TWO WATER COMPANIES AT LOGGERHEADS Shoulder to Shoulder Against Trespassers—Cannot Agree Upon Matters Affecting Themselves The Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies have split in two over the acquisition of Irvine's rights in the river, and other matters associated therewith, and each manifests a disposition to get at the other's head with the same old shealah. The two companies, alter fighting one another in the courts for years, buried their razors, and formed an offensive and defensive alliance against threatened encroachments upon their vested rights by the Rincon Water and Power company, which loomed up as a bugaboo on the horizon, no bigger'n a man's hand. Now that the finish of that scrap seems to be in sight, the orchestra augmented by a big bassoon, anvil chorus and symphony of male and female voices, is about to strike up a lively two-step for the same old fracas. The Rincon company proved to be the merest bubble, albeit its proportions seemed at one time to be rather large for its age. But so well buttressed in the principles of the law were the vested rights of the two companies found to be, and so masterfully were its contentions placed before the bar of justice, as well from the legal as the engineering standpoint, that the bubble was heard to burst with a fidgety riehotet that came near taking off the roof of Judge Wellborn's courtroom. The case of Appropriator Fuller of Auburndale, in the immaculate county of Riverside (while it proves that the larcenously disposed are not yet all behind the bars), has also been decided, in all its important features, in favor of the two companies, and against the man with the fierce black whiskers. In a word, the two all-powerful valley water companies, irrigating as they do the largest area of highly improved reality in the State, and destined soon to expand its area over more thousand fertile acres, have practically swept the boards of all question of their magnificent water rights. It is at once the most optimistic and far-reaching victory of a settlement with him we consider that the concession asked with regard to Mrs. Bixby's rights are right and reasonable. The fifth provision, reserving full authority over the work while in progress of construction, is not insisted on because of any claim of "suprior intelligence or trustworthiness," but because the conditions of our climate are such that it is impossible to determine ahead when the water can be turned out of the ditch for any definite time without danger of loss to our irrigators. Also, in view of the improvements contemplated in our system, the work must be done when we are ready for it, and not be delayed at the pleasure of the other company. There is no intention of denying to the S. A. V. I. Co. full participation in the work, or its supervision in any detail, except the time of doing the work. The sixth provision was also refused discussion. The companies have jointly purchased a right of way through the Scully tract, with the avowed intention of building a joint canal from our headgate to the Narrows. It now appears that the S. A. V. I. Co. intends to use this as a leverage to obtain a right of way in the Cajon canal, with the alternative of blocking this very improvement. This we regard as unjust. Your committee recommends, in view of the fact that no desirable arrangement seems possible with the S. A. V. I. Co., that plans be made for the improvement of the main canal as follows: 1st. That the main canal from the headgate to station 160 x 64, or a point near that locality favorable for the development of water power, be increased to a capacity of 10,000 miners' inches. 2nd. That from the latter point to the inlet of the Yorba reservoir the capacity be increased to 3000 miners' inches. 3rd. That from the reservoir inlet to the Tuffee reservoir the capacity be made 2500 miners' inches. Also that negotiations be entered into with users of electricity to utilize the power that can be developed by the above improvements. WM. CROWTHER, A. S. BRADFORD, G. W. SHERWOOD, Litigation Committee. Santa Ana Side ARMOR AND NISSON'S REPORT. To the Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company: Immediately after the adoption of amendment to Ry-law XXI, the under the agreement by paying one-half the cost. "4th. That the capacity of the joint ditch be built large enough to admit of carrying 5,000 inches for the A. U. W. Co., it appearing that the A. U. W. Co. can drop 2,000 inches of water at or near the same point as the S. A. V. I. Co.'s proposed drop, for use for power purposes, and in the Anaheim canal for a considerable portion of the year. "5th. That the A. U. W. Co. will pay one-half of $4,150 for the Irvine rights. "7th. In case an agreement