Are you ashamed to confess if you are a
young man that you have disease OF private
nature? Have you tried some patent remedy
for it and failed to effect a cure? Are you
neglecting and endangering your health by
hoping that time alone will effect cure? II
SO stop and consider for moment. In Dr.
Sweany you have a friend in whom you may
confide with the utmost safety. Your little
troubles will be kept as sacredly confidential
as though they were the country's secrets, and
YOU can get speedy and a sure cure. But dom

nROBABLY OF ALL THE DISEASES WHICH
L are most to be dreaded on account OF the
fearful consequences that ensue from them is
syphilis. That is the hard and harsh name by
which it is known, and it has struck terror into
MANY brave heart. But there was never a
disease vet which baffled the skill of all the
medical world for all time. and now it may be
stated as an accepted fact that if any of this
nature is taken to a COMPETENT SPECIALIST
in time it may be cured without the slightest
shadow of doubt. But here Is where the
trouble comes in There are any number of
people who will pretend that they can effect a
cure but the man who has such disease as
this should weigh the thing very carefully in
his mind before accepting the advice of any of
these so-cal1ed doctors There is no danger
when consulting an experienced man such as
DR.. Sweany is. In all the very best hospitals of
this country and Europe he has made the study
of this disease one of the prime objects of his
life, and it is not too much to say that he has
thoroughly mastered it. With the utmost con-
fidence man can now go to his offices (737
Market street, just opposite ''The Examiner
office, and no matter how badly he may have
neglected himself, no matter what form the
disease may have taken, no matter how many
men may have said that the case was incurable,
no matter now weary and wretched he feels,
he may go and coneult Dr. Sweany and come
away on the road to recovery. If you cannot
come to San Francisco you can write all about
your troubles, and you may be certain that
your letter viii receive the same consideration
as though you had come in person, and no one
except DR.. Sweany himself will ever know that
you have written. Your case will be thor
oughly studied and remedies will be forwarded
to you in just exactly the same way as you
could have got them in this city. And this
method OF treating country patients has been
found to be excellent in its good results. Bad
blood the result, possibly, OF syphilis in parents
or grandparents, often produces skin diseases
such as eczema, blotches, scaly eruptions,
swollen glands and SO forth, and in each and
all OF these cases. as well as in all other consti-
tutional troubles, the sufferer will lind In DR..
Sweany friend in need and one who Will
prove to be friend indeed. His success in all
kidney and bladder troubles has been most
marked, and impotency, varicocele, hydrocele
tand scrofula are likewise special features o
his practice, while instances OF premature de-
cav have been treated with unvarying success.
1t is no idle boast to say that all weaknesses of
the sexual organs are more scientifically treated
by DR.. sweany than by any other physician on
this coast for that fact is fairly admitted, and
he stands at the very head and front OF his pro.
fession, admittedly without peer.

Some people pay no attention to the small ills

Throughout Germany and others por-
tons Of central Europe, irrigation was
practiced some what extensively for the
production of grasses; especially on light
gravelly SOILS; and everywhere through
out Europe the art of irrigation is
rapidly developing.
In the United States a great impetus
was given to the art by the exodus Of
the Mormons from the valley of the
Mississippi to land which they hoped to
call desert, and which they undertook to
beautlfy with temples IN imitation of the
oriental civilization OF antiquity, but
which is now known as Utah. They
learned Of irrigation as practiced by the
Mexicans and Indians, and at once en-
gagged IN the enterprise OF redeemlng the
deserts OF Great Salt Lake valley.

streams OF pure crystalline waters, that
flow from the mountains of the region.

munities, where climate and water sup

now they have manv fields, vineyards,

Sleepy Grass.

In some parts of New Mexico there
grows grass which produces a SOM
niferous effect on the animals that Craze
upon it. Horses, after eating this grass,
in nearly all cases sleep standing, while
COWS and sheep almost invariably lie
down. 1t has occasionally happened
that travellers have stopped to allows
horses to feed in places where the grass
grew pretty thickly, and the animals
have had time to eat considerable
quantity before it's effects manifested
themselves. In snch cases horses have
gone to sleep on the road, and it is hard
to arouse them.
The effect of the grass passes off in an
hour or two, and no bad results have
ever been noticed on acc unit of it,
Cattle on the ranches frequently come
upon patches of this grass, where they
feed for perhaps half an hour, and then
fall asleep for an hour or more, when
they wake up and start feeding again.
The programme is repeated perhaps a
dozen times, until thirst obliges them to
60 to water. Whether, like the poppy,
the grass contains opium, or whether
it's sleep producing property is due to
some other substances has not been

The myceloid threads of the fungus,

having chlorophyl, manufactures starch

which grows in abundance all over Flor
ida, except in the hilly regions.
Recent experiments show that buttew
natural growths in the State possess so
many elements of utility and profit as
this despised and much cursed plant.
That the saw palmetto will, at no dis
tant day, become an important factor
in the finances of the State, cannot be
questioned, when the fact is known that
every part of it can be utilized to adj
vantage. The berries are used for me-
dicinal purposes, and the plant yields a
fiber that is unexcelled for mattress
making, as well as for many other pur'
poses, The roots contain large quanti-
ties Of tannic acid, which has been found
to give excellent results when used in
the tanning of leather. and from which
are also made indestructible brushes.
Mr.. W. F. Rotzien of st. Andrews
Bay, who has had considerable expert
ence with the plant, writes to Commits
siOner Chipley, of the Cotton States Elk
position, concerning it, as follows:
