LIGHT IN SCHOOL IS POOR SAYS GRAND JURY Interfered with by a Growth of Pepper and Cypress Trees, which Impairs Eyes of Pupils. The Grand Jury submitted its report on Saturday, as follows: To the Honorable J. W. Ballard, Judge of the Superior Court of Orange county, State of California. We, the Grand Jury, duly empaneled and charged by the Court on December 2, 1901, have found the first nine sections of the County Government Act of 1897 complied with and do now respectfully submit this, our final report. We examined the books, warrants, and vouchers of the county auditor carefully and found everything satisfactory. The county treasurer's books were thoroughly investigated and found correct. TREASURER'S ACCOUNT. Nov. 1, 1900, Balance on hand ... $132,544 04 Nov. 1, 1901, Total receipts to date... 310,654 68 $443,198 75 Nov. 1, 1901, By total disbursements to date ... $391,231 86 Nov. 1, 1901, By balance cash on hand ... 51,966 87 $443,198 72 The property books compiled by the assessor and assessment rolls written up under his supervision show evidence of marked efficiency. The affairs and books of the tax collector were found ably managed and correct. We examined the books and records in the recorder's office, and found them in excellent order and neatly kept. Also examined the books of the sheriff, district attorney, clerk and supervisors and found them correct. The supervisors; we think, should receive special commendation for their manner in spending the public money for the new court house. Books and vouchers of the superintendent of public schools we found correct in every detail, the present incumbent being entitled to special commendation for methods employed. The work of the county surveyor we found in a satisfactory condition; also the books of the coroner and public administrator have been kept correctly and the estates of deceased persons have been properly administered. from all bridges to protect them from fire; several already being damaged by fire from such cause. Road from Westminster running west needs repair at once. We recommend the grading of First street from the Holiness church west; also the enforcement of the law regarding the closing of artesian wells. In conclusion, we wish to tender our thanks to the officers and their deputies of the different departments for the courtesies shown us during our work. GEO. H. BROWN, foreman. C. LEHMAN, Secretary. Santa Ana, Dec. 14, 1901. BUSINESS CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for November in Southern California. General business conditions throughout the country are satisfactory. Consumption is unusually large and traffic congestion grows worse. Holiday trade promises to be unprecedented. Corn is higher than at any time since 1901, and wheat has advanced to best prices of the season. Activity and strength are conspicuous in the wool market. Iron and steel are strong at the highest prices of the year. In our immediate district there is little new to report. Citrus fruits are moving freely for this season of the year. Oranges especially are in active demand for the holiday trade, about three carloads going forward daily. They are, as a rule, well colored, but as usual some fruit that is unfit is being shipped. The crop is in good condition, and prospects of a successful season are in evidence. The crop will total up about 20 per cent less than that of last year. The walnut crop has been marketed with good results for most growers, and most of the honey is out of the State. The eastern market for lemons is firm at $2.50 a box per car. There is lively work in the celery fields just now. Celery is in its prime, and 10 to 12 cars daily are being shipped. It is estimated that the peatlands will yield 1600 carloads, as against 1200 last year. Practically all the raisin crop is in the packing-houses. The demand has been most active for the seeded raisins, and the association has withdrawn. FRUIT GROWERS OPPOSED TO RECIPROCHEMICAL RESOLUTION PROTESTING AGAINST ADOPTION OF TREATIES NOW PENDING IN CONGRESS — Wilson Bill Recalled. The Chamber of Commerce has adopted resolutions signed by F. Story, E. F. C. Klokke, J. Ross Clark Homer Laughlin and George Frey. The preamble recites that at the present session of Congress reciprocity treaties will again be called up for consideration and action of the Senate and that a determined effort will made by the beneficiaries of the treaties, backed by greedy capital and catchy term “reciprocity,” to hold them ratified. It is declared that such ratification the citrus fruit, sugar, the walnut, the raisin and prince kindred industries, constituting basis of our prosperity would be soiously imperiled without any beneficial result from such ratification. The resolutions adopted are follows: “Resolved, That this chamber, representing as it does, every industry business of Southern California, envisions its most solemn protest against the filction of so great a wrong as must fall our State in the annihilation of chief industries by any change in present tariff laws, either by direct or through the agency of the called reciprocity treaties. “Resolved, That we appeal to each citizen to lend his aid in the struggle, to the end that the ratification of the present treaties may be feated, and that the principle shall established that reciprocity does mean the destruction of the weakest benefit of the strongest.” The supervisors, we think, should receive special commendation for their manner in spending the public money for the new court house. Books and vouchers of the superintendent of public schools we found correct in every detail, the present incumbent being entitled to special commendation for methods employed. The work of the county surveyor we found in a satisfactory condition; also the books of the coroner and public administrator have been kept correctly, and the estates of deceased persons have been properly administered. The county physician has kept no records of any kind. We visited all the justices of the peace in the county, and found their dockets and records correct. The justice of the peace at Santa Ana during last year handled 171 cases. Fees, $513.00, and fines $866.85, turned into the treasury of the county. We visited all the schools of the county, both in and outside of incorporated cities, including high schools. We find them in perfect condition with the following exceptions: We recommend, that the out-houses of the boys' department of First street school and Central school in Santa Ana be investigated. We also recommend suitable places for bicycles and lunch baskets wherever needed. The schools at El Toro and Olive are insufficiently supplied with water. We found that the light in the room on the first floor in the northerly part of the Central school building at Anaheim is seriously interfered with by a growth of pepper and cypress trees, in the play grounds, so much so that the eyesight of a number of pupils has been impaired by the dimness of the light in said room. We call the attention of the school board of that district to this matter. In visiting the Santa Ana city waterworks and jail we found both in excellent condition. We deem the appliances of the Santa Ana city fire department inadequate to cope with a fire in a three or four story building. We found the books and accounts of the clerk of the city of Santa Ana, the treasurer, marshal and board of education in excellent condition. We examined the books of the different officers of the city of Orange and found them correct. TREASURER'S ACCOUNT—ORANGE. Balance on hand Nov. 1, 1900. $1070.15 Cash receipts from Nov. 1, 1900, to Nov. 1, 1901. $305.02 Total: $4475.17 Disbursements: $3187.25 Balance on hand N v. 1, 1901. $1297.92 We have examined the books and accounts of the city clerk, treasurer, recorder and city marshal of Anaheim and found them correct. The water system of Anaheim city is in good condition, and the fire protection is ample. The electric light plant of Anaheim is giving good service and cheap light. The city jail we found in good condition. The walnut crop has been marketed with good results for most growers, and most of the honey is out of the State.

The demand has been most active for the seeded raisins, and the association has withdrawn prices on them. It is thought when again named it will be considerably higher. Raisins this year are reported not quite up to standard. Beans are firm and in good demand. Lower prices are not looked for, at least at present. Barley is firm. The crop in Southern California is not large and holders demand full prices. The tone of the cured fruit market is good. Satisfactory demand has ruled the entire season, although not heavy at any time. There is practically nothing doing in canned goods; export movement is light. Locally interest centers, of course, at this season of the year, in retail distribution, and promises to be very large for the month of December.

The bridges on the Trabuco are too narrow and light for the heavy travel going over them. There should be a new bridge built over a sandwash on the Trabisco and Santa Ana road. The dumping of brush and rubbish into Santiago creek is still practiced and should not be allowed. The dumping of orange and lemon culls over the Glassell street bridge creates a nuisance which should be abated. All country roads have been examined and found to be in fairly good condition, with the following exceptions: Overhanging branches on the road from Capistrano up Trabuco canyon seriously obstruct travel and should be removed, and the grade from the canyon to the mesa needs repairing. We would suggest that the crossing at the mouth of Aliso creek, at least, have posts set as a guide to avoid danger in crossing. Road running west one-half mile from Buena Park condensed milk factory, thence north to Southern Pacific railroad; also a place just east of Kraemer ranch on Yorba road needs special attention. From Santa Ana city limits to water plant on Fifth street special and early attention should be given. Stone should be used on east end of Fifth street bridge to protect abutment. Brush and tules should be cleared date printed upon the paper's address, and you can tell at a glance if your subscription has become delinquent.

We know you would not do without the GAZETTE; so, attend to this matter now—do not defer it, for it will be forgotten if you do. The amounts are small, but, in the aggregate, amount to hundreds of dollars. We have in contemplation many improvements in the paper during the coming winter. Notable additions to the press and composing rooms are underlined for early delivery, and these all cost a plenty of the circulating medium of the realm. Look at your address slips, and see how your subscription stands. Then, if you are delinquent, remit the amount to the editor. Says He Was Tortured. "I suffered such pain from corns I could hardly walk," writes H. Robinson, Hillsborough, Ill., "but Bucklen's Arnica Salve completely cured them."

George Anderson, the hobo who broke into the residence of J. Finley at Miraflores two weeks ago, was arrested in the superior court on Friday afternoon on a charge of burglary. Clyde Bishop was appointed by the court to act as his attorney. After a short consultation, the prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge and received a sentence of one year in San Quentin. Food Changed to Poison. Putrefying food in the intestines produces effects like those of arsenic, but Dr. King's New Life Pills expel the poisons from clogged bowels, gently, easily but surely, curing constipation, biliousness, sick headache, fevers, all liver, kidney and bowel troubles.

Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles and the Southern California Exchange are awake to the danger of California resulting from the ratification by Congress of treaties with Cuba. These have asserted their respective rights and have come forth with resolutions, demanding that city measures be defeated. Chamber of Commerce has final resolutions signed by F. Q. E. F. C. Klokke, J. Ross Clark, Laughlin and George Frost. Resemble recites that at the pression of Congress reciprocity will again be called up for the operation and action of the Senate, that a determined effort will be made by the beneficiaries of the treaty backed by greedy capital and the term "reciprocity," to have ratified.

POPULAR SCIENCE. Mercury's year is only 88 days, that of Venus 225 days and of Mars 687 days. Cumulus, or thunder clouds, rarely rise over two miles. Seven miles is the outside height for any cloud. The edge of the moon is so broken by peaks, ridges and valleys that the length of totality during a solar eclipse is affected by them. The sun's heat raises from the earth 37,000,000 tons of water a minute. To do the same work artificially a cube of coal 200 miles deep, wide and high would have to be burned every second. The archaic, wasteful "beehive" oven process of making charcoal has been superseded in many parts of Germany by modern methods which save all the ammonia, gas, tar and other products of the wood. A human body contains some of the small things of nature. The blood, for example, is a colorless liquid in which little red globules are floating. Every drop of it contains about a million of the globules, and they are susceptible of division into smaller globules still. Making the Blind See. Success in desperate cases by conservative treatment is the lesson often repeated and yet never quite sufficiently learned by any physician or surgeon. The infinite ingenuity behind the healing processes, the never renounced struggle toward normality, is an ever renewed source of wonder. All that is needed to elicit it is confidence in it; delay in doing anything radical, watchfulness to follow up the hints to action as they begin to show themselves. We know of a living and happy patient who ten years ago had albuminic retinitis from long existing Bright's disease despite what all the textbooks say as to "two years" in such cases. "Don't do the irrevocable thing until forced to do it" is the warning that has saved many organs and lives. Above all, never proceed with surgery ("the despair of medicine") until physiologic and medical methods have been exhausted. The Wiener Klinischer Wochenschrift tells of the success of Herr Heller, director of an asylum for the blind, in educating the remnant of visual power retained by a "blind" child. There was only perception of light in a narrowed field left, but this by education was made to yield such indications to the eager mind that after 14 months of enlightenment the bar has very useful vision. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the Industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foot-hills, and 104¼ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Annaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. There are nine fraternal organizations including Mason and Odd Fel- THE OLD FASHIONED BOY Oh, for a glimpse of a natural boy—A boy with freckled face, With forehead white 'neath tangled And limba devoid of grace; Whose feet toe in, while his elbows Whose knees are patched all ways; Who turns as red as a lobster when You give him a word of praise; A boy who's born with an appetite Who seeks the pantry shelf To eat his "piece" with resounding Who isn't gone on himself; A "Robinson Crusoe" reading boy, Whose pockets bulge with trash, Who knows the use of rod and gun And where the brook trout splash. It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair With his hat on his touled head; That his hands and feet are everywhere For youth must have room to spread But he doesn't dub his father "old m Nor deny his mother's call Nor ridicule what his elders say Or think that he knows it all. A rough and wholesome natural boy Of a good old fashioned clay God bless him. If he's still on earth For he'll make a man some day!

The day before the opening session a shy girl knocked at the door of attorney general's office. Is the attorney general in asked timidly. "Yes," said the clerk. "He w you when he gets through with long line of job hunters. Just seat." In the numerous chairs, on the lounge and standing were 20 waiting for a turn to press some for a position.

