AYER's CArHARrrc PILLS arc the best of
all pills for family use. They are the
product of long, lab ,rious and successful
chemical investigation, and their extern
sive use, by Physicians in their practice.
and by all civilized nations, proves them
the best and most efIectual purgative
Pill that medical science can divise.
Being purely vegetable no har i can
arise from their use. In Intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them, and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order. and maintain In action the
whole machinery OF life. Mild, search.

adapted to the needs Of the digestive ap.
paratus. arrangements Of which they
prevent aud cure, If timely taken. They

HOWEVER advantageous 1t may
be to have facilities for irrigation
in Los Angeles county, the drift Of
experience shows that irri-
CATION is not essential. Wheat
is raised without it, and
the grape flourishes iii per.
fection independent of artificial
moisture. The fact is that Los An
geles county has been grossly mis-.
understood hitherto. In the tram
sition from 8 pastoral to farming
and horticultural section a large
proportion of our lands got iuto in.
competent hands-into the hands
of men, in truth, who did not know
their capabilities, and to whom
psinsteking experiment aud perse.
veripg energy were strangers.
These flippant people, as result OF
failures which were purely refera.
BILE to their own inertness and lack
of sagacity, pronounced eections
useless for agriculture which now
bear abundant wheat crops, and
which are capable of producing
every variety of vegetation known
on earth. We are getting to un-
derstand the nascent resources of
Los Angeles county, of late. The
new departure 10 wholesome one
for this section, aud We are only
sorry that the facts of the situation
were not mastered earlier.

question in the House of Repre-.

centuated by. applause on the

1t will be greeted by applause all

issues in the United States. The

fought, not on a "Solid South" OF
