A San Francisco Printers Story.


Mr.. G. r. Remme resides at 80 Minna
street, San Francisco. He is printer by
profession, and Is employed in the office of
the San francisco Chronicle. During re-
cent conversation with the writer Mr..
Remme said: II am Californian by birth
and have lived here all my life. A number
OF years ago l caught severe cold, which
resulted in a bad case of chronic catarrh.
My head ached nearly all the time. Some
times II would only be dull ache, then
again 1t would be very severe. My eyes
watered and grew weak; my nose would
stuff up so that / could scarcely breathe
through II. Ms nose felt as though a strong
rubber band was stretched tightly across
the bridge of it. There was a constant
dropping Of mucus into my throat This
caused me to hawk and spit great deal.
This mucus was of a thick. tenacious char
acter, which was very hard to get up or
down, and which would almost strangle me
at times. There were queer noises in
my ears Ike the dronirg of bees
tite grew poor. the sight of food
was distasteful to me. / was restless at
night. and when morning came / felt more
tired than l had felt when / retired the
night before. MY tongue and teeth were
coated with white, Shiny substance, which
had bad taste, and the od0r was not at all
pleasant. L sought relief from physicians
and also from the various patent remedies
which one finds in the drug stores, but
dld not get any better; in fact, the disease
seemed working downward into the small
tubes Of my lungs, and in consequence L
could feel sharp, shooting pains in my side
and chest. a dry, hacking cough came on,
aud l lost in flesh and strength. / seemed
TO loose all ambition. / became careless of
everything, aud 1 always felt so tired it
seemed as though / never would get rested
again.
Il read Of Drs. Blair and Neal and of the
su ccess they were having with cases SINH
lar TO my own, and / applied for treatment
al their Office, 7O2 Market street. The doc.
tor told me l had nasal and bronchial
catarrh, and L began to improve at once IN
der their treatment. My nose and head
feel clear as a bell, and feel like new
man altogether. am very grateful to Drs.
Blair and Neal for what they have done
for me-"

A JEWISH FESTIVAL.
The Feast OF Passover Was inaugural.
Last Night.

The Feast OF Passover Was Inauguraied
Last Night.
At sundown yesterday the adheients of
the Jewish faith inaugurated the feast of
the Passover with time-honored and i'm
pressiye ceremonies,
1t Is a festival of a weeks duration which
is held in commemoraton of the time when
the lSraeiites sought relief from the
oppression OF Pharoah by leaving Egypt
and fleeing into the desert under the leader
ship OF Moses.
One Of the ancient customs observed in
our times only by the strictly orthodox
is to refrain from eating any but unleave1ed
bread during the Passover or Pesach week,
as reminder of the hasty flight of their
torefathefs, who had 10 leave their homes
without having time to leayen their bread.
In countries where exclusive Jewish COM
munities exist and the ancient customs are
still adhered TO, every household is furnished
with special set of tableware and linen TO
be used during Passover week only, it being
considered great religious crime to eat off
the same plates or use the same knives and
forks which are in use during the rest of the
year.
The modernized and liberal Jews, how
ever. long since have discarded all these
ancient usages, aud in America even the
most orthodox families will hardly go as
far as TO observe the week as prescribed by
Talmud.
In this city services were held in all the
synagogues last night, and there will be
special services again to-day.
Passover Is essentially a home festival
and Its principal observance lies in family
gatherings and holiday making.
This evening Alexander r. Oakley will lecture
before the Geographical Society Of the Pacific

Contrary to the generally accepted opinion

seQuently compelled the trust to call truce.
and to get rid OF so dangerous rival they

but paid him IS, 600, 900 to get out of theirs.
Had Mr.. Spreckels fallen in with the
views of the monopoly or been defeated in
his contest with ii. the refinery here would
have been closed down, its employees scat
tered. and the State would have been de-
pendent upon the East for Its sugar. By
his victory he has cleared profit Of So, OOO.-

FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH
The Generous Proposition Made
by Drs. Blair and Neal.
A Native Californian Gives Graphic
Description OF an Ailment He Has
Had for Years.

When Drs. Blair and Neal made their
generous proposition to treat all chronic
diseases for the uniform price Of $40 per
month they were not aware of the un-
scrupulous and unprincipled, not to say dis
honest, methods employed by the self-styled
specialists and charlatals who infest the
city, and whose representatives abuse the
liberty Of the city by patrolliug the principal
thoroughfares and forcing their ridiculous
claims, if not indecent literature, On all who
have the patience or politeness to take it;
their methods at times being so fragrant
that the city authorities were compelled to
issue q warning TO all residents and visitors
Of the city to beware of their INSCRIPTIONS
methods and pretentious claims.
Drs. Blair and Neal wish 10 emphasize
the official warning and particularly desire
to have it distinctly understood that they
have nothing in common with them.
In order TO prove their sincerity i'm this
respect and to give all an opportunity Of
determining for themselves. at a compare
lively small expense. the difference be-
tween the real and the bogus" the
genuine and the fake, they will for the
month Of April discount their previous
generous offer and treat all patients who
commence treatment before May / for the
uniform price of
So Per Month
As long rs under treatment Old patients
may continue at the same price. All medi-
cines-and the best. neutrality-suspicious.
or required furnished free. No charge for
examination or consultation either at office
or by mail.
Drs. Blair and Neal make this extremely
favorable propositions:
First-BecauSe they believe they have the
best. the most scientific and the most sue
cessful method of treating catarrh and kim
dred diseases in the world.
Second-BecauSe they know by many
yeais' experience and the testimony of
thousands OF grateful patients throughout
the country that they car offer an absolute
cure for catarrhal diseases.
Third-Because patients cured by them,
realizing the superiority of their methods,
bring their friends TO be cured likewise.
Lastly-TO prove TO The citizens of San
Francisco and vicinity that genuine special
lists, even if they advertise, may have supe-
riOr Skill and facilities for treating special
diseases, and may at the same time be honest
in their dealings with the public.