Saw Death Near. "It often made my heartache," writes L.C. Overstreet of Elgin, Tenn., "to hear my wife cough until it seemed her weak and sore lungs would collapse. Good doctors said she was so far gone with consumption that no medicine or earthly help could save her, but a friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery and persistent use of medicine saved her life." It's absolutely guaranteed for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma and all throat and lung diseases. 50c and $1.00 at all drugists. Trial bottles free. This Was Not an Ordinary Occasion. Orange Post. The ANAHEIM GAZETTE got its metaphors mixed in describing the initiation of Supervisor Potter into the Masonie order, as note the following: "Potter bestrode the bucking broncho, seized hold of its horns and raced around the lodgeroom to beat the band, while the Santa Ana brethren turned on the blue lights." A horned bucking broncho is a different breed of goats from the ordinary. "I did not sleep a night for seven long weeks." That prolonged period of sleeplessness is most expressive of the pain and suffering caused by womanly diseases. It is pleasant to contrast the medical efficiency which said "I could not be cured" with the prompt and permanent cure effected by the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This great medicine for women establishes a regularity, drips enebling drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. "I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce's medicines to other sufferers rather than Mrs. Mary Adams, Ashe Co., N.C. I had internal trouble very badly until it resulted in ulcers of the uterus. I was trodden with it so that I did not sleep a night for seven long weeks. The doctors said I could not be cured, but I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription after taking two bottles and pleasant Pleasures." The attorney general was ragged looking man, and he each with the remark: "I can't tell thing for you.

The railways were as locusts covered the railroad oil which exuded from their when crushed prevented their wheels from "biting." After settled whole regiments were out for the purpose of trampling death. Trenches were dug path and filled with burning coal the crowding swarms actually caused fire, so vast were their lives. Even in a little island like Cayman one year one-fifth of the entire population was spent in destroying trees and especially their eggs. Whole eggs are laid, they are incubated with their cloaking envelope called a "poop pod containing 35 eggs." In months 1,330 tons of pools were stroyed. Now, a single ton contains 80,000,000 eggs, and spite of this almost incredible tension, the locals are still able to plague and show little if any sign of diminution in numbers.

Oh, the rough grasp it laid on men at work, women at home, and children in eribs and cradles. Coughs that began before Thanksgiving Day are racking and tearing them still; yes, and growing worse as they dig deeper into the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many were cured by using Benson's Porous Plasters. For the soothing and healing power of these Plasters is wonderful. They conquer the complaints. THAT ARE KILLING THE PEOPLE.

