VALLEJO, Cal., May 12.— The Ben nington awaits orders for sea, which are being delayed for the evident reason that there is no particular place for ncr to go to, and that while lying at the dock the expense of oil and fuel is saved. The Thetis came up to the island Satur day. She is considered one of the most comfortable little ships on the coast and will remain at the yard for some time to "work up the charts, upon which her offi cers are engaged. The staging has been erected about the new steel tug to be built near the ferry gate house. When once fairly started rapid progress is expected to be mude on tb,e hull. A satisfactory test of the new locomotive gib crane was made a few days ago. The track is not entirely completed, but soon will be. The monitor Monadnock came out of the docks during the past week and was tied tip alongside the quay wall. The armor for her turrets is being put on board. The farming lands are looking well, and the indications are that an abundant crop will be harvested at the yard. The pasture lands are in good condition, and the herds of stock and cattle appear to be well fed and carefully guarded. The oxen have giveu way to horses and the small locomo tive to be daily observed running up and down the tracks along the water front. It is the intention to extend the line to all the shops about the stone drydack and around the island. In the sail loft the play "Love on Crutches" will be presented Monday even ing, through the efforts of the officers of the gunboat Benninpton. The cruiser Olympia remains at her buoy in midstream, with no orders for her. records are j-v daxger. San Bernardino Trotting Mare Gazelle Foals a Colt by McKinney. HSAN BERNARDINO, Cal., May 12.— There was a notable birth in the equine world last wees when Ben Davis' four year-old black mare Gazelle foaled a colt. : He is a dark bay, big, strong and handsome, and ail that the fondest lover of horses could ask for in form and color. In this youngster there is combined the best racing record of this State. His sire, McKinney, trotted in 2:11% in the seventh heat of a race at Stockton. His dam, as a three-year-old, achieved the State's record of 2:l6J<{. The faster time has been made in private and in trial heats, but not upon a racetrack in Cali fornia. If heredity counts for anything great things may be expected from this colt. It is among the probabilities that he may be able to break the world's record if no mis fortune befalls him. The sire and the dam each broke the record of a State which has produced no end of first-class trotters, and the son gives every indication of having inherited the racing qualities of his pro genitors. The development of Gazelle's colt will be watched with interest. ROMANCE OF LOS AXGET.ES. (The Son of Millionaire lilinn to Marry a Variety Actress.

A SACRAMENTO MYSTERY Joseph Mackey Claims to Have Been Shot for Kissing a Young Lady. The Police, However, Think His Wound Was Received While Try ing: to Loot a Residence. SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 12.— A young man who gives the name of Joseph Mackey was brought to the Receiving Hospital this evening by a citizen who had found him limping along L street, evidently suffering great pain. Maokey stated that he had been shot near the groin in the right leg by a stranger. He said he had been drinking all day and while standing at the corner of Third and L streets an impulse prompted him to kiss a beautiful young lady, a per fect stranger to him, who was passing on Third street. He stepped up to her, threw h\s arms about her and gave her a resound ing smack. The startled girl screamed snd he then turned ana walked to Fifth s'reet, where he was approached by a man who placed a pistol against his leg and fired, exclaiming, "Take that, you." The police are inclined to doubt this ver sion of the manner in which the wound was received, as shortly after Mackey was p ! aced in the hospital, and before his wound was dressed, he escaped through the side door, and despite the agony it must h ive caused him ran rapidly up the street. Policeman Talbot pursued and overtook him after he had run a block, and he was then locked in a cell to await the arrival of a physician. On being searched a small ratchet-drill, such as are used by burglars in safe-drill ing, and a minute powder-can, were found in Mackey's inside vest pocket. These, coupled with the fact that it has been im possible to discover any one who had heard or seen the shooting, lead the police to be lieve that Mackey is a burglar and was possibly phot while obtaining access to some residence by the lady of the house, who had discovered him after he had ef fected an entrance. The weapon used was a 22-caliber revolver, the size usually car ried by women. Mackey will be held by the authorities until the affair can be fully investigated. FIRED UFOX BY A TRAMP. Conductor Molter Has a Xarrou) Escape From Death at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 12.