AROUND AZTEC.
Impressions Of An Immigrant from Mis-
souri, Of San Juan County.


In a letter to the Reflex, published at
Buffalo, Mo, w. A. Coon, who recently
arrived in Aztec with a party of fellow
Missourians, describes his trip and the
country through which he passed, end
ing it with the following accurate and
interesting description of San Juan
county:
BY this time we We're sick and tired
of the reservation, and proceeded down
the valley for Aztec. After reaching
the territory of New Mexico the valley
becomes broader, and many beautiful
farms were to be seer on either side Of
the stream. Instead of beholding snow
we saw all kinds of fruit trees in bloom.
Upon reaching Aztec we soon found
Granville Pendleton, who welcomed us
in the good old Missouri manner and
made us feel at home.
Our journey lay on down the valley to
Pennington, which is one of the pref
| test places | have ever seen. The roads
are good, and one can easily drive sixty
| or seventy miles in a day. Our crowd
was highly pleased with the country,
| and frankly told Judge Pendleton he
| had not over-estimated the country in
the least particular. From Pennington
| we went up the San Juan river, where
| Mr.. Corkins purchased a lovely ranch
| of $50 acres under fence and irrigation
| for only $1,000. Mr.. Corkins has a fine
farm of 200 acres of fine Missouri land
heal Bethany worth $4,000 or $40, 600,
| and he will go back home and dispose
| of it and come to his beautiful farm and
| stock ranch in Sal Juan county, N. M.
I think there is no question but that
Drs. Phillips and Clayton will locate
also.
Aztec has a fine two-story brick
school building. a roller mill, one or two
churches, a good bridge across the AMI
mas, and is the county seat of San Juan
county. Nearly all of the settlers are
from Missouri, so o may know the
society is first class. Land car be pro-
cured for a small sum, already irrigated
| and in cultivation. The soil is of the
best quality I have seen, and is of great
| depth. Taxes are low, and all farm
products are very high. The water sup
ply is inexhaustible, and there is no
such thing as a failure in crops. 1t is
the greatest fruit country in the world.
Time will not permit me to give a long
er account of this lovely country, but If
any of the readers feel interested in this
country I will take pleasure in writing
them personally about this lovely eli
mate, where a poor man can grow rich
and live happy.

Why Women Are Nervous.
British Medical News. |

-
The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse Of the nervous
system under which women go all to
pieces as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms of ner-
vous diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Fur
ther research leads to the belief that
alum is a prevailing cause of so-called
nervous prostration, for the symptoms
1t produces on the nervous system after
its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments phys
iologically made upon animals by Or
fila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim,
and others, show that alum frequently
produces no visible symptoms for many
days after its introduction into the body.
Then follow loss of appetite and other
alimentary disturbances, and finally a
serious prostration of the whole nervous
system. The most prominent physl-
clans now believe that NERVOUS pros
tration' and many affections of the
nerves from which both men and women
suffer are caused by the continued alb
sorption of alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical men
are unaware of the extent to which salts
of alumina may be introduced into the
body, being under the impression that
the use of alum in bread is prohibited.
| Alum, however, is still used s,Irrepti-
tiously to some extent to whiten bread,
and very largely in making cheap kinds
of baking powder. In families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream of tartar.
The alum powders may generally be dis
tinguished by the lower price at which
they are sold.
