WHAT THOSE SANTA ANA PAPERS SAY Bits of Opinion Published Concerning "Bosses" from Journals Which Ought to Know All About Them. Herald, Feb. 19th. It is said that the Southern Pacific is "again" in politics and that its "sack" is to be opened in the interest of Governor Gage, who has announced his candidacy for renomination. A large portion of this money, it is claimed, will be used in subsidizing newspapers. Whether these reports are true remains to be seen, and the public will be pretty competent to judge for itself. Such a course would not help Governor Gage, and would not please the great mass of his friends, no matter how the "bosses" may consider it. Blade, Feb. 19th. According to the foregoing, any newspaper presuming to say a word in defense of Governor Henry T. Gage, or in favor of his administration as chief executive of the State of California must necessarily have been "bought" by "the Southern Pacific sack." And not the least remarkable thing about this sweeping statement is that it is made by a newspaper which is controlled, body and soul, by the most thorough example of a political boss that has ever lived in Orange county. It is made by a newspaper which, as this whole community knows, could not run one week if dependent upon its legitimate newspaper business and the receipts therefrom, and was deprived of the monthly bonus subscribed and paid by Jim McFadden and a select coterie of others who are trying the oft-tried and always-unsuccessful experiment of supporting "an organ" of their own. And this is the man—this man Shaw—who, with every reason on earth to oppose James McFadden, is his tame follower and pliant tool; this is the man who now calmly announces that any newspaper presuming to say a word in favor of Henry T. Gage was undoubtedly bribed to do it. Too bad, too, is it not, that Henry T. Gage's "friends" won't be pleased should any newspaper defend him or his administration as Governor? Editor Shaw is, we presume, one of those "friends." Jim McFadden is, of course, another. Well, we suppose that Governor Gage has a few more of such "friends" in Orange county. He has also a host of a different breed of friends—friends who are not knifing him in the dark or planning to betray him. Bulletin, Feb. 21. Linn Shaw of the Evening Herald Common Sense In Law. When we are told that every law must be enforced to the letter though the heavens fall, it has a brave sound, but a wise regard for the public good demands that the laws be so executed that the heavens may not fall. The maxim that "the extreme of the law may be the extreme of injustice"—"summum jus, summa injuria"—is of venerable age and has had the approval of the best jurisprudence as well as the best statesmanship of many centuries. It is not mere "sophistry"—as somewhat hastily, I suppose, it has been called—but it may well be quoted in support of the application of simple common sense to complicated and perplexing exigencies. I think there is not a government in the world, not even the most conscientious, that does not refrain from rigidly enforcing to the letter some laws standing on its statute books, either because they are antiquated or because such enforcement is practically impossible or, if beneficial, would result in evils greater than those which those laws are to prevent or repress—Carl Schurz. Preparing Dates. The preparation of dried dates is carried on largely at Awbli, and as the season had now commenced I took the opportunity to observe the process and was taken round the factories by the shellk. The dates selected are picked before they are quite ripe. The factory had a chimney about fifteen feet high and contained several open, circular, copper boilers, capable of holding five gallons each and nearly full of water. Into these vessels the dates are put and allowed to simmer over a slow fire. As the water in the copper decreased from evaporation it was filled up again, but it gradually became inspissated by the extraction of the juice of the date. The fruit is left in the water about half an hour and is then taken out and spread on mats or cloths in the sun to dry, after which it becomes hard and of a pale red color. It is exported in large quantities from Muskat to India.—Geographical Journal. A Survival of the Primitive. A Philadelphia philosopher thus explains the general preference for a wall table in a restaurant: "Primitive man ate in peril. The cave bear, the saber tooth tiger, even some warrior of his own kind, was apt at any moment to leap upon him and to devour his food and perhaps himself. Therefore he took his meals with his back against a cliff or in the corner of two adjoining cliffs, if possible, and with the open country before him. That, you see, was the safest way for him to eat. He WANTS TO GIVE UP WIFE TO WED MEN Principal of Hemet High School Run Town for His Unnatural Love Making A spicy bit of news comes from Hickory which goes on to say that Walter Way, the dapper 26-year-old prize of the high school, is in love. Luckily not so rare a thing in Hemet that fact alone would be sensational, happens that the young man is living with one of his own pupils while monial bonds are binding his affections to a young wife taken bosom before his heart had been sailed by the shaft of Miss Rogers, the sweet pupil who has him from his first love. Holloway confided his new passions his wife, or his relations to Miss Hickory were so pronounced that he had to make confessions. Anyone entered into an arrangement where wife to have a divorce, after which was to marry Miss Rogers and thus was to live with them as a "friend" family." The wife was agreeable, or so passively subservient that this extraordinary domestic gram was in a fair way to be out, when the matter became known to the trustees of the district. The inhuman treatment of the wife found stern resentment breasts of the trustees and then which comes over Box Spring moor has it that there was "something" in the little mountain town where people found out what the little teacher was up to. A coofer indignant citizens interviewed lovelorn pedagogue and showed the way out of town into the open doors where, the Riverside pride says, the sage brush flour and the jackrabbit abideth. Malloway is supposed to be looking place to lay his head and rumble on the ungenerosity of humanity that will not suffer him to have wives as he wants. "Dry as Statistics." It is fairly obvious that the statistics is not exactly what they termed a popular pastime Winthrop M. Daniels in The American Librarians do not discover any new demand for statistical literature Mr John Lubbock, if I reckon rightly, found no place for any volume of figures in his hundred books, and in that flood of art "Books That Have Helped Authors Great and Authors that same significant silence seem be maintained. There were some..." Linn Shaw of the Evening Herald wants to know if Gage and his friends and the railroad company have a sack down here ready for use. I don't blame Linn for being a little curious for he has just as much right to put his hand or foot in it as any other good Republican in the county. Herald, Feb. 21. The Herald stated the other day that it is said that the Southern Pacific is to use its influence for Gov. Gage's renomination, and that one of the features of the program was to subsidize newspapers in his behalf. Whereupon a more or less immaculate contemporary issues a long wall, which was not unexpected. Neither will it surprise anybody in particular if the immaculate contemporary is "in the list." A few years ago it accepted $250, as was shown in court, to support U. S. Grant, who was Gov. Gage's political enemy. It therefore not unreasonable to suppose that an equal amount, or perhaps considerably less, will enlist just as hearty support for the Governor this time. So far as the Hearld is concerned, it does not require to be bought to say that it is a friend of Gov. Gage. We have always admired his independence and aggressiveness, and believe him to be the most courageous man who has ever occupied the gubernatorial chair. LIBERTY GAS WELL BURNING. C. H. Jennings reports that he has a big flow of natural gas from the well he has been drilling in the hills south of town. The quantity of gas is so great—estimated at 2,000,000 cubic feet per day—that it is considered more valuable than an oil well, and drilling has been stopped. Mr. Jennings says he is arranging to pack and cap the well, and a pipe line will be laid from it to deliver gas to some available market. The gas flow is not only large, but steady, and it is believed will have a long life. A well drilled by Mr. Jennings for the Liberty Oil company a short distance from this and in the same formation over a year ago, has been spouting gas ever since it was drilled. For some time it has been burning, somebody having set it on fire. The gas is said to be of good quality for illumination or power purposes. The Jennings Oil company will commence another well on the same piece of ground at once and develop for either oil or gas—Chino Champion. Working Overtime.