cannot be reached with members of the S.A.V.I.Co., it is recommended that the matter of the settlement of the Irvine rights and the matter of the building of the joint canal to the Scully point be segregated from the matter granting a right of way in the Cajon canal." On the reading of this proposition, the members of the joint Litigation committee from the S.A.V.I.Co., realizing that the directors of the A.U.W.Co. were not trying to reach an agreement, immediately secured this passage of a motion referring to position to separate boards with respect to recommendation that the whole subject of the Cajon canal and the Irvine rights be laid upon the table. Justification of this conclusion and summary action, your committee would call attention to facts thatthe A.U.W.Co.is now bargaining for 2 acres of better land at the Tuffee site for the same price offered bythe S.A.V.I.Co.fortheCajon rightofway,andthattheexhibitor price insisted on had previously been rejected by your honorable body;thatthe allegation about Mrs.Bixby rights antedating those oftheS.A.V.I.Co.isfalseandmisleading,sinceoanycompanyhasabsorbedalltherightonthissideoftheriverbelowIrvine someof them dating backahundreysormore;thattheconditionrserving"fullauthorityovertheworkwhileinprogressofconstructioncouldneverbe toleratedbetweenequivalentsofandcontributorstosurvival,evenifthesidemakingthatrestorationweresuperiorinintelligenceandtrustworthinesstotheother;andthattheIrvinerightsandextensionofthecanaluptotheNarrowscanbegregatedfromtheCajoncanalthereasonsgivenbyusattheconfidence.Believingthatnothingcangainedbylongercombattingsuchpicturesandinvalidobjections,yourcommitteewould recommendthatwhethesubjectoftheCajoncanalandtheirvinerightsbearlad uponthetable. Allofwhichisrespectfullymitted. M.NISSON S.A.MOBOR Auburdalde, in the immaculate county of Riverside (while it proves that the larcenously disposed are not yet all behind the bars), has also been decided, in all its important features, in favor of the two companies, and against the man with the fierce black whiskers. In a word, the two all-powerful valley water companies, irrigating as they do the largest area of highly improved realty in the State, and destined soon to expand its area over more thousands of fertile acres, have practically swept the boards of all question of their magnificent water rights. It is at once the most sweeping and far-reaching victory of the kind ever gained in the history of the State. But, presto! As soon as these outside diversions are in a fair way of being finally and forever disposed of, the old spirit of acrimony, which we all thought buried beyond hope of possible resurrection, comes forth, in all its white-sheeted splendor, galloping down the homestretch, nodding, like the long-shot nag which won the race in the story, to friends and acquaintances in the grandstand. The reports of the Litigation committee of each company on the Irvine matter, joint canal up the river, and other matters had under consideration for a year, are divergent—so much so, indeed, that, unless wiser council prevails, these things, which not long ago seemed to be in course of amicable adjustment, to the mutual advantage of both, seem further removed from the plane of any basis of settlement than ever. These reports are republished in response to general request. We commend them to the careful perusal of our readers on both sides the river. The Anaheim Side TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO.—Gentlemen: Although your body is informed of the facts in the matter of the joint negotiations with the S. A. V. I. Co. with regard to the acquisition of Jas. Irvine's rights, the construction of a joint canal to the Scull point, and the granting of a right of way in the Cajon canal to the S. A. V. I. Co., it is deemed best to make a report of the matter as a whole, that it may become a part of the records. The report of Messrs. Armor and Nisson, the S. A. V. I. Co. members of the Litigation committee to their Board of Directors, published in the ANAHEIM GAZETTE of April 3, 1902 contains all the facts in the matter, to gather with comments thereon from their point of view, and is hereby submitted as part of our report, so far as the presentation of facts is concerned, together with the following explanations in reply to the comments of Messrs. Armor and Nisson. The report is as follows: [See adjoining column.] As the first proposition was materially modified by the subsequent instructions to the committee unanimously passed by the board, it will be only necessary to explain the revisions of the latter. At the committee meeting the S. A. V. I. Co. members refused to discuss 3rd. That from the reservoir inlet to the Tuffee reservoir the capacity be made 2500 