SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Guaranteed Cure For
BRIGHT's DISEASE.

From a formerly infrequent disease,
Br1ghts has become almost as common
and chronic as malaria or bad liver.
Bright's Disease is not in itself specific,
but most generally follows albumenona.
The albumen gathers and solidities IN
the canals Of the kidneys, and like the
stoppage Of the tubes Of the boiler, pres
ages dire consequences. From the Oh
structiOn of the tubes ulcers follow, and
these organs become the throne of death.
The symptoms are strongly like those
of Diabetes-dull pains in the lolns, con-
slant desire to make water with little re-
suit. The skin takes on pale hue, the
appetite disappears, the body wastes,
and frequently dropsy and bowel infiam-
nation follow.
Treatment-A dozen or more glasses of
Suwanee Springs Water a day should be
taken at the start. The general expert
ence with this disease is that the guam
tity should only be limited by ones ca
pacity, the lightness Of the water and the
freedom from taste permits much
larger consumption than one would
think possible. With beneficial results
appearing a gradual diminution of guam
tity taken follows

CALIFORNIA BUDS.
Large Quantities of Them Obtained
for Florida Groves.

Ocala, Fla, Oct. 15.-J. b. Borland of
Citra has just returned from an extended
visit to the fruit section of California,
whittier he went for the purpose of Sc
curing buds from the famous pineapple
variety of oranges, known as the pineap-
pie, and which, strange to say, he sup
piled to the California orange-grower not
so many years ago. OF the pineapple va
riety he secured 1900 buds, several thou
sand of the King and Harris tardiff va
rieties. With these buds he will proceed to
bud the fine shoots which have sprung up
from the shoots of his trees since the
freeze.
Mr.. Borland who is one of the most ex-
tensive, and up to the freeze, the most
successful orange growers in the state
says mis- observation in California is that
however that famous state maybe viewed
Tor small fruits, grain, grasses, minerals
ana grand scenery, ii can not compete
with this state on oranges.
Mr.. Is. is also satisfied it will pay to bud
IN the best fruit in the groves and those
who do so will reap their reward. He has
falth in orange growing and advises young
Systematically and thoroughly, and they
VIII make money out of the industry.
Without prejudice, he says the climate
and soul of Florida are superior for
oranges to the climate and soil in Cali
tornia. He noted the fact that the soil
there is hard and dry. Here it is loose and
There most of their trees are seedling;
and while he saw many fine groves yet
taxing the range they did not compare
with our groves previous TO the freeze.
lie noticed also that their trees are
subject to blackscale, especially the older
seedlings and it is very insidious, dan
gerous infection and will down many a
growth to decay and death. Before
shipping his California buds he gave
them most thorough cleansing in the
best known disenfecting washes extant
for killing and removing the black scale
He says the red spider" and white
ny OF Florida is no comparison in their
raVaging and destroying tendencies
compared to the California black SCALE
He had thoroughly eradicated the spid-
er and fly from his groves previous to
the freeze and is satisfied he can do it
in any grove so infected, if the proper
persistency and labor is applied.
Mr.. Borland came to Citra twenty years
ago, from Ohio, poor young man. Since
that time he has devoted his whole time
to the study and culture of the orange.
Up to the freeze he had accumulated a
fortune, and being only a middle aged
man, if life is spared him, notwithstand-
another fortune.
The grand jury will get through with
its labors tomorrow. The mayor this
morning fined VIII Hooker 81 for knock
ing down Attorney Pettingill of Tampa,
Saturday, for impugning the honor and
reputation of his father, Judge w. A
Hooker of this district. Attorney Pettin-
