becoming the focus of sufferers from all
parts Of the continent.
At nearly all of the leading hotels are one
or more people from Eastern points who
have travelled here for the express purpose
of being freed from their rheumatism, while
at the same time enjoying the delightful ad-
yantages of CALIFORNIA; superb winter eli

to rid himself of a disagreeable com anion
"a case of seiatic rheumatism of thirteen
years standing The distinguished expo
nent of the law made 10 attempt 20 conceal
his mission TO this coast. but, on the other
hand, frankly stated that he had confidence

For many years." said the eminent
jurist, 81 have wanted to come 10 Califor-
MIA, but ! was so tied up by my profession
that l thought l could not possibly get
away. Quite number of my friends here
have sent me newspaper clippings regard
ing the infalible success that is said to
have attended the use of DR.. Pl0uf's dis
covery, but l never paid much attention to
them until / learned that an acquaintance
of mine at Hill City, in my State, had been
cured. / was very much surprised at this,
for he was superintendent OF the smelling
works at that place and was in worse FIX
than myself. | became interested and took
run over 10 view The reported transforma-
ton. 1t was true. He was n well man and
haia't 4 pain or an ache. He told me OF
others who had used the remedy with as
signal success as himself, and / concluded
that if there was good thing like that on

the benefit OF H. A week later my trunk
was packed. ! boarded the train, and that
is why you see me here. OF course know
that il really wasn't necessary Tor me TO
come to San Francisco in order to be
treated, for those IN Dakota had the medl-
cine shipped to them direct from the doc

the Nucleus block and have supply of the
