His head and body were a mass
Of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was

him, but he grew worse until his cond-

had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice OF friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specific), and
at first the inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided inn
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew Of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized, him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"

Why Is 1t.

Why do the gold powers of the
world combine TO cut off the mar
ket for silver for coinage purposes
and depress its prices! Because
they think that the people are
fools enough to believe that sill
yer is not fit for money if it is
not worth just as much when
there is no demand for it,for coin
age purposes as it was when there
was a universal demand. In other
words, they act upon that theory
that the people are too ignorant
to know that it is the coinage de-
mand for both gold and silver
which fixes their price, because
that demand is hundreds of times
greater than all other demands.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from un-
healthy kidneys is the chief cause
of bladder troubles. SO the
womb, like the bladder, was Gre
ated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in
rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder,
therefore any pain or lnconven.
fence manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by mistake, attributed to

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult TO cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their eff
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, aud can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
it is important for this reason that inn
mediate attention Ds given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest taint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, $50 Elm St., Macon,
Ca, writes:
"My boy, Charlie, inherited scrofu-
lous blood taint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for
one purpose, namely, receptacle
for the urine, and as such it is
not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way
is from careless local treatment
of other diseases.

Fiesta Flashes

The good round sum of $120 was real
iEed for the fund for the unemployed
by the admittance fee charged last night
to the Niagara Falls display at the store
of p. H. Mathews, the paint dealer on
Main street. More than thousand peo-
pie visited the falls, which were brightly
, illuminated, and presented a handsome
appearance.
The following telegram was received
yesterday at Fiesta headquarters: "Chi-
cago, April 23, 1897. Ferd. K Rule, Pres
ident La Fiesta, Los Angeles: Chicago

thing for Southern California. Viva FL

The electrical illuminations of the FL
esta, which did SO much to enhance the
beauty Of the night pageant and the wa
ter carnival, were put up under the SUI
pervision of Messrs. Woodill & Hulse.
The pyramids of incandescent lights
which spanned thep rincipal street in
tersections were their own idea and have
never before been attempted.
When the floral tributes offered to the
queen yesterday by the school children
were gathered together, so numerous
were the beautiful gifts that it was i'm.

When the school children were passing
in review before the queens throne yes
terday the little pages stood on the plat
form waiting to take the flowers as they
were received. Some of the boys in the
procession were SO dazzled by the white
satin and silver laced splendor that they
were almost rooted to the spot. Military

treme to their northern brothers. This
may not indicate a better nature or q
bigger heart, but it does surely make the
wheels of life revolve smoothly and
without friction. A relaxation of con-
ventional rulee, on the other hand, seems
TO spur the northern nations on to undue
license, and then masquerading becomes
a nuisance If no worse.
AT the same time it Is wonderful how
the carnival idea is spreading, and no.
where with the same rapidity as in Cali
fornia. Every town that has any pre-
tensions at all either has in the past or
intends in the near future to have an
annual festival whether 1t is known by
the name of carnival or not From the
Mexican Gulf to the Canadian border
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific all
the large cities are falling into line In
this regard.
Locally carnival night is looked for
ward to with anticipation, for the scene
at about IL o'clock on the main thorough
fares is almost without parallel. At that
hour it seems as If Bedlam had broken
loose and all the oddly grotesque charac-
ters were indulging in the very widest
kind of frolic.

Carnival has come and gone and as
usual went out in blaze Of glory-such
as 1t was.
A large number of people on the streets
last night donned not only mask and
domino, but full masquerade costume.
Truth to tell there was a greater variety
Of characters represented than at the
coronation ball, which opened La Fiesta
Some of these were admirably conceived
and quite frequently we'll sustained.

In a strange and foreign character, and
viewing the shortcomings and pecca-
dlllos of our fellows has an attractive
ness all its own. But it is doubtful
whether this particular feature Of carni-
val will ever fasten strongly ON the
American people. Inasmuch as carnival
night at the New Orleans Mardi Gras is
firmly established in the regard OF the
people of the south, 1t might be thought
that that In itself was a refutation of
any such doubt regarding the masqer-
aiding of carnival night elsewhere. But
the Mardi Gras Is. probably. the excep-
ton that proves the rule.

All the afternoon these friends came
and went, discussing the events of the
