ONLY SIX GIRLS IN BIFURCATED SKIRTS APPEAR, AND THE FUNCTION IS NOT A BLOOMING SUCCESS. SAN FRANCISCO, July 31 When the orchestra struck up the first waltz there were but six ladies in bifurcated skirts who responded to the call for revelry. Other ladies were present, but if they wore bloomers they took pains to conceal them. It was late when the ball opened and then but one bloomer girl faced the music of the grand march. The other five waited to see how she looked before shucking their own skirts. This original pioneer was a willow maiden, clad in a blue shirt waist and voluminous bloomers of the same hue. She forgot her leggings, but more than made up for them by the wealth of black satin bows on her dancing slippers. As she plunged out of the dressing room with her young man the girl gave her head a toss, as much as to say: "Well, here I am. How do you like my style?" The ice thus being broken, two fluffy minutes after the two sergeants and six of their comrades were dead in the woods exactly where the dreamer said they would be. More than fifty men bear witness to the truth of this statement. A short time before the battle of Cedar Creek a camp sentinel was off duty temporarily, and trying to put in a little sleep, dreamed that he went out on a scout. His dream showed him that one mile to the right of the camp he came upon a barn, and as it began to rain just then, he sought shelter within, but halted when he discovered, be fore entering, that the place was already occupied. After silent investigation he ascertained that two Confederate scouts had taken up their quarters in the place, and he cautiously moved away as silently as he had come. The sentinel awoke with such a vivid remembrance of the details of the dream that he asked permission to go over and confer with one of our scouts. When the barn was reached he located it at once, having passed it a dozen times before. The dreamer decribed the highway exactly as it was, giving every hill and turn, and the scout put faith in the remainder of the dream. He took four soldiers, one of whom was the dreamer, and set out for the place. Three Confederate scouts were found sleep in the straw of the barn, and were taken without results, was known to hundreds of Sheridan's cavalry, and it has been frequently alluded to in reunions of the Grand Army of the Republic. On the night before the fight at Brandy Station, a trooper who slept on his horse, as cavalrymen were apt to do when exhausted, as he jogged along in the column, dreamed that a certain captain in his regiment would be unhorsed in a fight on the following day, and while rising from his fall would be wounded in the left knee. Everything in the dream was so clear to the dreamer that he seized the first opportunity to find the captain and relate the dream to him. But he was laughed at. The soldier had his revenge. In the very first charge on the following day this captain was unhorsed by the breaking of a girth, and pitched headlong into a patch of briers. As he struggled out a shell killed his horse and one of the flying pieces of iron amashed the captain's leg to a bloody pulp. He is now a resident of Ohio, and his wooden leg is evidence that dreams sometimes come true. It frequently happens in engagements during a war that the fun is not always on one side. Much depends upon the amount of regret that the Colfax fruit outspoken enemies owe though the prices paid we As a result of the discount resolutions carried almost. "Whereas, it has been occasion of the fruit-growers county, and vicinity, the Fruit Association, Scobell agents, and the California Fruit Company, have come out of the State convention, and auction salesroom in New York; the earnest protests of the growers, expressed in mass out the State, continue to tain such rival auction sales triment of the grower. "Resolved, that we, Colfax and vicinity, Place bled in mass-meetings, deserve supporting these rivals as the enemies of California and the California fruit industry." "Resolved, that we can growers throughout San Francisco to pledge taken at this in 1894, to give their heart support to the California Shippers' Association, who devouring to remedy the past in the marketing or commerce."

