The Stockton California; Her
aid publishes the following:
81 herewith append a recipe,
which has been used, to my know
ledge, in hundreds of cases. It
will prevent or cure the smallpox,
though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered cow-pox,
in England, the world OF science
hurled an avalancheSof fame upon
his head; but when the most scien-
tiic school of medicine in the
world-that of Paris-published
this recipe as a panacea for small
pox, it passed unheeded; it is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless
when taken by a well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here
is the recipe rs l have used it, and
cured my children of scarlet fever;
here it is as l have used it to cure
smallpox; when learned physi-
clans said the patient must die, it
cured: Sulphate of zinc, | grain;
half a teaspoonful of sugar; mix
with two tablespoonsful of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces Ut water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will
disappear in twelve hours. For
child, smaller doses, according to
age. If counties would compel
their physicians to use this, there
would be no need of pest-houses.
If you value advice and experience,
use this for that terrible disease"

The Pleasures of Imagination.

The Pleasures of Imagination.
Imagination being one of the
faculties of the mind, we often use
it in such way as to produce
more pleasure than from expe-
riencine the reality. For instance,
we are invited to some great festi-
val or pleasure party; then imagi-
nation tusies itself depicting the
pleasures We are to enjoy. We
represent everybody and every
thing as to contributing to the
enjoyment of the hour; we anti
cipate everything SO keenly that
we can neither eat nor sleep; but
when the hour arrives we find that
the unpleas antness of life has
crept on, and we vainly wait and
search for the enjoyment that
imagination pictured. Again, we
are promised a sail. across the
great waters, to visit some distant
land, where we can feast our eyes
on the beauties of nature and art.
We do not wait for the prepara-
tons to be completed, but imagi-
nation scars away and we are al
ready roaming over beautiful hills
and plains, gathering the sweetest
and most delicate flowers. $3.50

In the first place majority of the committee that

That committee was composed Of Branard of

ent FROM the one 10 which ne is officially com
mitted in the report. lie says that there were
really but % righttul votes thrown for Mr.. Lamb
and that two fraudulent votes cast for him,
making his total vote 60. Then Justice" agrees
with TIconic in his original charge that the coun,
was fraudulent one. Ticonic never charged
hat the fraudulent votes were given to Mr..
Fogler. Justice" admits that fraudulent votes
were cast; he claims they were given to Mir. Lamb.
Not proven, as the Scotch verdict has it. But
it i a noteworthy fact that Justice" admits that
