The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed
cast out demons, but it will cure rheu-
matism, and hundreds bear testimony
to the truth of this statement. One
application relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale by
Oakland Pharmacy, Oakland, and J.

ers did not get away from Seattle,
Washington, until Wednesday of

ship Garonne having been delayed
until that day. A letter from Sena-
tor Ravenscroft written half an hour
before the boat left stated that all
were well and that the party in the
opinion of expert miners was better
equipped for successful mining than
any set of men operating in the gold
fields. All who went from Oakland
formed themselves into a syndicate
at Seattle.