MYSTERIOUS WORKING OF THE BRAIN WHILE THE BODY SLUMBERS—BATTLE SCENES HAVE BEEN ACCURATELY PICTURED UPON THE MIND IN ADVANCE OF THEIR HAPPENING. It has been remarked that of all humanity the soldier and sailor are the greatest dreamers. This is accounted for upon the theory that danger brings the brain to a greater tension than does any other influence. Some of these dreams related as having come to soldiers are of intense interest, and the verified ones are well worth telling and studying over, for they foretold actual occurrences and often influenced the action of greater men than the dreamers—in fact, they were the cause in many instances of averting catastrophe. Some of these occurred during the war between the North and South of this nation. Every soldier engaged in that war has at least one of these remarkable dreams to relate as being either his own or that of a comrade. It was one week previous to the battle of Fair Oaks that a volunteer passed the night in a tent of a member of the Fifth Michigan Infantry, and when he arose in the morning he looked gloomy and downhearted. When rallied about his famed hemisickness, he said, in solemn tones: "I have only one week to live. I had a dream last night that has settled the business for me and lots of others. A week from to-day a battle will be fought, and thousands will be killed. My regiment will lose more than a hundred men, and I shall be killed while charging across the field." The men luked at his moody spirit and his belief in a simple dream, but it was such a furious temper that he turned upon them, and, with blanched face and never-to-be-forgetten manner, continued: "Your regiment will also be in the fight, and when the roll is called after the battle you will have nothing to be merry over, but, on the contrary, you will find subject for great sorrow and believe in my dream. The two sergeants who were in this tent last night will be killed among the trees. I saw them lying there, dead, as plainly as I now see you. One will be shot in the breast and the other in the groin, and dead men will be thick around them." The battle took place as predicted, just one week after that dream, and as the dreamer had declared, he was killed in full sight of every member of the Fifth before the fight was an hour old, within twenty bicycles to the uncle and scorned over the ballroom floor while waiting for the band to play. Now and then a new woman osrayed to show her skirted sister just how the thing is done, but usually ended by bumping into a post or running down the rattled spectators. What with posts, bicycles, poulace and bloomers, cyclery was somewhat crowded, but the undoubted success of the first social more than made up for lack of room. There is a profit, and a considerable one, in the coinage of subsidiary silver coin, but owing to the fact that the United States owns several million ounces of bullion which was purchased at the prevailing high price of 1890, the profit in that species of coinage is not as great as it would be if the Government should go into the open market to-day and buy silver at its market value for this purpose. There is a big demand at the Treasury department for bright, new coins of all denominations. Almost every request that is received from banks in various sections of the country for subsidiary coin ask that bright, new ones be sent. Every month the street car company and banks of the Capital city turn into the Treasury large quantities of nickels, dimes and quarters, for which they receive in return paper money of large denominations. Of course the money thus redeemed is not "new," and there is no demand for it. The result is that there are large quantities of such subsidiary coin in the vaults of the Treasury, and it is impossible to get it into circulation. One night when Mr. Isaac Reese was stopping with me, says M. F. Hatch, a prominent merchant of Quartermaster, Washington, I heard him groaning. On going to his room I found him suffering from cramp colic. He was in such agony I feared he would die. I hastily gave him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was soon relieved and the first words he uttered were, "What was that stuff you gave me?" I informed him. A few days ago we were talking about his attack and he said he was never without that remedy now. I have used it in my family for several years. I know its worth and do not hesitate to recommend it to my friends and customers. For sale by Derge. Wanted—Berry Pickers. Apply to Paul Poetzsch, west of Anaheim.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 4 — A mass-meeting of fruit-growers of Colfax and vicinity met in the Colfax school house Saturday afternoon to discuss the existing fruit war in New York and Chicago. In the course of the prolonged discussion which followed it developed that A. G. Bell, manager of the Colfax Fruit-growers' Union, to which many of the growers assembled belong, had made a contract with the California Green and Dried Fruit Company for the sale of the entire crop without being aware of the fact that that company was supporting the closed auction in Chicago, which has been organized for the purpose of breaking down the open auction, thus defeating the wishes of the California growers. Much indignation was expressed by the Colfax growers that their fruit was thus to be used as a club to break down the prices of fruit coming from growers in other viciniities. There was manifest a feeling of strong there are thousands of them in San Francisco; according there were 6,000 wheels. All comes next with 4,000, and into line with numbers varying up into the thousands. Los returns 818 bicycles. The one at the State where the people dance ride the bicycle is Alpine county. Twenty-eight counties in Quebec assessed higher than last year nine show a slight falling off; that the board mentions as growing prosperity of the south; The state is that but one section shows a falling off; San Bernardino; Los Angeles increased her property valuation; and Kern $3,000,000. Among that show a decided falling county. The Assessor claims to the collapse of a boom. The indications are that these material change in the assess railroads. At least the men board so state. Attorney Ryan ment for a reduction of the South Company, stated that the company $1,000,000 during the strike; that they were at present co road at a loss; but the mem board say that as property State seems to have increased would not be unfair to the raft them remain as they were last. There is considerable interest in the report, the compulsion has not yet been finished; but what is expected to be completed day or Wednesday of next week.