miners' inches. Also that negotiations be entered into with users of electricity to utilize the power that can be developed by the above improvements. WM. CROWTHER, A. S. BRADFORD, G. W. SHERWOOD, Litigation Committee. Santa Ana Side ARMOR AND NISSON'S REPORT. To the Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company: Immediately after the adoption of the amendment to By-law XXI, the joint committee took up the consideration of the united action of the two companies in purchasing Irvine's riparian-rights in the river, enlarging the Cajon canal from a point opposite our intake to the division gate and extending said enlarged canal from a point opposite our intake to the division gate, and extending said enlarged canal up to the Narrows on the Ballistero tract. By order of the committee, Messra Kellogg and Sherwood prepared the following estimate of the value of 14-164 feet of the upper end of the Cajon canal: Excavation, 41,000 yds. at 15 cents..... $6,150 00 Structures, gates, chutes, etc.... 2,800 00 Work on levee, 5,000 yards at 30 cents..... 1,500 00 Cement work, Gray Bros., 2,-000 feet..... 3,337 20 Cement work, Groat, 440 feet... 1,760 00 Add usual 10 per cent..... 1,554 72 Total cost construction..... $17,101 92 Right of way, 20 acres..... 5,500 00 Total value canal..... $22,601 92 Based upon this estimate the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company submitted the following offer in form of a resolution adopted by said board: "Resolved. That it is the sense of this board that we make the following proposition to the S. A. V. I. Co.: That they pay us $11,300 for one-half interest in the Cajon ditch up to our present intake, as per estimate by engineers, and $2,500 for the loss that this company will sustain during the construction and enlarging of ditch from Horse-shoe bend to our present intake, and that we allow them $2,000 for one-half interest in the Irvine purchase." This proposition was rejected by your honorable body, and a conference of two boards was called for. In that conference the items of the proposition were discussed seriatim. The engineers admitted that probably $800 worth of the $2,800 for gates, chutes, etc., would be useless in the new work No satisfactory explanation was given for charging over $283.20 per acre for twenty acres in the right of way and no defense at all was made for the claim of $2,500 for loss during the construction and enlarging. An estimate of the value of in terests under consideration was then submitted to the Anaheim Union Water company by your honorable body based on the facts drawn out in this discussion as follows: Excavation, 41,000 yds. at 15 cents..... $6,150 00 Structures, gates, chutes, etc.... 2,800 00 Work on levee, 5,000 yards at 30 cents..... 1,500 00 Cement work, Gray Bros., 2,-000 feet..... 3,337 20 Cement work, Groat, 440 feet... 1,760 00 Add usual 10 per cent..... 1,554 72 Total cost construction... $16,221 92 Right of way, 20 acres at $50.. 1,000 00 While in progress or construction could never be tolerated between equiv owners of and contributors to auction work; even if the side making this restoration were superior in intelligence and trustworthiness to other; that the Irvine rights and extension of the canal up to the Narrows can be segregated from the Cajon canal because reasons given by us at the conclusion. Believe that nothing can gain by longer combatting such texts and invalid objections; your omittee would recommend that this subject of the Cajon canal and this vine rights be laid upon the table. All of which is respectfully submitted. M. NISSON Spring Aliments. There is an aching and tired feel in the liver, bowels and kidneys because sluggish and inactive; the digestion is paired; with little or no appetite ambition for anything; and a feel that whole body and mind toning up.

"Meat prices are sure to go down and a cut from present exorbitant will probably be hastened by a coalition against the beef trust," said M. Todd; former Fusion Congress; and owner of the largest cattle ranch in Michigan. "It is claimed they receive 7 cents a pound for his cattle he added; "In reality few animals have over 50 cents in the Chicago yard; raising pays the freight." Be sold for 5 cents flat on the hoof in cage; and the trust talk of high price for stock isn't true. With 40 per cent off for dress and cost of putting on the market trust earns 10 per cent onthe business. For beef; 10 per cent would be good profit. The sales ofthe must amount to over a million day; so it is easily seen what process is making. "I believe ifthe meat rates are as at present andthe matter contiudeto be agitated;an opposition organization will be formed. This may lead two trusts;one fightingthe other." No Loss Of Time.

