Unmista kable and reliable indi-
cations point to the early construct
ion of branch railroad from Carson
through the Carson valley and pos
sibly across the California line. The
proposition is one that has been
rumored many times, but no definite
action has previously been taken.
This time it is more than a rumor,
and the NetDs assures Carson and

A Practical Man on Teib.

The following is from the Virginia
Enterprise:
No Veterinarian on the Pacific
Coast has had longer experience,
nor has any man had more success
ful practice with horses, than has
DIR. Burns of this city. He makes
the following statement:
A valuable mare driven by Super
intendent Lyman, OF the Con. Vir-
ginia Mine on the Comstock Lode,
had been in the stable, unable to
work from the kick of another ami
NAL, received on the inside OF the
right fore leg above the knee. The
skin had been broken and the mus
cles and tendons severely bruised.
During weeks time / had given
the limb such treatment az, from
thirty years professional expe rience,
l thought beneficial; but without
avail. The leg was swollen to near
ly twice it's natural size, and the
swelling would not yield to treat
ment. On Thursday evening, June
10, 1890, l made the first application
of the liniment Trib, thoroughly
rubbing in half of a six ounce bottle
over the whole leg. / applied it reg
ularly twice II day for the next three
days. On the fourth day the mare
went to work, completely cured
the most surprising and satisfactory
cure coming under my observation
during lifetime devoted to the
treatment of horses.
That was several years ago.
have since then used this liniInent
regularly in my practice. Trib full
fills all its promises.
An especially valuable feature of
Trib tx that, while it has all the
penetrating strength of The most
powerful liniments, it does not bis
ter.
For love of the horse, and the fell
lowship of horsemen. l offer this
testimony, I know that Trib will
benefit both. M. BuRxs, V. 5.