The clerk moved around behilior for a moment and then went fountain. "Do you like soda?" he asked "Oh, yes, indeed." "What flavoring do you prefer? Pineapple, please." The clerk drew a glass of the young lady drank it. Then she down on a stool and commenced with her.

As a result of the discussion the following resolutions carried almost unanimously: "Whereas, it has been called to the attention of the fruit-growers of Colfax, Placer county, and vicinity, that the National Fruit Association, Sgobel & Day, New York agents, and the California Green and Dried Fruit Company, have, contrary to the wishes of the State convention, established a rival auction salesroom in New York, and despite the earnest protests of the California fruit-growers, expressed in mass meetings throughout the State, continue to support and maintain such rival auction salesrooms to the detriment of the grower. "Resolved, that we, the fruit growers of Colfax and vicinity, Placer county, assembled in mass-meetings, denounce those who are supporting these rival auction salesrooms as the enemies of California fruit growers and the California fruit industry. "Resolved, that we call upon the fruit-growers throughout the State to remain true to the pledge taken at the State convention in 1894, to give their hearty and unqualified support to the California Fruit-growers' and Shippers' Association, who are earnestly endowing to remedy the great evils of the past in the marketing of California fruit." THE S. P.'S NEW DEPOT. AGENT DARLING SAYS A COMMODIOUS FREIGHT AND PASSENGER DEPOSIT WILL BE ERECTED IN TOWN. EDITOR GAZETTE—There seems to be a desire on the part of the Anaheim Independent to impress our citizens with the belief that the Southern Pacific Company is making an effort to get a franchise and run its trains through Anaheim for the mere fun of the thing, but I can assure you it is going there to get more business, and in order to disabuse the minds of those who might be inclined to doubt the S. P. Company's earnest and honest intention, I beg leave to state there need be no apprehension in regard to the erection of a commodious freight and passenger depot as near as possible to the business part of the city. Also as to the construction and maintenance of suitable crossings where needed, and all other things under the act appropriating $5,000,000 as a bounty on last year's crop of sugar cane, are coming in very slowly. Less than a dozen have been received thus far, and several of these have been sent back for correction as to the evidence of correct polarized test. Two aeronauts were fatally injured in a balloon accident which occurred at Vander-cook's Lake, a resort four miles south of Jackson, Mich., early Sunday morning. The balloon used was one of the largest of the hot-air variety, with double trapeze bars. About 6 o'clock it was successfully inflated. Miss Peake, a trapeze performer, took the upper bar and Charles Elliott the lower. At the moment the retaining ropes were cast off a gust of wind caught the canvas and carried it to one side, and it took fire. The monster shot into the air some distance with both of the horizified aeronauts on the trapeze. Then it collapsed and came crashing down. Miss Peake is a large woman and fell heavily, breaking both legs, besides suffering internal injuries. Elliott struck on his shoulders and is badly crushed. His injuries are said to be fatal. The spectators dragged them from the burning balloon and carried them to the nearest tent, where an hour later surgeons from the city attended them. An important conference between the Louisiana delegation, which is now in Washington, and the Secretary of the Treasury, took place with close doors one day last week, and on request of members of the delegation no representative of the press and no other outsiders were admitted. At this conference the Secretary was told that no power on earth could keep the State from going Republican next year if the bounty allowed them by the last Congress is not paid. Secretary Carlisle was informed further that unless the bounty was allowed before Congress meets, Representative Grosvenor of Ohio, a member of the Appropriations Committee, proposes to introduce a bill for the repeal of the bounty act and to work for its passage. The seriousness of the situation was impressed upon Mr. Carlisle and it was recalled that the bill in the last Congress was passed by a majority of but five votes, and that the failure of the Treasury Department to pay the bounty would mean disaster to many a man who had innocently loaned money, taking the bounty certifications as collateral. New York society was surprised EDITOR GAZETTE.—There seems to be a desire on the part of the Anaheim Independent to impress our citizens with the belief that the Southern Pacific Company is making an effort to get a franchise and run its trains through Anaheim for the more fun of the thing, but I can assure you it is going there to get more business, and in order to disabuse the minds of those who might be inclined to doubt the S.