Armor and Nisson. The report is as follows: [See adjoining column.] As the first proposition was materially modified by the subsequent instructions to the committee unanimously passed by the board, it will be only necessary to explain the revisions of the latter. At the committee meeting the S. A. V. I. Co. members refused to discuss the matter, and offered a resolution that the matter be referred back to the boards with the recommendation that it be laid on the table. This resolution was passed without debate. The recommendation of the committee was adopted by each board at a subsequent meeting, and there the matter rests. The value of the right of way was figured at the price paid for the right of way jointly purchased through the Scully property. The price asked cannot be fairly compared with the Ballestero tract or the Tuffree reservoir property, as in the latter cases a large amount of land was and will have to be purchased to obtain the small amount actually utilized. In the case of the Cajon canal all the land will be utilized. The additional facts that a valuable water power will be developed by the S. A. V. I. Co.; that they will save greatly in the loss by evaporation and seepage, and that we possess the most practical if not the only safe location for a canal, makes the value set on the right of way, in our opinion, very reasonable. Our contention with regard to Mrs. Bixby's rights was based upon the statement of our attorney that the settlement with her was made at a date subsequent to that of the joint agreement entered into between the two companies. If this statement was "false and misleading," that fact should be shown, which cannot be done by a refusal to discuss the matter. In any case we are not debarred from insisting upon this point in the settlement, especially as any way of turning out Mrs. Bixby's intermittent supply of water from the joint canal, and at the same time maintaining an accurate division of the water, is difficult if not impossible to devise. We do not consider that Irvine's riparian rights are of any great value to us except in getting a right of way across his land, and if we pay one-half structure and enclosure. An estimate of the value of the interests under consideration was then submitted to the Anaheim Union Water company by your honorable body based on the facts drawn out in the discussion as follows: Excavation, 41,000 yds. at 15 cents..... $6,150 00 Structures, gates, chutes, etc. ... 2,000 00 Work on levee, 5,000 yards at 30 cents ..... 1,500 00 Cement work, Gray Bros., 2,-060 feet ..... 3,337 20 Cement work, Groat, 440 feet ... 1,760 00 Add usual 10 per cent ..... 1,474 72 Total cost of construction... $16,221 92 Right of way, 20 acres at $50.. 1,000 00 Total value of canal..... $17,221 92 Offset, 100 shares stock at $41.50 ..... 4,150 00 Balance for A. U. W. Co..... $13,071 92 Half that balance due A. U. W. Co..... $6,535 96 "This sum of 46,855 we hereby offer you, together with a half interest in the Irvine rights under consideration, in exchange for a half interest in the Cajon canal from its intake at the division gate down to a point opposite the present intake of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company's present canal; provided we are not prevented by delay or other causes from securing Irvine's rights, and the conveyance of title to the said half interest in the Cajon canal be made satisfactory to us." This offer was rejected by the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company, and the following resolution was sent to the joint Litigation committee: "Resolved, That the matter of the settlement with the S. A. V. I. Co., with regard to the Irvine rights and the granting of a right of way in the upper part of the Cajon canal, be referred back to the Litigation committee with the recommendation that they endeavor to arrange a settlement with the S. A. V. I. Co. on the following terms: 1st. That the valuation of the work done on the Cajon canal be placed at $16,221.92. 2nd. That the valuation of the right of way, twenty acres, be placed at $5,664, making a total valuation of $21,885.92. 3rd. That the S. A. V. I. Co. be required to pay one-half of the settlement with Mrs. Bixby, it appearing that her right in the river antedated both of the companies, and thus became a charge on the water in the river which is divided equally between the companies; and her claim having been settled by the A. U. W. Co.at a time subsequent to the agreement between the two companies, the A. U. W. Co.thus became the sole owner of her rights until such time as the S. A. V.I.Co.might desire to claim their half..." An agreement by paying one-third of the capacity of the joint built large enough to admit of 10,000 inches for the A.U.W. bearing that the A.U.W. Co. had 2,000 inches of water at or some point as the S.A.V.I. used drop, for use for power and in the Anaheim canal underable portion of the year. That the A.U.W. Co. will half of $4,150 for the Irvine case an agreement cannot be paid with the members of the S.Co., it is recommended that war of the settlement of the Irvine and the matter of the build joint canal to the Scully segregated from the matter right of way in the Cajon reading of this proposition members of the joint Litigation from the S.A.V.I. Co., that the directors of the A.U.W. were not trying to reach an immediate secured the motion referring the prosecution to the separate boards with recommendation that the whole of the Cajon canal and the Irvine be laid upon the table. In addition of this conclusion and summation, your committee would mention to the facts that the A.U.W. is now bargaining for 20 better land at the Tuffee resale for the same price offered S.A.V.I. Co. for the Cajon away, and that the exhorbitant assisted on had previously been by your honorable body; that negotiation about Mrs. Bixby's medating those of the S.A.V.I. false and misleading, since our has absorbed all the rights inside of the river below Irvine, them dating back a hundred more; that the condition requiring "full authority over the work in progress of construction" never be tolerated between equal of and contributors to such even if the side making that reason were superior in intelligence worthiness to the other; and the Irvine rights and extensions canal up to the Narrows cannot regenerate from the Cajon canal for persons given by us at the confer-Believing that nothing can be by longer combatting such pre-valid objections, your com-mould recommend that the whole of the Cajon canal and the Irvines be laid upon the table.

