Ny wife has been laboring under chronic affee-
lions, including catarrh for Is years and has been
treated for the same most Of that Time without
terial benefit until she applied at the Office of Mrs
DR.. Keck, in Peoria. last fall She had not then
spoken loud word for nearly five months, lost her
voice while under other treatment was threatened
with paralysis. entire left side being very weak and
nnnlb; nervous system was completely shattered; ;
her lungs In serious condition and her health fail
ing rapidly. Her hands and feet were always cold
showing very poor circulation and condition OF the
blood.
About Oct l. 1854, she applied at the Office OF Mrs
DIR. Keck for advice and treatment which continued
faithfully at home until December. She made
several visits TO Mrs Keck,s office IN Peoria in the
meantime, TO obtain necessary directions and medi
cines, and improved very much. Her voice was stil
gone, however, and ssill doubling. I took my wife
TO eeveral physicians Of eminence for examination
and opinion. They agreed with Mrs. Keck 70
what the trouble was. Some Of them said there Is
very little hope; others said there none, for
covery.
Sos Mrs. Watson went with Mrs. Keck and remain
ed at her infrmary ave weeks In two weeks her
voice was restored to its original strength and tome
met her In Peoria on her return home, Jan. 2sth,
md heard her speak loud for the first time in eight
months; her health is very much better in every
way. It has paid well to follow Mrs. Keckas adj
vice, although we had very little hopes ut first. If
any one doubts the above they may correspond with

THE COLORADO nEsERT.

There Is an old adage which says that
Arizona was the last spot on earth to be
created; that Yuma is the outpost Of the
neither regions aud the hottest place in
the world. Everyone knows the story OF
the two soldiers who, while stationed at
Fort Yuma, died and going straight to
Hades, returned in n short time for their
blanket! Be that as it may there can bs
no doubt that parts OF Southern Calitor-
mia and Arizona are among tie hottest
regions of the world. Neither the Desert
Africa can be worse, in this respect than
their small relative, the Colorado Desert.
in California. A protracted journey Of
some four weeks over this desert gave me
an excellent chance to see it III its worst
aspect, and l purpose trying to give 9TH
ers AN accoun. of lis most interesting fea-
lures. The desert occupies almost the
whole OF the large county oil San Diego.
1t is some one hundred and fifty miles
long aud fifty miles wide, and the South
ern Pacific Railroad runs through The
center of it. About sixty miles from Los
Angeles, the railroad encounters very
steep grade one hundred to one huudrvd
and ten feet to the mile, and it continues
for twenty-five miles. At the summit,
known Ms San Gorgiouio Pass begins the
| descent into the desert, and every mile
brings you to a more de ,olate country
At Whitewater Sn;ion, twenty miles
from the summit, the desert commences
in earnest. First few flowers tnliven
the scene. Large Guotheras, three OF
four inches in diameter, grow on small
stak,s five or six inches high. Large
plants of Abronia martina, with clusters
OF brilliant purple flowers, spread over
the ground. A little Gilia &c. Ltmmoni),
with white corolla and yellow center