A Philadelphia philosopher thus explains the general preference for a wall table in a restaurant: "Primitive man ate in peril. The cave bear, the saber tooth tiger, even some warrior of his own kind, was apt at any moment to leap upon him and to devour his food and perhaps himself. Therefore he took his meals with his back against a cliff or in the corner of two adjoining cliffs, if possible, and with the open country before him. That, you see, was the safest way for him to eat. He could not then be surprised. "And we still have in us that memory of the primitive man, and we still unconsciously, when we sit down to our repasts, choose places that give us a wall for our protection. That and not a desire to see things is what causes us to pick out walls and corners. You can see as well from the middle of a room or from any other place, you know." A Queer Marriage Custom. In the Loo Choo islands there are some curious marriage customs. One consists in the bridegroom going round to all his friends' houses and permitting them to dress him up in any ridiculous style that they fancy. Sometimes the happy man is arrayed in a gayly painted kimono, the sleeves of which are tied up with a string laden with bells, toys and trumpets. A mask is then put on and a red hat, the "rig out" being completed by an empty kerosene tin, which rattles noisily along as he walks, accompanied generally by a crowd of children. The Pimpernel. The common pimpernel, "poor man's weather glass," has the disadvantage of being a native plant and has been almost completely expelled from our flower gardens in favor of exotics which are rarer but lack much of being as pretty. The pimpernel is a charming little flower, which opens about 8 in the morning and closes late in the afternoon, but has the remarkable peculiarity of indicating a coming shower by shutting up its petals. Select. Once when passing through a cemetery in Lenox Ellot Gregory was surprised to see that the members of one old New England family had been buried in a circle, with their feet toward its center. He asked the reason for this arrangement, and a wit of that day, daughter of Mrs. Stowe, replied "So that when they rise at last dawn members of their own family may face them!" Wore the Blue.

