Is Never Good Unless Properly Made.
A gentleman remarked that he had
heard so much of Postum, the Food
Coffee, that he concluded to try some
at his house
When it was served at the break
fast table it was a disappointment and
didn't taste half as good as expected,
and it was abandoned as a failure.
A few days later at a o'clock din
ner with q friend, the cup of coffee
served was dark rich and fragrant.
After drinking about half the contents
of the cup he was asked by the hostess
if he ever used Postum, the health cof-
fee, and his reply was that they tried
it once and didn't like it. 1t was diff
cult to make him believe that he had
just drank a cup of it. rs it possible
that this delicious beverage is Postum?
How do you make it?''
The hostess smiled and remarked that
it was her experience that cooks quite
generally blundered when preparing
new article for the first time. But if
you will insist on their boiling Postum
fifteen minutes-boiling not warming
it-you will produce a delicious bever
age that our family children and all,
could not get on without"
This incident leads to the remark
that if there be any who have been
kept from the use of the genuine Post
UNI Cereal Food Coffee by the slovenly
preparation, new trial with reason
able care will correct the first impress
sion. 1t is used and valued by the
great majority of citizens, and it is the
desire of the makers that it be known
favorably to all. Made at Battle Creek,

AFTER SIX YEARS.
An Alleged Innocent Man to be
Released From Prison.

In February, 1891, Thomas Sullivan
of Kern County was convicted on a
charge of assaulting the County Treas
urer with intent to commit robbery, and
was sentenced to fourteen years in San
Quentin.
Ever since his conviction Sullivan has
protested his innocence, and the evi-
dence taken at the trial showed that
he was not present at the time the as
sault was committed, but up to within a
few minutes of the time he had been
carousing with the parties who did So
A numerously signed petition praying
for his pardon, or a communication of the
sentence, was received by the Governor
some time ago, among the petitioners
being the County Treasurer on whom
the assault was made.
The Prison Directors made careful
examination into the case and reported
in favor of Sullivan's pardon, and in
accordance with their recommendation
the necessary papers were made out at
the Governors office yesterday.
On the 1st of October Sullivan will
walk out of prison free man.

No Likelihood Of a Change in the
Oregon Trains.

There has been some talk up north
of the passenger trains on the Califor-
MIA and Oregon road being run through
the Siskiyou and Shasta Mountains in
the night.
The railroad officials here say, how
ever. that they have had no intimation
Of any such change. They do not
think the company contemplates doing
anything of the kind, as the chief at
traction of that route is the grand

lave to be a physician to understand the
causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects. When a mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels mac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of p~oisons. The blood is the life-stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, it carries
and deposits them in every organ and it's
sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and
flesh-tissue, the brain cells and the nerve
fbres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food.
Serious ill-health is bound to result. The
man is weakened in every fiber of his body.
He is weakened physically, mentally and
morally. He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiness
and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep,
bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, and dul1ness throughout the day,
and lassitude and an indisposition to work.
Sooner or later these conditions develop
consumption, nervous prostration, malaria,
rheumatism, or some blood or skin disease.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the best of all known medicines for ambi-
tious, Woodworking men and women. 1t is
the great blood-maker and f~esh-builder.
1t makes the appetite keen and hearty, and
the digestion and assimilation perfect, the
liver active, the blood pure and rich, the
nerves steady, the body vigorous and the
brain alert. Where there is also const1pa-
ton DIR Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used. Both of these great medicines are

Theory Here:

The greatest claims for SIS. (Swift'l

will do, but the people prefer to read
of what 1t has done, and hence we give
the testimony OF reputable, we1l-known
people in different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how SIS. has cured
them of blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain.
No wonder SIS. has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
take it to-day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found it the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
in a dozen which claims to cure them;
Sc when SIS. is taken with satisfactory
results, after a disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, It is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

Those who Endure

The pains of rheumatism should be re-
minded that a cure for this disease may
be found in Hoods Sarsapsrilia. The
experience of those who have tas on
Hoods SarsaparilIa for rheumatism, AMI
have been completely and permanently
cured, prove the power OF this medicine
to rout and conquer this disease. Hood g
~Sarsaparilla is the One TTu Blood Puri-
fer and it nentralizes the acid whict
causes the aches and pains of rheu matism .
This is why it absolutely cures when
liniments and other outward a%pplicatiofs