—Con ductor Jacob Molter narrowly escaped death to-night. A murderously disposed tramp deliberately snot at him because Molter ejected him from the platform of a passenger coach, where, in company with three other tramps, he was endeavoring to steal a ride to Oregon. When the Portland overland train was leaving the Sacramento depot to-night, and moving at a very slow rate of speed through the yard, Conductor Molter dis covered four tramps on the platform and forward trucks of the head passenger coach. Molter ordered them to leave the train, at the same time pulling the bell cord to stop the locomotive. Before the train could be brought to a standstill the tramps sprang to the ground and one of them drew a large Colt's re volver, and taking deliberate aim at the conductor, fired. The bullet passed so close to Molter's head that he could plain]? feel the wind of the missile on his cheek. As he was unarmed the conductor sprang back into the passenger coach in search of a weapon, bnt before he could procure one the murderous tramps effected their es- cape. Molter is experiencing a surfeit of excit ing railroad experiences this season, he haying been in charge of the train that was held up at Ben Ali Station some time since. Marry Sandt Taken to Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 12.— Sheriff Johnson to-day brought from San Fraii cisco Harry Sandt, alias Shy* Red, who has been suspected of being the leader in the horrible butchery of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. L. Weber here on the 29th of December last. The chief evidence against the pris oner is the alleged fact that the bloody coat of one of the murderers found in a barrel in the rear of Weber's house is one that a citizen named Ellis Harlow says he gave to Shy Red shortly before the murder. SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1895. SANTA CRUZ ENERGY Even the Silurians Are Aiding the Carnival Committee. ALL ARE ENTHUSIASTIC ■ The Work of Decorating the City Has Already Been Commenced. WILL EXCEL THE VENETIAN. Director-General Smith Confident That Santa Cruz Will Outrival the Canal City. SANTA CRUZ, Cal., May 12.— The acme of all carnivals, fiestas and flower shows will occur at Santa Cruz next month. The enthusiasm and energy of the leaders of the movement is enough to insure success. These qualities have become infectious — even the Silurians have a mild attack. Old J. PHILIP SMITH. DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE SANTA CRUZ WATER CARNIVAL. [From a photograph.] and young, rich and poor, are pledging themselves to the service of the committee having the affair in charge. J. Philip Smith, the director-general of the coming fete, who has taken part in the gayest carnivals of Europe, says emphati cally : "This water carnival of Santa Cruz is to be more gorgeous than those on the grand canal of Venice." If the citizens continue to give Director- General Smith their hearty co-operation, he cannot fail; intelligence, enthusiasm and generosity allied to great wealth are an invincible combination. The carnival colors — eschscholtzia yellow and white — will soon be displayed every where. One of the largest hotels, the Paci fic Ocean House, is elaborately decorated already. The electric-cars and several public institutions are draped with the artistic hues adopted by the committee. Badges will be put on sale everywhere. The Encinal Yacht Club, the Canoe clubs of Oakland and Alameda, the Corin thians and the Stockton Rowing Club are expected to take part in the water carnival from the day of opening — June 11. This date was chosen because of the closing of the schools in San Francisco, San Jose, Stockton and other adjacent cities which will join hands with Santa Cruz in mak ing the carnival a success. WRECKED NEAR NEAH BAY The PortTownsend Tug Mogul Is Disabled and Runs Ashore. It Is Thought the Vessel Will Be Ground to Pieces by Heavy Swells and High Winds. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., May 12.— The Government operator at the Tatoosh Island Signal Station reports that the tug Mogul is ashore three miles above the rocks on the soft, sandy beach between Flattery Rocks and Neah Bay. The tug left here last night towing the British bark Darra, lumber laden for Sydney, and it is supposed the vessel's machinery broke down or else it ran onto a log, knocking a hole in its bottom. Immediately upon receipt of the news a tug was sent here having on board Man ager Libby, who will order the other tugs of the fleet to proceed to the rescue of the distressed vessel. The supposition is that the Mogul will be lost, as the place where she went ashore has not only the heavy swell of the Pacific Ocean but also wind from all directions. It is highly probable that the vessel is leaking or it would have been taken to Neah Bay, where ample pro tection is afforded against all weather. The Mogul was built in Tacoma in 1887. It was recently sold to Victoria capitalists, who represent the interests of the Puget Sound tug boats on the British side. The vessel had been in commission but a short time, having recently come out of the ship yards at Victoria after undergoing exten sive repairs. It is under the command of Captain Henry Smith, one of the best known tugboat masters on the coast. The vessel was worth about $30,000; insurance unknown. FEZL FROM HIS WHEEL. Ralph Thompson, the Cycling Club Or ganiser, Injured at Santa Cruz. SANTA CRUZ, Cal., May 12.