How He Fooled The Dog. A gentleman who is fond of wild animals in their natural surroundings once had an opportunity to himself an example of the for which the fox has become bital. As he was standing near the river one winter day, he saw run out upon the ice and make for a hole. At the edge of the hole he stopped, turned, followed him back to the bank, ran down the paused to await development. In a little while a dog came out of the woods, with his nose to the ice and snow.

Spicy bit of news comes from Hemet, which goes on to say that Walter Hollover, the dapper 26-year-old principal at the high school, is in love. Love is so rare a thing in Hemet that this galone would be sensational, but it opens that the young man is in love one of his own pupils while matrials bonds are binding his lawful relations to a young wife taken to him before his heart had been assaulted by the shaft of Miss Bessie Peters, the sweet pupil who has won from his first love. Followway confided his new passion to wife, or his relations to Miss Rogers, he so pronounced that he did not have to make confessions. Anyway he turned into an arrangement with his wife to have a divorce, after which he married Miss Rogers and the wife to live with them as a "friend of family." The wife was so far receable, or so passively submissive, this extraordinary domestic problem was in a fair way to be carried when the matter became known to trustees of the district. The inhuman treatment of the young man found stern resentment in the acts of the trustees and the story which comes over Box Spring mountain that there was "something doomed" in the little mountain town when people found out what the dapper teacher was up to. A company indignant citizens interviewed the clown pedagogue and showed him away out of town into the open outdoors where, the Riverside Enterprise says, the sage brush flourisheth the jackrabbit abideth. Mr. Hollovey is supposed to be looking for a place to lay his head and ruminating on the ungenerosity of human kind will not suffer him to have as many lives as he wants. "Dry as Statistics."

There were some very poor Sinner's Bell. The poor sinner's bell is a bell in the city of Breslau, in the province of Siliesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower of one of the city churches. It was cast July 17, 1388, according to historic records. It is said that a great bell founder of the place had undertaken to make the finest church bell he had ever made. When the metal was melted, the founder withdrew for a few moments, leaving a boy to watch the furnace and enjoining him not to meddle with the catch that held the molten metal, but the boy disobeyed the caution, and when he saw the metal flowing into the mold he called the founder. The latter rushed in and, seeing as he thought his work of weeks undone and his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy a blow that caused his immediate death. When the metal cooled and the mold was opened, the bell was found to be not only perfect, but of marvelous sweetness of tone. The founder gave himself up to the authorities, was tried and condemned to death. On the day of his execution the bell was rung to call people to attend church and offer a prayer for the unhappy man's soul, and from that it obtained the name of "the poor sinner's bell." Kingly Superstitious. Kingship has been kin to superstition always. James I. of England was superstitious about dates, and there were remarkable coincidences in his life with certain dates of the calendar. The day of the month on which he was born was strangely interwoven with the days of birth and marriage of his wife and some of his children and their wives. But James was an old fool who made love to young Buckingham, who laughed in his face and robbed him of his jewels. Napoleon was superstitious about the way he put on his stockings. Frederick The Great and the great Peter of Russia were superstitious about dozens of things. Marlborough, both as Jack Churchill and the duke, was superstitious as well as a thief and a traitor. Nearly all the Stuarts were superstitious and double dealers in religion. Henry of Navarre was superstitious, but that never kept him from a thousand infidelities. All the children of Catherine of Medici were scared to death by their superstitions, but they could lie, cheat and murder just as well. If Cromwell was a victim of superstition, he kept it to himself—New York Press. Fishing For Ducks.

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, $4\frac{1}{2}$ miles from the foothills, and $148\frac{1}{2}$ 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.

