SPECIFIC MEDICATION.

Dr. Latonzo was first taught the time honored system of Paracelsus; and later in life has carefully studied the other schools of medicine; and he wishes now to state most emphatically, that he allows no sx- elusive dogmas to govern his judgment, either ip practice, or theory but that he bases his treatment of diseased action, upon his own individual experience, and employs only such remedies as are by him personally known to be of value.
 He therefore tries no experiments, makes no mistakes, and has no guess work but aided by his perfect knowledge of the structure of man, and the peculiarities of disease and its action upon the different organs and their functions, he truthfully demonstrates to the patient, the source of their troubles, and teaches in his consul tations, their inherent powers over the weakness and debilities, which lead to the various diseases incident to their na- ture.
 He will locate, describe, and explain the diseased action and will give to those call ing upon him a full, clear and accurate un- 1 derstanding of their case.
 The thousands who have consulted the doctor have been surprised by his concise | and explicit manner of making plain to them their true condition as well as by his thorough knowledge of pathology, \ which enables him to instantly and unOr- | ringly indicate the proper Specific Medi-
 cines necessary to cure.

MINEoLA TEX, May 9-Last night our
city council passed an ordinance TO issue at
once bonds TO the amount of 5000, running
twenty years, bearing per cent interest,
10 sink an artesian well in the city, and
City Secretary John II. Newsom was au-
thorized to correspond with parties who
have the best machinery for boring artesian
wells, and to receive bids for the work.
None but responsible parties need apply.
We have now an unfinished well Of 300 feet
depth, six inches in diameter Mt the top,
with about two hundred and fifty feet of
standing water in il. It might be possible
that this well could be utilized and save
considerable time and a little expense 10

necessary information in regard to the
well. III boring the unfinished well

Pork Packing and Provisions.

The Cincinnati Price Current says: "The
Western packing the past week has been
l55, coo hogs, against 10000 the preceding
week and 255, 600 last year. From March l
the total is approximately 2,0O5,0O0 against
. 03Q. GOO last year-decrease 25.0J0 hogs.
The indications in regard to the future JUS
tify the view that each week for q long
time, possibly throughout the remainder of
the season, will show q very marked de-
crease in the packing as compared with cor
responding time last year. But the near
future is TO be expected to enlarge the sup
ply very materially over the marketings OF
the recent past. On March the excess of
supplies of meats and pork in the West,
compared with corresponding date last
year, was equivalen. to the product OF
about /, 7T5 900 hogs.
Since March l the decreased exports Of
meats ard the reduced manufacture, in
Guiding the feature Of lighter weight of
hogs, has reduced this excess equivalen- to
the product of about $4,000 hogs, SO that on
the basis of equal domestic consumption
for the two months in comparison with last
wear the excess now remaining IS equiva-
lent to the meat product of about 1,400.000
hogs. There was. however, on November
l last an excess of meats and pork in the
West,in comparison with the corresponding
time in the preceding year equivalent TO the
product of about !. $50 600 hogs.
1T is hardly likely that the decrease in
packing this season will be equal TO reduc-
ing stocks of meats on November next TO
the usual volume for that time in the year
unless the exports should greatly exceed
last year and go beyond the sanguine ex-
pectations OF the trade. The domestic con-
sumption should show an increase over last
year in view Of the higher cost of beef, and
for the same reason the foreign require
ments should be enlarged. Whatever III
fiuence the movement of hogs in the latter
part of May and June may have in a ten
dency to lower the value of product there
remains good ground for the view that any
such possible depression should be recov-
cred in due time, and that the season should
maintain prices comparing well with cur
rent values.
During the past week the provision mar
ket has been quite changeable, manifesting
considerable strength early, I decided

break in prices later, and an improving
turn at the close, with prices at Chicago
showing decline of 10 cents per barrel on
pork, 10 cents per 100 pounds on lard, and
20 cents on short rib sides, for July deliv-
cry. in comparison with q week ago
Prices of hogs have been well sustained,
making moderate advance subsequent TO
week ago, ruling easier at the close, at
about the same position as week ago for
the general average of operating markets. 81
The weeks exports of hog product were
liberal, and moderately in excess of cores
ponding period last wear The exports of
meats for March and April indicate about
5000, 900 pounds in excess of corresponding
time last year, and lard ar excess of 5000,
600 pounds or more

Money on call was rather active. St.

the amount of money necessary to move the

are relatively few farms throughout the