— Ralph Thompson, captain of the Pilot Wheelmen and ex-chief of the Council of San Fran cisco Bicyclists, met with a painful acci dent while coasting on his bicycle near Capitola this afternoon. He fell from the wheel and struck his head against a rock, supposedly while dizzy. He is suffering from concussion of the brain. Dr. Morgan, the attending physician, says that recov ery is probable. Thompson is a prominent young busi ness man of this city, and among the first organizers of bicycle clubs in the State. AFTER A. i C EAR'S ILLXESS. Death of Ex- President Seety of Amherat College. AMHERST, Mass., May 12.— The long expected death of ex-President Seely of Araherst College occurred at his home in this city at 7:30 this evening of palsey. He had been ill over a year. Juiius Hawley Seely was born in Bethel, Conn., September 14, 1824. He studied at Amherst Theological Seminary and then in Europe in 1852-53. He was ordained at Schenectady, N. V., August 10, 1853. Dr. Seely was a member of the forty-fourth Congress from 1874 to 1877. While in Con gress he opposed the electoral commission and the declaration of the election of Ruth erford B. Hayes, though he generally voted the Republican ticket. Union College con ferred upon him the degree of D.D. in 1862 and that of LL.D. was received from Co lumbia in 1876. CEDAR RAPIDS, lowa, May 12.— Cyrus Waldegrave Eaton, ex-Mayor and one of the most prominent Masons in the United States, died to-day. BURNED HIM IN EFFIGY Disrespect Shown for Governor Turney of Tennessee at Erwin. A Dummy Figure Hanged by the Sheriff and Then Cremated by a Mob. , BT. LOUIS, Mo., May 12.— A special to the Republic from Chattanooga, Term., Bays: Governor Turney was burned and hanged in effigy last night in Unicorn County in the eastern part of the State, the ceremony being witnessed by a large crowd. A scaf fold was erected at Erwin, the county seat, and the fact that the burning would take place was passed from mouth to mouth, and the adherents of Evans gathered from miles around. A dummy, dressed as much after the fashion of Turney as possible, was brought up and the noose adjusted by the Republican Sheriff of the county. The mob was howling with derision. "Have you any reason to offer why you should not be hanged for disgracing this State?" the Sheriff asked. There was no reply and the trap was sprung. Tne effigy was then saturated with kerosene and a torch applied. Unicorn is a Republican county and there was no disturbance except that caused by those of the mob imbibing too freely of mountain dew. The leaders said "the execution" was the only means they had of expressing their indignation of the steal of the State by the Democrats and the disfranchisement by the partisan in vestigation committee. Britain Will Xot Renew. CHICAGO, May 12.— A special to the Times-Herald from Victoria, B. C, says: The Government has decided not to renew the agreement with the United Stateß respecting the seizing of arms and imple ments of sealing vessels proceeding to Bering Sea during the closed season. This information came in as an official message to the Collector of Customs to-day and is in consequence of the non-paying of the $45*),000 indemnity due British seal ers and withheld by the American Govern ment after being formally agreed^c. IN FERTILE TULARE. Valley Road Directors Cross the Great Wheat Belt. BANQUETED AT VISALIA. They Are Pleased at the In ducements Offered in the Way of Freight. ANOTHER COMPETING LINE. Director Watt Favors the Construc tion of Two Roads From Fresno to Delano. VISALIA, Cal., May 12.