As the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes itself
known, are experienced after every cx-
posurc. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
S%arsaparilla is a specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is, or can be, such a
remedy. But the thousands benefited
by Hoods Sorsaparilla, warrant us in
urging Others who suffer from rheumatism
to take it before the first keen twinge.

Preliminary state Geological Sur

The undersigned, having been commssaoned
by the Governor, to superintend preliminary
geological survey of Florida, takes this method
Of making some suggestions OF importance,
winch are matters precedent TO the field work in
hand.
First. The greatest economy is necessary in all
matters of expense, all the means for this great
undertaking have been contributed privately
by public spirited individuals, and which are yet
insufficient for the accomplishment of all tina. il
desired TO be done. Hence il is important that
liberal spirit in all localities of the State may
lead individuals to afford all facilities for trans
portaiion, and to give such other help as can
readily be Afforded. Money is in no case asked
for.
Accordingly, railroad and steamboat officials
of various lines have already given free transpor
tation 10 the Stale Geologist and one assistant.
And if in addition 10 these facilities, the citizens
of The various localities will evince an equally
liberal spirit, much may be done, even in the alb
sence Of legislative appropriation.
Second As this undertaking is for the interest
of the Stale and the cause of science, it is hoped
that the people in various localities of the State
may not indulge undue expectations as 10 earliest
visitations. 1t is purposed to go over the entire
State as Thoroughly possible. and as speedily n
p0ssi lie. General facts must first he ascertained
before special details can be reached.
Third. To forward the enterprise il is desira-
making other excavations, will keep q careful
log of their penetrafions OF depths, noting thick
and character of strata or layers, reporting
by mail the same To the undersie ned, State Geol-
ogisi- With such reports il is well TO send, also
by mail, in strong papers or little boxes, such
portions of materials of interest can well be
transported In this way. The descriptions there
of must be given separately, by letter, acting all
the particulars of p sition and localities.
Outcrops OF rocks. of whatever kind, should he
reported also, wherever fouEd in the State, es-
prcially il the rocks contain fossils of any kind
Minerals of supposed importance 10 science or
for economical purposes, may be sent by mail 10
extent of tour pounds weight. Such should be
put up in strong packages. The descriptions
concerning Them mus, be given by letter. All
such remi,tannes will receive prompt attention.
By such heig' above indicated, much assist
will be af r,led in making out the plan Of
operations. AMI early atient IN 10 these particu
lars "n he part OF The people is desired, as work
ia this preliminary survey is already COM

The Chemical Parity - sAe Royal

Royal Baking Powder the palm of purity. ard

testified to their conviction that no extraneous or