A Few Words about Pain-Killer A prominent Montreal clergyman, the Rev. James H. Dixon, Rector St. Judes and Hon. Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, writes: "Permit me to send you a few lines to strongly recommend 'Perry Davis' Pain-Killer. I have used it with satisfaction for thirty-five years. It is a preparation which deserves full public confidence." Two Sizes, 25c. and 80c. There is only one Pain-Killer. Perry Davis.' THE OLD FASHIONED BOY. Oh, for a glimpse of a natural boy— A boy with freckled face, With forehead white 'neath tangled hair And limbs devoid of grace; Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare; Whose knees are patched all ways; Who turns as red as a lobster when You give him a word of praise; A boy who's born with an appetite, Who seeks the pantry shelf To eat his "piece" with resounding smack, Who isn't gone on himself; A "Robinson Crusoe" reading boy, Whose pockets bulge with trash. Who knows the use of rod and gun And where the brook trout splash. It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair With his hat on his touled bead; That his hands and feet are everywhere, For youth must have room to spread, But he doesn't dub his father "old man" Nor deny his mother's call Nor ridicule what his elders say Or think that he knows it all. A rough and wholesome natural boy Of a good old fashioned clay— God bless him, if he's still on earth. For he'll make a man some day! —Detroit Free Press. GOT THE POSITION. Successfully Played on the Weakness of the Statesman. The New York Herald tells how aomatic young lady who understood the weakness of politicians secured the years ago a place in the state device. The day before the opening of the session a shy girl knocked at the door the attorney general's office. Is the attorney general in?" she asked timidly. Yes," said the clerk. "He will see when he gets through with this big line of job hunters. Just have a bit." In the numerous chairs, on the office luge and standing were 20 more sitting for a turn to press some claim in position. The attorney general was rather a stiff-looking man, and he dismissed each with the remark: "I can't do anything for you. Sorry, you know, but there are hundreds of applicants, and each officer, every legislator, has a keen begging for each position." When the timid girl's turn came, she added the impatient looking officer after. She said nothing. She hardly looked into his face. I'm sorry. Mia C., that I can do nothing for you. It was foolish for you to come here expecting to get work. I'd helped to help you if I could; but, you never does a man feel so helpless as when he looks upon the suffering of the wife he loves and knows that he is powerless to prevent it. And when, as is often the case, he has exhausted every means at his disposal in the vain effort to restore his wife to health, his despair almost equals her suffering. There are husbands who have passed through this experience and have found a way to be helpful to their wives when physicians had absolutely failed to cure, and been even powerless to help the sufferer. One such husband thus relates his experience: "I take pleasure in writing you to let you know about your 'Favorite Prescription,'" says Mr. E. E. Fricke, of Petersburg, Menard Co., Ill., Box 367. "My wife had been sick nearly all her life, and after trying everything I could think of I made up my mind to try 'Favorite Prescription.' I sent to Chicago and got six bottles, which my wife took, a table-spoonful three times a day, until the baby came. She felt better after taking the first bottle, and when baby was born he weighed nine and a half pounds. To-day he is six months old and weighs twenty-two pounds. He is as good a child as any one could wish. The doctor says he is as healthy as any baby could be, and also the doctor says your 'Favorite Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery.' she was cared and got out of bed and was able to attend to her housework once more." Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. When taken as a preparative for maternity it promotes health of body and cheerfulness of mind. It encourages the appetite, induces refreshing sleep, and when the hour of trial comes it makes the baby's advent practically painless. It is the best tonic for nursing mothers, promoting the flow of the nutritive secretions and giving the mother strength to give her child. "My wife was sick for over eight years," writes Albert H. Fulte, Esq., of Altamont, Grundy Co., Tenn. "She had uterine disease and was treated by two physicians and got no relief. At last I read in one of your Memorandum Books which you sent me about Dr. Pierce's medicines, and we decided to try his 'Favorite Prescription.' I sent to the drug store and got one bottle and the first dose gave ease and sleep. She had not slept any for three nights. Being sure that it would cure her I sent for five more bottles, and when she had taken the six bottles she was sound and well." AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN. Women who are suffering from diseases of long standing are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All letters are privately read and privately answered, and the written confidences of women are treated with the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in personal consultations with women at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. This offer of free consultation by letter is not to be classed with the spurious offers of "free medical advice" made by those who having neither professional training nor experience are medically and legally unqualified to give the advice they offer. Although it takes more than a diploma to make a good physician yet the medical diploma is essential as witnessing to professional study and training. It is well for women to examine into offers of "free medical advice," and to ascertain whether the offer is made by those competent pro- DEVASTATING POWER OF LOCUSTS. A swarm of these insects stopped the advance of a Russian army. They led the air and blinded both officers and men, so that the former could give orders, and even if they had done so, the men could not have obeyed them. The horses would not face them, and they lay on the ground many inches thick. Every man and horse in the army was incrusted with the insects, and their clothing was literally eaten by the men as they stood helpless and blinded. The railways were useless, the locusts covered the rails, and the rail which exuded from their bodies then crushed prevented the driving wheels from "biting." After they had battled whole regiments were detached for the purpose of trampling them to death. Trenches were dug across their path and filled with burning coals, but crowding swarms actually smothered the fire, so vast were their numbers. Even in a little island like Cyprus in one year one-fifth of the entire revenue was spent in destroying the locusts and especially their eggs. When these eggs are laid, they are inclosed in a corny envelope called a "pod," each pod containing 35 eggs. In seven months 1,330 tons of pods were destroyed. Now, a single ton of pods contains 60,000,000 eggs, and yet, in spite of this almost incredible destruction, the locusts are still a dangerous plague and show little if any symptoms of diminution in numbers. EXPENSES OF A NETTLE OWNER. There is no question that modern luxury has reached its most extravagant miracle in yachting, which in the elaborate profession of its expense brings very close to the latter days of the woman empire.

HIS "BETTER HALF." The reference to the wife as the "better half" is made sometimes half humorously. But in his heart every man feels that the old phrase expresses a fact. When the wife is sick the whole fabric of home totters to its fall. When the wife is confined to her bed the husband leads a half life, a life from which the sunshine and laughter have been taken away. It is not to be wondered at therefore, that husbands express their gratitude for the cures which follow the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. What a change from a sickly bed-ridden wife, helpless and miserable, to a wife who is once more able to "guide the house" in health and happiness. My wife was afflicted with uterine trouble for several years," writes Mr. J. C. Day, of Little Britain, Lancaster Co., Pa., "and in November, 1898, the doctor said she had a mishap. He treated her for about two months or so, but there was but little improvement. I wrote you after she had commenced to take 'Favorite Prescription' and you told us to get Golden Medical Discovery also. She took six or seven bottles ARE YOU DEAF? ALL CASES OF DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING ARE NOW CURABLE by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Gentlemen—Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for cataract, for three months without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent care specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that temporarily, that the head noises would then cease but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