Both are out for Superintendent of Public Schools. One is J.B.

Such a recommendation should go a long ways with a Republican candidate. When any Republican editor can assert that his candidate will not steal, it is a remarkable endorsement. Mr. Nichols should congratulate himself on such an endorsement. The other man who is out W.R.Carpenter of Placeenia.

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,44 miles from the foothills,and 148 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,或for farming on a small scale.The following are a few of the products:oranges,lemons walnuts,grapes,apricots,sugar beets,berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association,水 company,two railroads,fruit cannery and drier,大型 oil industry,ostrich farm,bank several adequate commercial houses,two hotels and two newspapers.The city also owns its water and lighting plant. For Those Who Live on Farms. Dr.Bergin,Pana,Ill.,writes: "I RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS Curious Way Some British Officers Discovered This Fact. It is probable that few occident cooks who prepare rice in various forms for diet are aware that in carding the water in which it is boiled they are wasting what is regarded as the most nutritious part of food.This fact was curious proved some years since when a attachment of Europeans and natives leaguered in a fort with insufficient tions,even of rice,to enable them hold out until a force could march their relief. It was when the officers were ousely debating this problem that natives approached them with was regarded as a curious solutionthe difficulty.If proposed lacethe Europeans took all the rice,the natives,would be quite conewith the water in which it was boiled.The suggestion.in place of any beadwas adopted,when it was remai-twhile the Europeans found it difficult to maintain their strength on rations of rice the natives lost non-their stamina by several weeks'drivethe water.When the proposal made,the action of the natives praised as one of great devotiontheir superiors,but the sentiment somewhat mollished when die-dry was made that the natives quite aware that the principal nou-ment lay in the water.

Bees for 5 cents flat on the hoof in Chicago and the trust talk of high prices rock isn’t true. With 40 per cent off for dressing cost of putting on the market, the earns 100 per cent on the business. For beef, 10 per cent would be good profit. The sales of the trust amount to over a million every day it is easily seen what profit it making.

Fleishman, the absconding cashier of the Farmers and Merchants' bank of Los Angeles, were sold at publication on Friday morning at the courthouse by Sheriff Lacy upon an attachment suit filed by the bank a few days after Fleishman's defalcation. The property consisted of 600 acres in Trabuca canyon, one lot at Olive, and two lots at Pacific City. The property was sold to the Farmers and Merchants' bank for the sum of $850. Fleishman is said to be in Chile, where he has gone into business. The duel in the dark was a favorite with duelists. Two men were locked in a dark room and crawled stealthily from corner to corner until some false step made one of them the target for bullet or blade. Life is a duel in the dark with mistake and the attack comes swift and sudden. The mistake which commonly opens the way for an attack by disease is neglect of the symptoms of stomach trouble. When eating is followed by undue fullness, belchings, sour or bitter ralings etc., disease is attacking the stomach. The best way to frustrate such an attack is to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and makes the body strong and healthy. "I was troubled very much with my head and stomach by Co., Ala., he was so disay when I would raise up in bed would fall right back. Could eat very little, ill fact scarcely anything there seemed to be a heavy weight stomach so I could not rest; I had to bach very often and would hardly ever吃 anything I could eat four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and five of his Favorite Prescription" and am now hearty and hearty. I feel like a new woman and give Dr. Pierce's medicines credit for life I had taken medicine from physicians without ageable 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.