— The directors of the Valley Railroad are in Visalia, rest ing from the fatigue of constant travel. For the last three mornings they have been arising at 5 o'clock, and the weather has been uncomfortably warm for people unac customed to the heat of the San Joaquin Valley. They left Ilanford for Delano at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, but owing to the cir cuitous route traveled did not reach Delano until 8 in the evening. The last twenty seven miles was over "white ash" land, and was very trying to the travelers. This morning a start was made from Delano at 6 o'clock, and some of the directors were in Visalia by 2 p. m., the last party arriving at 4 o'clock. Rooms had been engaged at the Palace Hotel by the Visalia Board of Trade for the party, and after a bath the directors were entertained at dinner. After dining they were taken to the site of the proposed depot, and were shown some of the im provements inaugurated since the talk of a competing road began. The trip to-day was over forty miles of fertile wheat fields, where there is growing a commodity the Valley Railroad will want a chance to haul when the line is com pleted. The vast fields of golden grain con vinced them that the east side has substan tial inducements to offer in the way of freight, and the people of Visalia are satis fied, now that the directors have seen both the west and east side, that the main line will pass throu£i this city. The directors have very little to say about the country over which they have traveled for the past three days. Mr. Sloss and Mr. Spreckels say the directors have had no opportunity to talk the matter over among themselves, and will not do so until they have looked at Fresno and in terviewed the people there. They say they are anxious to have the route located, for they want to push the work. They have rails on the way from the East sufficient to lay 120 miles of road, which would bring the line to some point south of Fresno. No opportunity was given the citizens of Visalia to show the wonderfully productive land around this city, but the directors said that was unnecessary, inasmuch as Claus Spreckels and Messrs. Watt and Pay son had seen it when on a visit here some two weeks ago. On this trip they simply wanted to be driven over the country through which the road would run if laid out on the east side. The party will be taken by representa tives of the Visalia Board of Trade to Fresno by way of Dinuba, Orosi, Reed ley and Banger to-morrow morning. Lunch will be served at the magnificent ranch owned by the California Fruit and Wine Land Company, and the trip will be through a continuous grain field for al most the entire distance. There are some orchards on the way, but the principal product of the country is grain. This the advocates of the east side contend is a point in their favor, inasmuch as fruit is shipped directly East and would not be a source of revenue to the Valley road, while wheat would be shipped to Stockton, and all of it could be sent over the competing road. The immense lumber trade at Sanger i 9 another strong point in favor of the east side, and the possibilities in the way of a paying freight business from that point will be fully explained. Visalia's committee, sent to Delano, was composed of S. Mitchell. J. V. Huffaker, A. G. Patton, C J. Berry, W. H. Hammond, W. S. Hayes, Benjamin Parker and Harry Levinson. The committee appointed for to-morrow includes A. Levis, GK W. Stew art, Benjamin M. Maddox, S. C. Brown, P. M. Norboe, A. G. Patton, J. V. Huffaker and E. C. Farnsworth. In the parlors of the Palace Hotel there was an important discussion between the directors and citizens of Visalia this even ing. Director Watt said that, speaking for himself, he would be in favor of building two roads from Fresno to some t»oint in Kern County, probably at Delano. He said he thought the country around Visalia was too good to leave off the line of tne Valley road, and he was also of the opinion that Hanford would be taken care of. It was his opinion that roads should be built south from Fresno, through both cities, and both would have equal facilities and equal services. Both would be main lines and both could be constructed at the same time. The other directors did not dissent from Mr. Watt's proposition, although it was a surprise to them. They seemed to think it an excellent idea, and the Visalia people seemed pleased with the proposition. En gineer Storey will remain with the party. WOULD SOT PARTICIPATE. Row Over the Laying of a Corner-Stone in I'ittsliurrj. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 12.— The corner stone of St. Francis Xavier's Church in Allegheny was laid this afternoon. Over 1500 of the members of the Irish societies had assembled to parade, and the cathe dral band was to lead them. Bishop Phelan, however, decided that it was not proper to have a band at a corner-stone laving and dismissed the musicians. As a result the Board of Erin and the Hibernian Rifles refused to participate in the ceremonies. The new church and school is to be the nucleus of a new con vent. DROWNED IS THE OHIO. Wind Capsized a Boat and Four lAre* Are Lost. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, May William A. Elligtt gad Davis Wheeler of this city, nd Dick and Henry Rainey of Kentucky were drowned in the Ohio at this place last night. They attempted to cross in a small boat with two boys and a heavy wind cap sized the boat. The boys clung to the boat and were saved, but the four men all went under. A search has been in progress all day, but none of the bodies have been found. ACCEPTED A BRIBE. Verdict of Guilty Returned Against a Detroit School Director. DETROIT, Mich., May 12.