start with constipation. Constipation is the
cause of nine-tenths of all human sickness.
Some of its symptoms are sick and bilious
headache, dizziness, sour stomach, loss of
appetite, foul breath, windy belchings,
heartburn, pain and distress after eating.
All these are indicative of derangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels, and all
are caused by constipation. DR.. Pierces

and most certain cure for this condition.

SCiiatiC Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only be obtained by using real blood reme- dy. So many people who are sufferers from an obstinate or deep-seated blood disease make the mistake of taking rem edies which al best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. It is in just such cases which other so-called blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S. has made some of the most won- derful cures. Rheumatism is one of the most obstinate diseases of the blood, and there are few remedies which have any effect whatever upon it.
 Mir. Asa Smith, who resides at Green castle, Indiana, where he is well known. writes:
 "For many years have suffered from that terrible disease known as Scia,ic Rheumatism, which tue treati,-at of many physicians failed to relieve. have also used nearly every known blood remedy, but they did me no good, as they did not seem to reach my case at all. Possibly my con aition and the extent of rIy sufferings

The following is from Secretary Csriisls's speech of 1879. before he was hypnotized by Clev eland: According to my view, the conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legislAtion and otherwise from three-sevenths to ene-half of the metallic mooey of the world is the most gigantic crime Of this or any other age. The consum- nssion of such . scheme would ultI- mate,y entsil more misery upon the human rsce than all the wars. pesti- fences and faminss that ever occurred in the history of the wosld." And yet he, sn American, born and reared on the soil that hes produced % many patriots, was willing, for the gid of . cabinet petition, to turn his back upon his race and become . party o this crime, and by % doing loss his oppos- ss.isy os being psssihsss

RAILROAD EXTENSION.
Probably Work will Begin
 Within Six Months.

According To the Star, no recen, io- formation hss been given out on the -ubject of the extension Of the Giia Valley, Globe sNd Northern railroad, out there is a feeling along the line that within the next six months the road will be pushing it's way across the San Carlos reservation. Captain Myer, of Sao Carlos, says shat the complications which stopped the road at Geronimo may be easily ar d quickl, removed.
 An accident connected with the lase establishment of s postoffice at Geron- mo indicates that the railroad com pany does not intend to allow that desert station to rem ain the northern terminus 0. the line very long. The present contract with the government for carrying the mails provides io. service only as far as Fort Thomas. Since the new office was established aud the station agent at Geronimo was appointed postmaster, Geronimo mail has been sent on to the terminus but the railway mail agent has not accompanied it. All mail for San Carlos and Globe is forward, d directly from Fort Thomas.
 The railroad company was asked by the government t. submit bid for the extension of the service to Geronimo. President Garland replied that the line was so short ths. i, Nas hardly worth while but that the company would carry the mails for nothing. 30 she service between Fort Thomas and Geronimo as we'll as the posto flee at the latter place costs the govern ment nothing. It is inferred that the generosity of the railroad compsny is inspir-d Ly the knowledge that it will soon be able to offer bid on 6 ,arg, r route.

ARIZONA'S CLIMATE
Pronounced the Best in North
 America.

The following from the Globe Silver Belt is true and to the point. l, should be afforded . wide circulation among eastern people. whose idess of Arizona are merely gathered from ouch ysrns As the "soldisf" story, quo- ted by the Belt. The Belt says that Arizona has been much derided by eastern newspapers on aecout Of it's alleged swssltering heat, and they have frequently grown iacetious at our expense. The story of the soldier whose terrestrial quarters when in the flesh were al Fort Yuma and who up- on passing in his checks was relegatsd to hades, and sent back for his blsn. kets, fearing that he might freeze 10 death in the neither world. has done service for many years and become . hosry chestnut, and since the recent torrid wave throughout the eastern atstss, it has ceased to excite the risi- bilities of the variest tyro.
 In every one of she cities ess, o! the Mississippi the excessive heat of the past two weeke has been very destrnc- tive of human life. In New York city alone more than 800 persons died from the effects of heat in three days.
 Contrasted with the stmospheric conditions prevailing in Arizona dur ing the summer season every ono si the eastern states as far north ss Mich. igsn makes very unisvorabls show ing for salubrisy. In Arizona the air is so dry and evaporation so rapid tba, extreme temperatures canse but very little discomfort, and prostrstious are almost unknown. A Phy siciAn who has travelled all over the the world to investigate the effects Of heat upon the human body in health and disease gave it e his experience that the eli. mate of Ariz )na was superior to any ether section of North America.