A Theory of His Rise and Progress. The word "kicker" is no more slang, but an honorable term admitted by the lexicographer to the round table of English speech. This acceptance of the word proves that there was a real need for it; that a certain class of people had no word in the English language to fitly designate them. As a class these kickers must be as modern as the word which describes them. They are in effect a new product of our latest civilization. The word which describes the kicker is picturesque. It suggests the mule whose kicking is usually done out of pure wantonness; which kicks in season and out of season, at everything or at nothing as the case may be. The term kicker scarcely needs definition. We know exactly what it means, as well as we know the chronic fault-finder it designates. THE RISE OF THE KICKER. Any one who cares to trace the rise of the kicker will find that he keeps pace with the prevalent American disease, typhus. All kickers may not be of dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach and organs o' digestion and nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures. O. S. Copenhaver, 3sq., of Mount Union, Huntingdon Co., Pa. (Box 222), writes: "About twelve years ago I was suddenly taken with a pain in the pit of the stomach which was so violent I could not walk straight. It would grow more severe until it caused waterbrash and vomiting of a slimy, yellow water. I consulted a physician and he told me I had a form of dyspepsia and treated me for about six months with but little benefit. I still kept getting so weak I could scarcely walk. I then tried another physician and hetold me my liver was out of order and that I had indigestion. He gave me a treatment and I got some better, but only for a short time. I then tried another one who said I had chronic indigestion, ulceration of the lining of the stomach, torpid Sheep In Varied Clothing. one of the results of the investiga- Sheep In Varied Clothing. One of the results of the investigation of a special committee of the Society of Arts into the question of book-binding goes to show that sheepskin often used by bookbinders under their different names. They found books bound nominally in Levant morocco, hard grain morocco, straight palm morocco, pigskin, calfakin, cocoa and alligator leather, all of which close microscopic examination were found to be the ordinary common sheepkin on which had been stamped special grains and markings of the ones they were got up to imitate. The committee, however, were satisfied that in many cases both the book-binders and the librarians had bought these leathers under the impression that they were buying the genuine articles—London Globe. How Russian Peasants Live. Most of the Russian peasants pass a great deal of their lives in workshops where they work, eat and sleep, the same room sheltering a number and probably a pig in the bargain. There are few beds. Instead, all around the four walls of the room is fixed what may be literally described as a bench. It is made of wood, and at this works the peasant by day, and on it he sleeps by night, each man at his own spot. The conditions of the Russian workshop or factory and the Russian prison and military barracks, so far as interior arrangements are concerned, are similar. Chairs there will also be and a table, rudely fashioned, as a rule, by those men themselves.—Saturday Review. Twentieth Century Medicine. The twentieth century has almost a three field in medicine. Although much has been accomplished in the treatment of diseases, the science is still largely experimental, and there is room for a host of discoveries. Perhaps by the time this century is ended there will be a lymph or an antitoxin or some sort of treatment for every ill the flesh is in their to, so that a few vaccinations and other treatments will guarantee immunity for a long period. Then centenarians will be as common as blackberries and a man will be young at eighty.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Hoped to Strike the Right One.

The term kicker scarcely needs definition. We know exactly what it means, as well as we know the chronic fault-finder it designates. THE RISE OF THE KICKER. Any one who cares to trace the rise of the kicker will find that he keeps pace with the prevalent American disease, dyspepsia. All kickers may not be dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely kickers. They are everlasting faultfinders. Nothing goes right for them in the family or in business. There is always a dead fly in their ointment. It is a miserable condition for the dyspeptic and his friends. He really can't help himself. His nerves are strained to the limit of endurance. His ears are like megaphones magnifying every little sound to the shock of thunder. His eyes lose sense of perspective and he sees mole-hills as mountains. He is suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and obstinate; and all these things are only symptoms of the disease which is starving and weakening the entire nervous system and reaching out toward heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs. WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR HIM? What can be done for the victim of dyspepsia? He can be cured. He can be given a new start in life. He can be made the amiable, companionable man he was of old. He can once more eat with appetite and enjoyment, work with energy, and sleep the night through in sound, dreamless slumber. This is not a mere empty claim unsupported by facts. The statement that the dyspeptic can be cured is made on the authority of thousands of men and women, who have been entirely cured liver and kidney affection. He treated me for more than a year and I felt much better but it did not last. I then took to using several widely advertised patent medicines, but received no more than temporary relief while using. I then tried Dr. Pierce's medicines, using his 'Golden Medical Discovery,' 'Favorite Prescription' and the 'Pleasant Pellets' and in two months' time I was feeling better than I had for years before. I can truthfully say Dr. Pierce's medicines did me more good than any I had ever taken." Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores bodily strength by enabling the assimilation of food which is the directly on the blood-making glands, increasing their activity and so increasing the supply of blood which is enriched and purified by the "Discovery." "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol and is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics and injurious drugs. Do not accept any substitute for the "Discovery" though claimed to be "just as good." "Golden Medical Discovery" has cured when all other medicines have failed. There is nothing else "just as good." $25,000.00 GIVEN AWAY.