— A verdict of guilty was rendered early this morning against Julius Llchtenberg, the ex-school inspector, who was tried for accepting a bribe from the agent of a Manitower, Wis., furniture company. Lichtenberg was re manded for sentence. This is the second conviction of members of the Detroit school board on the same charge. Inspec tor Lippert was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, but was recently granted a new trial by the Supreme Court. Inspector Joseph Walsh was acquitted and Inspector Davis left town when the charges became public and his whereabouts are unknown. At about the same time Lichtenberg attempted suicide and came near being successful. RECRUITS JFOR CUBA. Emissaries From the Rebels Said to Be at Work in the South. NEW ORLEANS, La., May 12. — A special to the Picayune from Montgomery, Ala., says: A prominent railroad official said to night he had positive information that the Cuban rebels had emissaries all over the South working up recruits for the rebel army. One representative was in the neighborhood of Montgomery and, he was informed, had arranged to take about 100 men from hereabouts. They leave osten sibly as farm laborers, and would be put through to Cuba on small vessels from minor ports along the Florida coast. The official says these agents are operating in the backwoods districts, and stealthily avoid the towns. The official promises to vouchsafe more information on the sub ject later. ______________ RACING TRAIN WRECKED Fast Freight on the Erie Ditched by a Broken Wheel. One Car Filled With Race Horses. Three Grooms Lose Their Lives. HORNELLSVILLE, N. V., May 12.— One of the worst wrecks that were ever known here took place on the western division of the Erie, three miles west of here, at an early hour this morning. Fast freight 92 was thrown in the ditch by a broken wheel and ten cars were piled up in a confused mass. One of the care that were in the wreck was from Mercer, Pa., and contained horses that were being taken East to enter the races. There were eighteen horses in this car that were attended by their grooms. Three men were killed in the wreck, and all of these were grooms. There names are unknown. Foster, one of the managers of the car of horses, had several ribs, both arms and a leg broken. It is thought that besides this he has sus tained internal injuries. The physicians say that he cannot live. The debris of the wreck is piled on the track so as to block all trains from Corning to Buffalo. Following is the list of the killed and injured : Killed: S. M. Stewart of Mercer, Pa., owner oi sixteen horses. Robert Plater, Mercer, Pa., well-known horse-buyer. Unknown negro groom. Injured : L. P. Foster, Sandy Lake, Pa., owner of two horses. Patrick Shannelly, brakeman. There were eleven horses killed. Their names cannot be learned, as Foster is in sensible and their names are not on the waybills. Instead of ten cars there were thirty on the train. MINNESOTA TROOPS OUT Trouble Anticipated by the Operators of the Frank lin Mine. Military Companies at Duluth Await ing Orders From the Adju tant-General. DULUTH, Mijw., May 12.— Duluth is in battle array to-night, nearly all of the various military companies being at the armory waiting to see what will be the outcome of the disturbance at the Frank lin mine at Virginia, where the employes went on a strike for an advance in wages. Adjutant-General Mahlberg arrived in the city to-night and went to the hotel, where he met Sheriff Buchart and repre sentatives of the mining company. The adjutant-general was not disposed to favor the sending of troops to the scene of dis turbance, as ne did not consider there was any real clanger, but the mining com pany's officials asserted that unless a show of arms was made the strikers, who are mainly Finlanders, Poles and Hungarians, would become demonstrative and interfere more seriously than they yet have. At 12 o'clock Adjutant-General Mahl berg declined to send the troops, but the militiamen are still held under arms. Xational Strike Favored. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 12.-Calls were issued by the Miners' officials to-day for the delegate convention on Wednesday and for a meeting of the executive board on Tuesday to act on National President Perm's letter. The sentiment here is over whelmingly in favot of a National strike. Will Accept the Cut. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 12.— The em ployes of the Riverside Ironworks at Ben wood, W.

