He was making n speech in the ssnats about
the future of the newly-acquired territory in
the southwest, and said he remembered read

$4,000 Gone,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The Chronicle
publishes In substance the following mar
vel. Captain w. F. Swasey, thu Oldest
pioneer Of the coast, makes statement of
the intense suffering of his friend Col. D.
J. Williamson, an Army officer of distinc-
ton and an Ex-U. s. Consul, who was at
tackled in the winter of 1862 with violent
rheumatism. So great was his agony in
after years, he became helpless cripple,
and after trying numberless remedies, the
baths Of other countries and spending a
fortune Of $4,000, the disease seemed to as
sumo more virulent type. Finally, he
was persuaded to try st. Jacobs Oil, the
great conqueror of pain. 1t worked a mir
acle of cure. In a letter to the Chronicle
he confirms Capt. Swasey's statement and
adds: 81 cheerfully give my unqualified
attestation to the truthfulness of the state
ment, because feel perfectly certain that
. knowledge OF my cure by st. Jacobs Oil
will prove the means of relieving hundreds
Of sufferers"

A DR.. Granville writes to the LON
don Times: ''Many persons who are not
by habit dre1mers are dreaming great
deal just now and wondering why they
do SO. The answer is very simple.
When cold weather sets in suddenly
and is much felt at night, the head
which Is uncovered, has the blood sup
piled to it driven from the. surface to
the deep parts, notably the brain-the
organ of the mind. The results are
light sleep and dreams. The obvious
remedy is to wear a nightcap or wrap
the head warmly, at least while the cold
weather lasts. / believe we of this gem
Grafton suffer more from brain troubles
than our predecessors because we leave
the head exposed at night and the blood
vessels of our cerebral organs are sell
dom unloaded."
