BEECEIER ON ADVER RTISING
DOCTORS.
San Francisco Chronicle.

81 am glad that the doctor cured
him; am glad that the doctor put it into
the paper that he could cure him. And if
any doctor is certain he can cure such
diseases and don't put it into the paper,
am sorry. What a pity it would have
been had this doctor come to town with
his wealth of science and experience and
gone away leaving him uncured! What a
pity it would have been if he had been SO
prejudiced against advertising as to read
the responsible certificates of the doctor
and gave him the go:by as quack! What
are newspapers for. if not to circulate in
formation? What more valuable informa-
ton can newspaper give than to tell
sick man where he can be cured? If a
III an has devoted his life and labor to the
study of special class of diseases, the
necessity of his saying SO becomes all the
more pressing. His duty to advertise be-
comes imperious. really able man,
whatever be his gifts, makes a great mis-
take if he fails to use those gifts through
want of advertising"
The above extract from an article by the
Rev. Mr.. Beecher embodies sound view
of the subject of advertising. Suppose Dr.
Darrin, at 265 Morrison street, this city,
had come to the city and not advertised,
who would know of his presence? Who
miraculous cure he performed in 1872, had
not Mr.. Dibble put it in the paper?
Mr.. Editor: In 1872 my daughter was
taken with the membraneous Group, and
upon her recovery was left totally deaf.
l called on two eminent physicians, who
said they could do nothing for her. As a
last resort, took her to DIR. Darrin, who
cured her; and she has never been troubled
with deafness since. ] consider it one of
the greatest cures of electrical treatment

DEAR MRS. P!NKHAM:-It Is with

others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhna badly. and
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse. until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time. and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse. appear

"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
ponnd. and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle 1 felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
II think 1t is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf-

Maternity is q wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. IfMrs. Pax

Railroad Extension.


Considerable excitement prevails from
Lakeview, Lake county. Oregon, all
along the line to Reno. New, owing to
the recent authenticated report of the
extension of the Nevada & California
railroad from Amedu, CAL, north. The
news Of the purchase of over 5000 tons
of steel rails in New York by the own
ers of this road was sent out last week,
and the material will be shipped i'm
mediately to Amedu, preparatory to
beginning of extension work in the
spring. This is a narIow-guage road
now terminating at Amedu, and it is
concluded that the next terminus will
be Van Loans, 65 miles north. and
nearly crossing over the great NADIA
line plains. 1t will place Lakeview
within 105 miles of railroad transl or
tation, and will make a considerable
difference in stock shipping, freighting
and passenger travel. The object oi
the proposed extension is to head off
the Southern Pacific Company, which
is now extending it's line from Upton
through the great McCloud timber belt
to Fall River.