How He Fooled the Dog. A gentleman who is fond of studying old animals in their natural surroundings once had an opportunity of seeing himself an example of the cunning which the fox has become proven. As he was standing near the bank of a river one winter day, he saw a fox out upon the ice and make straight a hole. At the edge of the opening stopped, turned, followed his tracks back to the bank, ran down the stream and paused to await developments. In a little while a dog came tearing off the woods, with his nose close to the ice and snow. He ran along the bank with his head down, following the sentinel until he reached the opening. It then too late to check his speed, plunged into the water and was lost under the ice. The fox meantime had waited in sight to watch the effect of his trick. After the dog came into view the fox remained perfectly mollent until he saw his old enemy appear. Then, with a look on his face which seemed to combine a good nurtured grin with a mild contempt, he went nonchalantly off about his business. Curious Palm of South America. One of the most curious palms in the world is called the ita and is very abundant on the banks of the Amazon. No Negro or Orinoco rivers. In the latter it occupies swampy beds, which are at times completely undulated and present the appearance forests rising out of the water. The pamps are inhabited by a tribe of Indians called Guaranes, who subsist almost entirely upon the produce of the tree. During the annual floods they depend their houses from tops of the stems of the palms. The outer skin of the young leaves is made into cords for hammocks, and the soft inner bark holds a nutritious farinaceous substance. Curlous Palm of South America. In India an ingenious scheme is practiced for taking ducks on a line, which is attached at one end to a flexible stick stuck up in the mud, the other extremity having a double pointed needle of bone attached to it. The latter is baited by stringing upon it some grains of corn. Presently along comes Mr. Duck, swallows the needle and finds himself a captive the moment he tries to fly away. In olden times the Cape Cod fishermen depended largely for bait upon the seafowl they took on their voyages. To catch them they threw out fishing lines with hooks on the end, ie which were attached chunks of cod liver. The latter floated because of the oil they contained, and murres, gulls and other birds swallowing them were quickly pulled in, skinned and chopped up. Roast Peeck. In the old days a peacock was perhaps the most gorgeous and decorative dish on the Christmas board. This was prepared by first carefully removing the skin without losing the feathers. The fowl was then dressed, stuffed with all kinds of good things, roasted and finally sewed into its skin, still retaining the brilliant plumage. The beak was gilded, and this dish, fit for a king, was placed upon the table amid the blare of trumpets and the rapturous applause of the revelers. What He Missed.

Good died at her home west of town on Tuesday, the 18th, of consumption, from which she had suffered for years. Her husband sought to find a location suitable for the prolongation of her life, and they traveled throughout the West with that end in view. For some years past they had been residents of West Anaheim, but the seeds of disease were too firmly planted in the invalid to permit of recovery. Mrs. Good was a native of Missouri, and was aged 33. She leaves a son aged 13. Interment was had in the local cemetery on Thursday. Callsthenies Are a benefit to healthy women. But to women who are suffering from diseases peculiar to their sex they are an injury.