Also as to the construction and maintenance of suitable crossings where needed, and all other things as near as possible in conformity with the interests of the public and themselves. Since the building of another railway into Anaheim this company has been placed as a considerable disadvantage on account of comparative distance from the business center of town, being against us. Notwithstanding this fact the S. P. Co has received a very liberal patronage, which I appreciate as its representative, and our company has a correspondingly friendly feeling toward Anaheim and its prosperity. This was expressed in a substantial manner when the Anaheim street railway company was about to suspend its traffic in 1891 by our coming to its relief with a subaidy of twenty-five dollars per month, which is still being allowed. Yours Respectfully, T. A. DARLING, Agent S. P. Co. Anaheim, Aug. 5, 1895. TOLD BY ASSESSMENTS GENERAL INCREASE IN PROPERTY VALUES—BICYCLES SHOW AN IMENSE GAIN, BUT THE HORSE HAS GONE BACKWARD. SACRAMENTO, August 1.—The work of the State Board of Equalization is almost completed for the present, and in a few days it will be prepared to file its final report. This report will be one of the most interesting ever published, and will show a marked increase in the valuation of property throughout the State. While some counties are assessed lower this year than last, others are assessed higher, and the sum total will be considerably in excess of what it was last year. The report will also show that considerable property has escaped taxation, the most important of which are the race horses quartered on the track at San Francisco. This was managed by those who are in charge of the animals telling the Assessor that the animals were assessed in the places from which they had been brought, while the owners told their local assessors that the horses were assessed in San Francisco. It is promised that in future there will not be a repetition of this. Considerable decrease is shown in the value of the horses in the State and an enormous increase is shown in the number of bicycles in use in the State. The latter are assessed at $35 each, and there are thousands of them not included. In San Francisco, according to the returns, there were 6,000 wheels. Alameda county comes next with 4,000, and the others fall into line with numbers varying from a dozen up into the thousands. Los Angeles county returns 818 bicycles. The only county in the State where the people do not seem to ride the bicycle is Alpine county. Twenty-eight counties in the State are assessed higher than last year and twenty-nine show a slight falling off. One matter that the board mentions as showing the growing prosperity of the southern part of the State is that but one county in that section shows a falling off, and that was San Bernardino. Los Angeles county has increased her property valuation $5,000,000 and Kern $3,000,000. Among the counties that show a decided falling off in Yale. Mrs. John Quill and her husband of Eaton, Ohio, quarreled over the question whether or not their daughter should wear bloomers. They are wealthy and have a large family of grown up children. The old man is 75 and feeble, but he advocates bloomers. He quarreled with his wife violently and finally she attempted to pull his whiskers out. Not succeeding she cut them off. The fight was so bitter that both are under a physician's care, and it is fearful that Mrs. Quill will become insane. Meantime the daughter wears the bloomers. Senator Stephen M. White has sent a telegram to the President, calling the Executive's attention to the complications which will result if Controller Bowler insists upon his present policy of refusing to pay the sums appropriated on account of sugar bounties which had been earned up to the time of passage of the Wilson bill. Controller Bowler declared recently that he would hear arguments as to the constitutionality of the boaty act. Senator White calls the President's attention to the fact that the parties interested in the appropriation have already acted upon the supposition that the Government would pay the bounty, which involves $238,000 in California alone. Monday night an attempt was made to wreck the Chicago express on the Michigan Central, near Kalamazoo. A young man named Warwick was walking along the track, when he discovered a stick of bridge-timber lying across the rails, only a few moments before the time of the train. A young man named Herman Tyler had been talking of the affair a good deal, and he was arrested and pleaded guilty to placing the timber across the track. He said he placed it there because he thought suspicion would be directed toward a man named Freeman, and he wanted to get even with him for some fancied wrong. The locality is on a high grade, and had the obstruction not been discovered, a frightful loss of life might have resulted. The value of smudging trees in case of frost has been demonstrated by W. Terry of Campbell, N.J., Rose. During the cold snap last spring he used snuggle freely in his apricot orchard, and he has been amply repaid for his