Hoods sfP's;'siiI' Cures

Hoods Sarsaparilla in his case has truly done
wonders, and he is daily gaining in flesh and
good color. He runs about and plays as lively
as any child. We feel an inexpressble tov at
having our boy restored to health and we
always speak in the highest terms of Hoods
Sarsaparilla." Mrs. HENRY w. MURPHY,

He Was a Mere skeleton.

He had no appetite, and 1t was hard work to
make him eat enough to keep him alive. A few
weeks later we had his hip lanced, and follow
ing this five other eruptiOns broke out, making
eight running sores in ALL We did all we could
for him, but he grew weaker every day, al
though we had three of the best physicians.
AS last resort we were prevailed upon
by relatives who had taken Hoods Sarsa-
parilla with beneficial results to give the mSdI-
cine trial We got one bottle about the first
of March, 1892, and he had taken the medicine
only few days when his appetite began to
improve. When he had taken one bottle he
could move about a little with his crutches,
which he had not been able to use for the pre-
ceding three months We continued faithfully
with Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in months he was
Able to Be Dressed
and 60 about the house without the crutches.
He has now taken Hoods Sarsaparilla regularly
for eighteen months, and for the past six months
has been without the crutches, which he has
outgrown by several incAes. The sores have all
healed with the exception of one which is
rapidly closing, only the scars and an occasional
limp remaining as reminders Of his suffering.

Claiming Seats in the Next House

Already the announcement rs made
of the contest of twent, six seats in
the House of Representatives of the
Fifty fourth Congress, and the re
turns are not all il. Among the mum
erous contestants there is not one
Democrat. The fact indicates what
is thought on both sides of the judi
ciai character of a committee on elec
tions in Republican House.
In the Fifty first or Reed Con
gress, eleven Democrats were hurled
from their seats in order to make a
working Republican majority. In
some instances defeated Republican
candidates were urged to make a
contest, with the assurance that the
committee would decide in their ia
vor In other instances the people
of the districts were not aware that
there were Republican candidates for
Congress until their claims had been
filed. The extraordinary number of
contests shows that the claimants
entertain the confident belief that the
iniauitous violation OF the rights of
representation IN the Fifty first Con
gress will be repeated in the Fifty
fourth Congress.

California as a Saniiarium

In an article written for the Califor-
MAN, Lieutenant John p. Finley, of
the United States Weather Bureau:
makes the, following statement,
Theoretically California should fur
nish the best and the most varied
health resorts and sanitarium in the
United States. Within her borders
almost every form of wasting disease
should find the means of temporary,
if not permanent relief"
This theoretical statement, from all
unbiased, scientific standpoints, is
fully and abundantly confirmed by
actual experience. The cool and brae-
ing coast climate, devoid of any trace
of malaria, extends from the northern
part of the State to the extreme south.
There is the choice between this cool,
humid atmosphere and the dry, warm
atmosphere of the inland valleys.
In the matter of altitude there is a
yet greater difference. From Palm
Valley, 300 feet below sea level, to the
upper Sierras, 1000 or 5000 above,
any altitude can be selected, and
comfortable homes be founded.
The popularity of an almost rain
less summer, during which the injur-
ious germs of animal and vegetable
decay are destroyed by thorough desi-
cation, is one of the striking features
of California climate
During the rainy season it is usual
ly too cool to facilitate fermentation,
and the result is, except along some
Of the river valleys, an absolutely pure
atmosphere. The ocean winds enter
ing through the several coast openings
are tempered by the intermediate area
passed over, and often receive desira-
bic healing properties by taking up
the resinous odors of the pines and
redwoods on the Coast Range.
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting To-
cality where climate environment will
do all that these agencies can ever do
toward the restoration of health.
There is enough of wildness to keep
the mind constantly engaged, and
enough of civilization to satisfy the
most eXacting.
Sufferes from pulmonary diseases
people whose systems are charged
with malaria, OF are ''run down" by
over work, find immediate and in
many cases permanent relief in this
invigorating climate, establishing

ligent persons, whether physicians OF
laymen, that 'Nature is the best

The Pains ef Rheumatism

According to the best authorities,
originate in a morbid condition OF the
blood Tactic acid caused by the de-
composition of the gelations and al
luminous tissues, cireulates with the
blood and attacks the fibrous tissues,
particularly in the joints, and thus
causes the local manifestations of the
disease. The back and shoulders are
the parts usually affected by rheuma-
tism, aud the joints at the knees,
ankles, hips and wrists are also some
times attacked. Thousands of people
have found in Hoods Sarsaparilla a
positive and permanent cure for rheu-
matism. II has had remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the cause
of the disease by neutralizing the lac
tic acid and purifying the blood, a,
well as strengthening every function
OF the body.

Discharge from the Ear Can BE Cured.


Scarlet fever, measles, and colds, by
liberation of hole in the ear drum,
introduce a condition that leads to
offensive discharge, and deafness that
seldom ever "cures ITSELF but grad
ually gets worse by the addition Of I'M
healthy granulations, and polypold
tumors in the middle cavity of the
ear, or by alterations through TO the
bone, with Inflammation and deposit
of pus in the base of the brain, result
ing in death. With such a condition
that only leads from worse to worse,
why will you delay to apply the sure
means of relief. That such cases are
durable has been demonstrated over