The grossest injury which Dickens over inflicted on a fellow being was his too accurate portrait of an innocent man in his Squeers. That Yorkshire schoolmasters were, as a rule, cruel and wicked enough it is true, but the particular schoolmaster who was recognized and who recognized himself as the original Squeers seems to have been an exception to the rule. It will be remembered that Dickens and his illustrator traveled together to the north of England for the purpose of collecting material for "Nickleby" and especially for the Dotheboys episode. At Great Bridge they visited a boarding school known as Bowes academy. The master, William Shaw, received the strangers with some hauteur and did not as much as withdraw his eyes from the operation of penmaking during the interview. Phiz sketched him in the act; Boz described the act. The personal peculiarities of William Shaw were recognized in Squeers. Shaw became a butt of popular ridicule, lost his pupils and finally died of a broken heart. Yet there is abundant evidence to prove that he was a really excellent and kind hearted man, who was made to suffer for the misdeeds of his neighbors.—Literary Era. Ants and Magnetism. That ants doctor their sick by hypnotism and magnetism is proved by observation. An ardent student tells how he witnessed what may be termed a seance in medical science among ants. He saw several of these little creatures emerge from the hill and noticed that there were some among them which were weak and emaciated—invalids, in fact. They were accompanied by healthy members of the community, and all made their way toward a distant mound. On following their movements through a glass the observer saw on this mound a big and sturdy ant, which made some motions in the direction of the advancing invalids. The latter went up the mound, one by one, and submitted themselves to treatment. This consisted in the physician ant passing his feelings over the head and body of the patient in a manner distinctly suggestive of the hypnotizing of nerves and muscles practiced by human doctors. Every one went through the treatment then the patients went back, and the doctor marched off in the opposite direction. Sealskin Doesn't Come From Sealsa. The beautiful product used for clothing and commonly known as sealskin is not furnished by the true seal, whose skin is almost useless except when used as an ornamental mat or stiff rug. CHILDISH COMFORT. “Never Mind, Mamma, Baby Loves You.” But the childish voice is almost unheeded. The wife and mother has come to a place where love cannot comfort her, where even the voice and words of love are so blent with her own misery that they seem to increase it. Imagine a magnificent orchestra playing in a factory amid the ring of hammers and the rattle and groaning of machinery. The discords would dominate the harmony and the harmony itself merge into discords. That is the way it is with all the music of love when a woman is wrenched and racked by pain. It seems to become part of the very discord of her life. When the cause of this suffering is sought it will almost always be found to be womanly disease. The throbbing head, the aching back, and the dragging-down feeling are but symptoms of a disordered and diseased condition of the delicate womanly organism. When this fact is understood the one thing for the weak and sick woman to do is to look for a cure of the disease which causes her misery. WHERE SHALL, SHE TURN for healing? If a woman were lost in a western prairie and found several paths which might lead to safety, she would take the well-trodden path in preference to the one which showed faint signs of travel. Why not the same in sickness? There is a road to womanly health which has been traveled by hundreds of thousands of women. Read what some of these women say. “I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce’s medicines to other sufferers of ‘Favorite Prescription’ and one of ‘Golden Medical Discovery’. I was like a new woman. Could eat and sleep and do all my own work. I would entreat of any lady suffering from female weakness to give Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription a fair trial, for I know the benefit she will receive.” Mrs. Mattie Venghaus, of Tioga, Hancock County, Ill., writes: “I had been sick for seven years, not in bed but just dragging myself around. At last I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and five of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ and was well. It is impossible to describe in words the good these medicines did me. No praise is too high for Dr. Pierce’s medicines.” WOMAN'S CONFIDENCE JUSTIFIED. The woman who begins use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is justified in feeling that she has taken the first step in the path to perfect womanly health. All womanly diseases medically curable yield to the healing power of this wonderful remedy. It establishes regularity, dries disagreeable and weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. The periodic headache, the distressing backache, and exhausting bearing-down pains are cured permanently with the cure of womanly diseases by "Favorite Prescription." Mothers find in this medicine the best preparative for maternity. It gives abundant strength and makes the baby's advent practically painless. Women suffering from chronic forms of disease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are privately read and privately answered and womanly confidences are guarded by the same strict professional privacy which is observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consultation at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. Address all correspondence to Dr. R.V.Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. In a little over thirty years, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering women. There is no similar offer of free consultation by letter or free medical advice, having behind it an institution such as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., with its fine equipment and skilled medical staff. The free consultation by letter, offered by Dr. Pierce, puts it into every sick woman's power to have the opinion of a specialist whose great success in the treatment and cure of womanly diseases is in itself an en- mound, one by one, and submitted them to treatment. This consisted in the physician ant passing his feelings over the head and body of the patient in a manner distinctly suggestive of the hypnotizing of nerves and muscles practiced by human doctors. Every one went through the treatment then the patients went back, and the doctor marched off in the opposite direction. Sealskin Doesn't Come From Seals. The beautiful product used for clothing and commonly known as sealskin is not furnished by the true seal, whose skin is almost useless except when used as an ornamental mat or stiff rug. They are the sea lions and sea bears—the eared seals, otaria—whose skins are so highly valued because so soft and warm. The true seal is common enough, but its skin is only prized as a trophy, and it may be added that sealskin when ready for clothing has not, as often supposed, the same downy appearance on the living animal, being covered with long, coarse, deep rooted hairs, which drop out when dressed by the furrier and leave the soft, woolly hair uninjured. Where the Difference Lies. "Wherein lies the difference between photography and courtship?" he asked softly. "I don't know," she replied. "In photography," he explained, "the negative is developed in the dark room, while in courtship that is where the affirmative is developed." She blushed, but made no answer. "Let us," he suggested, "proceed to develop an affirmative." There being no objections, it was so ordered—Chicago Post. On the Farm. "Father, I am fired with ambition since I came home from college. I want a broad field for action, where I can accomplish something." "Well, my boy, there is the forty acre lot, which is a rather broad field. You might try a little action in that with a plow and a pair of horses, and if you stick to it you can accomplish something."—New York Herald. Fatherless Children In Japan. Japan has only one orphanage, yet in no other land are fatherless children better cared for. Every family cares for the sick, destitute or orphans nearest to it.

"I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce's medicines to other suffering women," writes Mrs. Mary Adams, of Grassycreek, Ashe Co., N.C. "I had an internal trouble very badly until it resulted in ulcers of the uterus. I was troubled with it so that I never slept a night for seven weeks. The doctors said I could not be cured, but I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Pleasant Pellets.' After taking two bottles I could sleep all night, and after taking six bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and three vials of 'Pleasant Pellets,' my case was cured. I thank God and your medicine for saving my life." "Words cannot tell what I suffered for thirteen years with uterine trouble and dragging-down pains through my hips and back," writes Mrs. John Dickson, of Grenfell, Assiniboia Dist., N.W. Terr. I can't describe the misery it was to be on my feet long at a time. I could not eat nor sleep. Often I wished to die. Then I saw Dr. Pierce's medicines advertised and thought I would try them.

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Grattemen: — 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 catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a numbler of physicians among others, the most efficient car specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease; but the hearing in the affected ear would 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.