labor. From about eleven acres, he gathered over seventy tons of apricots, and thinks, if he had got his smoking system arranged a day or two earlier, he would have got fully a hundred tons. Seventy tons is far above the average yield this year. It is over six tons to the acre, and that is about twice as much as the non-smokers have realized. His example will be generally followed next year. It is proposed to form a company of local fruit-growers and to arrange a general system for smoking orchards. If this done the expense will be greatly reduced and the work much more effective. Turney made about $900 by his experiment this year. Workmen preparing for the foundation of the State monument to John Hancock in the old Granary burying ground in Boston, opened the tombs, disclosing for the first time for more than a century the coffin of the famous signer of Declaration of Independence. It was a zink coffin with this inscription: "John Hancock, 'Born January 23, 1737.' 'Died October 8, 1783' 'John George Washington Hancock, died January 27, 1786, aged 9 years.'" The letters are perfectly plain and the copper plate untarnished. The second name on the plate shows undoubtedly that the body of a son of John Hancock was also placed in the coffin. Charges of a serious nature are made by the heirs of the late Ellen Gallagher of San Francisco against Father Nugent of St. Rose's parish. As the executor of the estate he has failed to account for nearly $20,000, which it is claimed was entrusted to him, and that he has shown a disposition to deprive the alleged rightful heirs of what should be theirs. These accusations are embodied in a petition filed in the Superior Court. The heirs demand that Father Nugent be cited to appear in court and indicate power on earth could keep the State from giving Republican next year if the bounty allowed them by the last Congress is not paid. Secretary Carlisle was informed further that unless the bounty was allowed before Congress meets, Representative Grosvenor of Ohio, a member of the Appropriations Committee, proposes to introduce a bill for the repeal of the bounty act and to work for its passage. The seriousness of the situation was impressed upon Mr. Carlisle and it was recalled that the bill in the last Congress was passed by a majority of but five votes, and that the failure of the Treasury Department to pay the bounty would mean disaster to many a man who had innocently loaned money, taking the bounty certificates as collateral. New York society was surprised other day by the announcement of the marriage of Lois V. Kissam to Louis Sayre Kerr. The bride is a daughter of S.H.

Asaresultof JudgeRoss'sdecisionreceived there are thousands of them not included. In San Francisco, according to the returns, there were 6,000 wheels. Alameda county comes next with 4,000, and the others fall into line with numbers varying from a dozen up into the thousands. Los Angeles county returns 818 bicycles. The only county in the State where the people do not seem to ride the bicycle is Alpine county. Twenty-eight counties in the State are assessed higher than last year and twenty-nine show a slight falling off. One matter that the board mentions as showing the growing prosperity of the southern part of the State is that but one county in that section shows a falling off, and that was San Bernardino. Los Angeles county has increased her property valuation $5,000,000 and Kern $3,000,000. Among the counties that show a decided falling off is Yolo county. The Assessor claims that it is due to the collapse of a boom. The indications are that there will be no material change in the assessment of the railroads. At least the members of the board so state. Attorney Ryan, in his argument for a reduction of the Southern Pacific Company, stated that the company lost over $1,000,000 during the strike of 1894, and that they were at present conducting the road at a loss, but the members of the board say that as property all over the State seems to have increased in value it would not be unfair to the railroads to let them remain as they were last year. There is considerable interesting information in the report, the compilation of which has not yet been finished, but the whole thing is expected to be completed by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. QUEER THINGS HAPPEN IN DRUG STORES. A young lady entered one of these places and the clerk inquired: "What can I do for you, Miss?" She glanced about her in embarrassment and then replied: "I want some castor oil." The clerk moved around behind the counter for a moment and then went to the soda fountain. "Do you like soda?" he asked. "Oh, yes, indeed." "What flavoring do you prefer?" "Pineapple, please." The clerk drew a glass of the fizz and the young lady drank it. Then the clerk sat down on a stool and commenced to chat with her. She was apparently annoyed, but replied courteously to all his remarks. Finally she said: "If you'll give me the castor oil I'll go." "Why, you took it in that glass of soda." "Took it in the soda! I didn't want to take it. It was for my little brother."

