SPLENDID SToRM.-The past week has
indeed been nappy one for Trinity
County. Although the season was com
paratively only begun, the faint hearted
ones were filed with dark omens of
drought and failure of the water supply.
We were told that our mines would lie
idle another season, and enough he'd
rock would not be stripped to pay for
cleaning up. Last week we were enl b I'd
to report glorious rain which continued
rs we went to press, Siuce then the rsiu-
fall has aggregated 90 inches, ma'tins
grad total for he season 10 date of 2j.i5
inches-9.7 inches having fallen from
.he 18th to the 24th OF this present month.
Up TO the present date OF last year the
i'll was only 1l.73 or 1912 less than tins
.seson. With more than double ,ba rain
lail ut this time, q good mining season Is
insured, and there is no reason for appre-
henGmg less than six months run, even III
Weaver Basin, which is as scantily sup
piled with water us any other section of
the county. An all-day run here was
something unknown last year, while for
the past ten days in most of our claims
the streams from Giants " have barely
been broken during the daytime. Old
Bally mountain appears covered with
heavy coat of snow, and the chances for
wet Spring are as good MS in any previ
GUS season. The storm has been the best
we have had for years and gives us good
cause for rejoicing aud mutual congrntu-

COOP ADvIcE.-A Weaver merchant
held the note of an impecunious native
Californian for a sum exceeding one hun
dred dollars, and thought to realize upon
1t by playing generous. Calling the
debtor into the store one day, he politely
informed him that he had chance 20 sell
the note at discount, but not wishing to
be mean ubout the matter would sell it to
the signer himself at the same figure,
rather than Jet it go into the hands Of Il
third party. The debtor thought the
matter over for some time and then asked
how much the merchant could get for the
note :? Fifty cents on the dollar"
promptly responded the man of business.

Debatabie Question,

While much has been written concerning
the use of "put up'' medicines, the question
is still an open one, and demands OF the peo-
pie careful consideration. The salient points
NAV be briefly stated, and answered as fol-
lows: lst-Are the sick capable of determining
their real condition the nature of their malady
and selecting the proper remedy or means Of
oureq 2d-Can 4 physician, no matter how
skillful. prepare universal remedy, adapted
to the peculiar ailments OF large class OF
people, residieg in different latitudes, and
subject to climatic influences In answer to
the first proposition, we would say, diseases
are named and know n by certain "signs' or
symptoms, and, as she mother does not need
physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping cough, or indicate remedy, so
people wi hen afflicted with manv ofthe symp-
toms concomitant to "impure blood, {" torpid
liver ,"and "bad Digestion" require no other
knowledge of their condition, or the remedy
indicated. than they already possess. Second
propositior-Many physicians argue that dis
eases are sectionally peculiar, and that their
treatment must therefore vary, and yet
quinine, NOR phine, podophyllin, and hun
dreds of other remedies are prescribed in all
countries to overcome certain condltlOns 1t
is not, therefore, self-evident that -physi-
clan whose large experience has made him
familiar with the many phases incident to all
impurities OF the blood, general and nervous
debility, liver complaint, dyspepsia, con-
Sumption, and catarrh, can prepare series
of remedies exactly adapted to meet the con-
dtions manifest, wherever, and by whatever
means, it may have been engendered? The
family medicines prepared BY R. V: Pierce.
M d., Of Buffalo, N. Y, fulfill the above re-
quirements. Many physicians prescribe them
in their practice. His Golden Medical Dis
coverp has no equal as blood-puriier and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescription
cures those weaknesses peculiar to women,
after physicians have failed. His Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, which are sugar coated and
little larger than mustard seeds, are q safe and
certain cure for "torpid" liver and cOnstipa-
ton. Ifyou wish to save money by avoiding
doctors and keep or regain your health, buy

The "Little GIANT" Cathartic, or Mnltum in
Parvo Pbysic, scarcely larger than mustard
seeds, and are sngar-coated. They remove the
necessity of taking the great, crude, drastic.
sickening pills heretofore SO much in use.
As remedy for Headache, Dizziness, Rush
Of Blood to the Haed, Tightness about the
Chest, Bad Taste in Mouth, Eructations from
the Stomach, Bilious Attacks, Jaundice, Pain
in the Kidneys, Highiy-colyred Urine. and in
teroal Fever, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are unsurpassed. Furthermore,
would say that their action is universal, not q
gland escaping their sanativs impress. Age
does not impair the properties of these Pellets.
They are sugar-coated and inclosed in glass
bottles, their virtues being thereby preserved
unimpaired for any length Of time, so that
they are always fresh and reliable. This is no:
the case with those pills which are put up in
cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes. The daily
use Of two Pellets has cured the most obstinate
cases Of Scrofula, letter, Salt Cheum, Erysip-
elias, Boils, Blotches, Pimples, Sore Ryss, and
Eruptiops. They are, however. recommended
to b. taken in connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery, in order tol secure the best
results.
