Virginia City Nevada, Jan, ~, 1897.
Nantanie mare driven by Superin-
tendent Lyman, of the Con. Virginia
Mine on the C',mstock Lode had been in
the stable, unable to work from the kick
Of another animal, received on the inside
OF the right fore leg above the knee. The
skin had been broken and the muscles
and tendons severely bruised. During a
weeks time l had given the limb such
treatment as. from thirty years professi-
onal experience, [ thought beneficial;
but without avail. The leg was swollen
to nearly twice its natural size, and the
swelling would not yield to treatment.
On Thursday evening, June Is, 1896, |
made the first application of the liniment
Trib, thoroughly rubbing in half of six
ounce bottle over the whole leg. | ap-
piled 1t regularly twice Il day for the next
three days. o.! the fourth day the mare
went to work, completely cured-the
most surprising and satisfactory cure
coming under my observation during a
lifetime devoted to the treatment of
borses.
During the past eight months | have
used this lini;nent regularly in my prac-
uce Trih fultills al! its promises.
An especially valuable feature of Trih

strength of the most powerful liuinents,
it does not blister.

At the Lagoon.

Although the season does not open
at the Lagoon until a week from to-
morrow, several car loads of visitors
thronged that rural resort yesterday.
They listened with delight to the pleas
ing strains of the mammoth orcheS-
trion; strolled around the lake, in
which thousands Of the finny tribe are
stored, only awaiting the opening or
the fishing season; took in the various
improvements now under way; wan
dered off into the highways and byways
of the pretty little town of Farming
ton near at hand; gathered the butter
cups and the cowSliDS, which grow IN
prcfusiOn within stones throw of the
big PAVILION, and in other ways en-
joyed themselves as only true lovers OF
nature can do.
The only trouble was lack OF re-
freshments, and as the resort has not
vet been formally opened, no one can
be blamed for that save the visitors
It has been formally announced, how
ever that the restaurant will be IN the
hands of Fred Wilson, and that the
bar will be managed by S. j. Levy,
both of when are now doing all in their
power to arrange matters for the COM
fort of their patrons.
The electric light wiring is all but
completed, and it will be but a few
days ere Pennington will distance her
sister cities by having the cheerful rays
shine through her streets
There was a time when the Lagoon
was a suburb of Pennington; the time
seems to be close at hand when Farm
ington will be a suburb of the Lagoon