ALL SONOMA AIDING Success of the Fete at Healdsburg- Is Assured. PROGRAMME OF SPORTS. Some Novel Athletic Features Arranged for the Carnival. QUEEN EMMA'S CORONATION. The Pretty Ceremony Will Open the Three Days' Festivities on Thursday Morning. HEALDSBURG, Cal., May 12.— The Healdsburg floral festival, baby show and riding tournament will be a success ! If any doubt was entertained as to this, it has been swept away in the past few days by the enthusiasm that is being shown on all sides. It will not be a Healdsburg show. It will be a Sonoma County flower festival, held in Healdsburg, one of the most solidly prosperous towns]in the interior. On Thursday morning the fiesta will formally open with the crowning of the queen at 11 o'clock. The ceremony attend ing the coronation will occupy about an hour's time. At 2p. m. the first of the con tests will be commenced— a 400-yard bicycle race, open to local riders only. Two elegant prizes will be awarded first and second men. Other events will be: A half mile bicycle race for local riders; a half mile bicycle race, free for all, in which many of the fastest riders in Sonoma and adjoining counties have entered ; a 100 --yard footrace for a substantial prize, and an 80-yard sash. Perhaps one of the most exciting con tests of the afternoon will be a mile foot race, in which several speedy sprinters will try for the valuable prize offered the win ner. A hurdle race of 100 yards, a 50-yard barrel race, and an 80-yard race for fat men will conclude the day's outdoor sports. In all the contests the amusement committee has first and second prizes worth com peting for. In the evening at the Pavilion a rare lit erary and musical programme will be ren dered. On Friday morning the big parade will take place, starting at 11 o'clock. Grand Marshal Norton and hia aids will have their hands fnll arranging the details, but the pageant will move on schedule time. At 2 r. m. the Knighthood tournament begins. Ten of Sonoma's most skillful horsemen will enter the contest and the tournament promises to be the feature in the amusement line. The course will be on Center street, and every precaution is being taken to inclose it in such a way as to insure the safety of the spectators. A pony race, in which eight of Captain Char ley's Solyano Indians will ride, will fol low, and then a tug-of-war between teams of the married and single men of Sonoma County will take place. The day's festivities will close at the opera-house with a concert, in which the Midwinter Quintette of San Francisco, Mrs. Anit^ de Fitch Grant and other local talent will participate. The last day's fete will fittingly end the festival. After the rush of horses in the tournament, the dainty ceremony of crowning the queen, the whirr of the bi cycles, the crash of pianos and the sounds of voices singing night and day, will come the battle of flowers. This will be held on Saturday forenoon with 200 children as contestants. In the afternoon the baseball enthusiasts will have a chance to gratify their desire for the pabulum they love, for a match will be played between the local nine and the Santa Rosa club. The three days' fiesta will close at the theater Saturday night, when the "Good night Drill" by sixty little girls will con clude an evening's entertainment of music, recitations and tableaux. GOLDEN—^ -^HEDICAL^ > DISCOVERY. This invention of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Inva- lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. V., has, during the past thirty years, made a record in the cure of bronchial, throat and lung diseases that fairly entitles.it to out-rank all other advertised remedies for these affections. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing consumption of the lungs. Not every case, but we believe Fully 98 Per Cent. • of all cases of consumption, in all its earlier stages, are cured by Dr. Pierce* Golden : Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with co- pious expectoration and extreme ema- ciation and weakness. . Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by " Gold- en Medical Discovery" were genuine cases : of that dread and fatal disease? \ You need not take our word for it They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most ex- perienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in misrepresent- ing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical - Discovery," but who >: have been forced to confess that : it ' surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod- liver oil and its filthy "emulsions " and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit a little : for a short time. Extract *of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophosphites had also been faithfully . tried :in - vain. ; The photo- graphs of a large number of those cured • of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, - chronic nasal ". catarrh ; and kindred maladies, have been skill- fully, reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured ' and . learn their experience. Address for the Book, Dr. 8. V, Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. , ;
