the remarkable cure of peculiar pain in
her back:
-Four years ago / was attacked with a
severe pain in the spine, close to the small
of my back. 1t was especially painful
going up or down stairs. After using
over ten remedies, and consulting half a
dozen physicians without any benefit,
my husband applied one ALLCocK' S
Porous PLASTER directly over the seat
of pain. kept it on a week, and fancied
/ was little better. then put on fresh
one. At the end of week my husband
noticed that the plaster was pulled up in
the middle. Upon taking it off, hole
about the size of a quill was found, which
discharged yellow matter very freely.
Another plaster was put on with good
sized hole in the center of it, to enable the
matter to escape. The plaster appeared
to draw with great power, and the dis
charge increased every twenty-four hours
little. AT least pint of matter was dis
charged from the wound before got en-
tirely well, which was exactly five weeks
from the time 1 put the first plaster on.
/ used altogether eleven plasters, and
thanks to them, have not since had an

resemble rs near as possible the deck OF a

masts, and to these were hung the spars
with furled sails.

The Selection of the Mission and
Seventh-Street Site Must Stand If
Good Title Can Be Given.
special 10 the REcoRD-UN1oN.

WASHINGTON Cd. CO.. Oct. 27.-Assist-
ant Secretary Crounse, in the absence of
Secretary of the Treasury Foster, received
from the President of the San Francisco
Board of Trade to-day telegram stating
that the Board was about to hold a meet
ing concerning the San Francisco Post
Office site, and asking whether the latter
was definitely settled yet, and whether a
protest would avail anything
Upon receipt of this telegram Secretary
Crounse went at once to the Law Depart
ment to see Attorney-Ge Miller con-
cerning the matter, and after discussion
OF the question with Mr.. Miller, he sent
a telegram saying that the matter might
be considered settled, unless L. 6.
Harvey failed to furnish perfect evidence
OF title, i'll which case, of course, the Gov
ernments offer to buy the Seventh and
Mission streets property would not stand,
rs it was stipulated clearly in the local
Postoffice Commissions offer that abso-
lutte evidence of title should be furnished
by Harvey and at his own expense. II
the latter is done, Mr. Crounse SAYS the
only remedy of the dissatisfied people of
San Francisco lies at the hands of Con-
gresS. Said he: "Our offer to Mr.. Harvey,
made through our San Francisco Com
missionerS, is binding, in my opinion and
in the opinion of Attorney-General Mill
Ter, and Mr.. Harvey could hold the Gov
ernment to its contract
Mr.. Crounse further stated that since
his connection with the Treasury Depart
ment he had made it a rule in every case
affecting poStoffice sites to publish the de-
partment'S choice of sites long in advance
OF the final selection, SO that the people
on every side of the question could be
heard from.
the first intimation of the local Postotfice
Commissioners choice of Seventh and
Mission streets had not been published
many months ago, and being told that the
fact was made public as long ago as last
May, Secretary Crounse said that it was
his understanding, also, that the San
Francisco POStotfice Commission sub
mitted st that time several sites, three of
which were recommended as especially
available, and the first named OF which
was the corner of Seventh and Mission
streets.
$50 you see," said he, "the people of
San Francisco have had plenty of time to
discuss this matter, and be heard by the
department. 1t has been many months
now since this San Francisco site matter
was first agitated, and the seeming inter
minable wrangle has retarded our action.
But after the San Francisco Commission,
consisting of representative and good
San Francisco citizens, settled upon this
site, and as Secretary Foster, Attorney
General Miller and myself favored it, we
felt that it was the right selection, and so
made the contract with Harvey. The
Postmaster General himself, who in per-
son visited San Francisco and inspected
these several sites, favored Seventh and
Mission streets as his second choice. The
selection must stand.''

Where the Shoe Pinches.

[Los Angeles Daily Times, October 24th.l
The Sacramento RECoRD-UNIo1y comes
very near pointing out Where and how
San Francisco's shoe pinches when il
says: 1.-The great bulk of the commerce
carried to the Pacific Coast comes by
rail. San Francisco is on the very west
ern verge of the continent. The rail
routes run through the country for which
San Francisco aspires to be the distrib-
uting center. The problem is to carry
merchandise from Eastern centers to San
Francisco at a rate SO low that the city by
the sea viii be enabled to become the dis
tributing point back over the very routes
once traversed by the traffic and into the
territory through which the traffic has
been carried. This is San Francisco's
problem" Hence the contOrtions of the
San Francisco Traffic Association.
