Of 1889 provided that agricultural
and pastoral lands of ten acres shall
be exempt frem city tax, where such
tracts were included in the consent

1891 the Legislature repealed that
statute aud provided that asticul-

were to be exempt;but Of forty acres

THE TYSON CURE.
Its Success in Eescuing Victims of the
Drink aud Opium Habit.

Its Success in Rescuing Victims of the
Drink aud Opium Habit.
BY one who has tried it,.
The Tyson cure for alcoholism has passed
from the region OF theory and experiment into
the broad daylight of fact. The public is daily
becoming more and more familiar with the
gratifying truth that an antidote fer alcoholism
has at last been discovered and is available for
the relief and rescue of victims who are now
on the ro I'd to a drunkard's grave. The claims
of the remedy have been fully published. As
case after case has been successfully tire ated at
the Tyson institute those of the public who
have anxiously watched the outcome OF the
test have found abundant reason to hail the
new aat.dote as a real and substantial blessing
to frail and fallen humanity.
That drunkenness or alcoholism or dipso-
msnia il a disease is no longer controverted.
If further proof were necessary, it has been
opportunely supplied by DR.. Usher in his work
entitled Alcoholism and Its Victims Drunk-
ardy according to this thesis, should no longer
be dealt with as malefaetors or as willtul law
breakers to be fined and imprisoned bat the y
should be treated as victims of terrible dis
ease.
new era has surely been inaugurated in the
history of the treatment OF drunkenness. That
the Tyson Cure is safe and sure there can be
no doubt. The writer Of this article is living
witness to the wonderful efficacy of the Tyson
REMEDY. He was cured in three weeks az the
Institute in Stockton, ana can be seen and in
terrogated any day by earnest seekers after
truth. For prudential reasons he at present
declines to publish his name and address, but
it's known to the editor OF this paper and the
the manager of the Tyson sanitarium, who can
give corroborative testimony il necessary, The
writer predicts for the Tyson Care ever in
