to pass without their own careful SUI
pervision. To their especial merit as
mechanics is chiefly due the renown
which the house has achieved of turn
ing out the best work in their
line in Southern California, and
as good as can be found the
world over. From modest beginnings
the establishment has steadily MAIN
tanned its reputation, until it now
stands head and shoulders above every
mandatory of the kind in Southern
California. 1t would be an act of in
justice if we neglected to say in pass
ing that the enterprise of the firm in
the way of advertising has been large
ly instrumental in their success. Like
sensible men, they made a first-class
article and then told the public about
it. They richly deserve all the pros
perity they have achieved, and We
feel sure that it will increase many
fold in the future.
