JESSE GRANTS CONCESSION
Advantage to Be Taken of Privilege
Given by Mexico.

San Diego. Cal. May 10.-Lew B. Har-

fOrnia Mountain Water Company has
resigned to begin the development of a
guano concession recently obtained
from the Mexican government by Jesse
r. Grant giving him and his associates
an exclusive right to gether guano on
the coasts and islands of the Gulf of
California from the twenty-ninth par
allel northward A schooner will be
and will make a cruise of several
months in the gulf to locate the best
guanO deposits. The first cargo will be
brought to San Diego, though it is ex-
pected that another schooner or two
will be put on and that part of the pro-
duct will be taken to Honolulu for sale.
The price of gUanO has been constant
1y increasing with the greater demand
from orange and lemon orchards until
now it is about 81 per Ton.

MUNYON'S RHEUMATISM CURE.
His Honest Efforts Prove the Efficacy of His Rem
edy Meet With Unparalleled Success.
Distribution Office Capital COsed-Ask
Your Druggist for What You Want.

Friday and Saturday Prof. N1unyon ad-
vertised to give away, absolutely free,
5000 walls of the rheumatism Cure. re-
questing the newspapers of the city to in
vestigate and publish the results in each
case as reported to them, good or bad.
In this way Prof. Munyon proposes to
prove the efficacy of his rheumatism
Cure before asking the public to spend
one cent. Never before in the history of
medicine has there been a physician or
company which have dared to risk their
reputation III actual test of the remedies
by the people Such unbounded faith in
the virtue of their medicines as shown
by the Munyon company, at once gave
the public confidence in them, and the
result has been this:
Friday 1887 samples were given away
and Saturday the Capital building was
thronged with people anxiously waiting
to obtain a vial of Munyon's rheumatism
Cure. The demand exceeded that of the
previous day, and when the distribution
closed it was found that 2.12O sufferers
had been accommodated, and now there
are 4,107 sick and afflicted persons test
ing the value of the cure. AS the results
are published each day in the leading pa
pers, no doubt thousands who hav geiven
up all hope of being relieved will be
tempted to try this and other remedies,
just as effective, manufactured by the
Munyon company
During the past four years Prof Mum
yon has given away over 1000, 900 bottles
of his cure from leading daiies all over
the country, and in no case have they re-
ported, after careful investigation, less
than 80 per cent out of every 100 cured
or greatly benefited. What a contrast
between this honest method of proving
the virtue of his remedies and others who
promise so much, but always ask the
patient for money in advance.
Prof. Munyon does not expect you to
put any faith in his medicines until thOu>
sands have tested their merits. He does
not bring testimonials from other places
thousands of miles away, but obtains
them in your own city and state in
manner which prevents any possible
chance of deceit or unbelief.
If you are afflicted with any disease.
ask your druggist for a Munyon cure If
you are in doubt as to the nature of your
disease, write to Prof. NIunyon, 1905 Arch
street, Philadelphia. Skilled specialists
will make a thorough diagnosis of your

DIAMONDS ARE ALIVE.

Act as the Apostle of Won
Schroen's Discovery.

Chicago, May 1O-Professor Edouard
Won Hoist, who has lately returned
from Europe and taken up his chair in
the Chicago university, will shortly
make public the details Of the discovery
of life within crystals made by Pro-
fessOr Won Schroen, of Naples.
Won SchrOen is a Bavarian and he
made the discovery by bringing high
magnifying glasses to bear on crystals
of various forms He has preserved his
discovery by thousands of views taken
from about a dozen crystals. Professor
Won Hoist believes the discovery is one
of the most important made in science
for many years, and, although not a
scientist himself, he says that Spencer
and others have agreed upon the gen
ufneness and Importance of the discov-
cry.
