Catarrhal
POI son

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
/. That Catarrhal iCo1ds become poi
sonous infection, at first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection is
beyond the reach OF mere local remedies.
g. That Impurities In the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinsry organs
q. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalstions, and
Insoluole Snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
fectious infammations from the organs named.
6. That an7antidote Tor Cstarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
Of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
nfslibe. It not only reIeaves, it cures
Cstsrrh at any stage. Home testimony:

A MEAN, HoRRID TH1NG,-In a boarding house
recently, a young man, on turning off his gas,
saw the words, CONFESS thy sins, " in phosphor-

ladies, outside the door, waiting to observe the
effect on him. So, pretending to be frightened at
the match scratch, he fell on his knees and con-
fessed out loud that he had frequently kissed one

be had best reason to suspect of playing the

COL. BEE TAKES THE AGGRESSIVE.

Colonel Bee, representing the Chinese Of
San Francisco, has savagely attacked
Health Officer Meares in connection with
the recent condemnation of Chinatown as
a nuisance. He asserts that DIR. Meares
has for two years possessed full power to
abate the nuisance that he began to do
so two years ago, and met with no oppo-
sition from the Chinese but that he
suddenly dropped the work, and has never
done anything about it since. Colonel
Bee intimates, not obscurely, that the
reason of this abandonment of the
purging process was opposition on the
part of white and Christian owners of
real estate in the Chinese quarter, who
did not want to be put to expense in
making the buildings habitable. This
is specific and a serious charge, and it
ought to be ventilated for several good and
sufficient reasons. 1t is intimated by Col.
onel Bee that the resistance to purifying
the Chinese quarter has never proceeded
from the Chinese themselves, and he brings
forward some arguments to show that they
could not have done any more than they
did. OF course Colonel Bee is a special
advocate in this matter, but it is none the
less apparent that something more than
Chinese influence has been at work in the
past to hinder the cleansing of the Chinese
quarter.

THE STARCH Duty PROPOSITION.

Representative Davis has introduced a
bill to impose a duty upon the materials
used for starch by the Chinese laundrymen
of this State. The ground of the bill is
said to be the fact that cheap starch gives
the Cinnamon their advantage over white
laundrymen. If there were any white
laundries in the State it would be easier to
prove this, but as fact we believe there
are none. Those which call themselves
white laundries have always EN-.
ployed Chinese labor, or with such
rare exceptions as to be immaterial. Of
course the effect of such a duty as
is proposed must be to increase the cost of
washing to the white people of California.
1t is not the Chinese who will pay it, and
that circumstance ought to be we'll under.
stood. 1t may be worth while to impose
it, but it ought not to be urged under the
delusion that it will fall upon the Chinese.
1t is proposition to make the white peo-
pie of California pay more for washing
their clothes, and it is nothing more than
tbis