The letters are perfectly plain and the copper plate untarnished. The second name on the plate shows undoubtedly that the body of a son of John Hancock was also placed in the coffin. Charges of a serious nature are made by the heirs of the late Ellen Gallagher of San Francisco against Father Nugent of St. Rose's parish. As the executor of the estate he has failed to account for nearly $20,000, which it is claimed was entrusted to him, and that he has shown a disposition to deprive the alleged rightful heirs of what should be theirs. These accusations are embodied in a petition filed in the Superior Court. The heirs demand that Father Nugent be cited to appear in court and indicate the whereabouts of the alleged missing thousands and that he be required to refund the same to the estate. The money not accounted for is either being held by the executor or has been disposed of in some manner unknown to the heirs. They go farther and intimate that had it not been for the powerful influence of Father Nugent exerted over Mrs. Gallagher she would in their opinion have provided for them in her will more generously than she did. They claim that although Mrs. Gallagher received $146,000 from her husband's estate, she left an estate of but a little over $20,000. Jayville, a village on the fringe of the Adirondack forest in York State, has been the scene of punishment to a frail woman in a manner which has outraged decency and which has set the wheels of the law in motion to punish the offenders. Some time ago a man named John P. Kirch and Mrs. Bert Covey of Jayville eloped from that place. Neither were heard of until Saturday, when Mrs. Covey suddenly returned. On Sunday two men called on her, telling her that if she did not leave the place she would be tarred and feathered. She went to Pitcairn on Monday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of the men who had threatened her. In the evening she returned home. When the train stopped at Jayville and the woman stepped off she was suddenly surrounded by a crowd of men, who seized her and took her into the railroad freighthouse, where they stripped her. There was a crowd of women present in men's clothing and blackened faces. The men held the woman down on the floor while the women applied the tar and feathers with a paint brush, completely covering her with the stuff, after which they let her go. She was taken to her mother's house, where a physician was called and found that one arm and a number of ribs were broken. It is claimed that almost all of the party concerned in the case are known and warrants will be immediately sworn out for their arrest. The work incident to the payment of claims under the act appropriating $238,298 in liquidation of unpaid bounty claims for sugar produced prior to August 28, 1894, has been rapidly pushed forward in the Internal Revenue Bureau, and already a large number of the claims have been sent to the auditor for approval. They will not be acted on until after Controller Bowler has passed upon the question of the constitutionality of the act making the appropriation. Among other things it was alleged that Murray allowed all taxes to become delinquent, failed to sue on notes and allowed them to outlaw, did not keep correct and intelligent books, and paid money to attorneys without authority. The Judge's decision scores Murray severely in many points. His salary account is cut in two, and he is ordered to repay to the directors $1,726 on that account. The court says its instructions to the receiver regarding the form of accounts were plain enough for any person of ordinary intelligence, and the claim of $140 for accountant is disallowed. Another claim of $585 for attorneys' fees is disallowed, and after a general review of the case Judge Pierce requires Murray to pay the directors the sum of $1,898. As a result of Judge Ross's decision in regard to the Wright law, what promises to be a big suit will be soon begun in San Bernardine, involving the right of John W. Downs of that city, and a holder of bonds in the Grapeland Irrigation District, to the appropriation of all the water flowing out of Grapeland tunnel, which is at present about 250 inches. He has seized the stream to protect about $3,000 worth of bonds of the district, of which he is now the owner. His notice has been legally posted and filed. As the law requires that preparations for making use of the water thus appropriated must be made within sixty days. Downs has laid plans whereby he will use the water by running it into the Semi-tropic tract. The grounds on which Downs bases his claim to hold the water are that Judge Ross in his decisions holds that as the irrigation district never had legal existence all the appropriation made by it are void. Downs is acting on the theory that the water from Grapeland tunnel has never been legally taken out by any person or company, and that by taking the action he has he made the original filing, and in case the decision is upheld he will have prior claim to the water. Down says: "I intend to get the Sheriff to put me in possession of the water, and I will stay with it. I suppose an injunction will be served on me, but I am going to stay with them. I will have water on land within sixty days. In case Judge Ross' decision is sustained I have water; if it is reversed I will have the bonds." Attorneys are divided on the question, and some claim that the people on whose land the water has its source will have something to say. Mr. C. G. Strong, principal of the public schools at Anderson Cal., says: "I have used Chamberlain's Pain Balm and have found it an excellent remedy for lameness and slight wounds." Lameness usually results from a sprain, or other injury, or from rheumatism, for which Chamberlain's Pain Balm is especially intended and unequalled. It affords almost immediate relief and in a short time effects a permanent cure. For sale by Derge. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
