ED. MIsER:-I read an article in your Weekly issue of Juno 18th, r, Hecting on W. J. Flake and others that arc nov i'm p.isone1 at Yuma. Stating that W. J. Flake reported that we complained bitterly of the manner in which our families arc permitted to suffer for the necessaries oi life. by the dignitaties of Church, during their imprisonment, etc. Nov, we ars sat:sied that ". J. Flake never circulated such report. and in behalf of those that are here with me, there is no, one word truth in what you have published. We knov to the contrary that cur families are looked after with the greatest of care. We have always had credit for looking taf:tr our poor and the stranger that came within OUT gates; if he was hungry we fed him; if he was naked we clothed him.
 By publishing this, in behalf of . few men that have been deprived of liberty for . short season, you will confer great fAv.r or the undersigned, in behalf of those that are here. Respectfully,

udice, ignorance and humbuggerv.
Have you the remotest idea that
your screfula was created by the
use of potash and mercury? No mat
ter what the cause, B. b. B. is the
peer OF all other remedies. Do you
presume that your troublesome ca
tarrh is the result of mineral poison
ing? B. b. b. is the quickest rene
dy. Are your chrome ulcers and
boils and sores the result OF potash
and mercury? Medical gentlemen
will not tell you SO, but b. B. B. is
the only sovereign remedy. Were
your terrible kidney troubles created
by mineral poisonlng2 Not bit of
it, but b. B. B. has proven to be a
reliable remedy. Are your skin
diseases, your eczema, dry letter,
ETC., the effect of too much potash
and mercury? The medical profess
sion are the best judges. and they
say nay, but b. b. b. makes more
pronounced cures than all other
preparations combined.--July 81.
