VIOL LY INSANE. Force Necessary to Restrain an Aged Woman in a San Jose Jail. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 6.—Mrs. Mary McMuilin, an aged woman who is confined in the County Jail awaiting examination as to her sanity, became violently insane this morning. Mrs. McMullin was brought to tne jail about ten days ago from Gilroy, where she had been annoying her neighbors, as she imagined they were trying to steal her property. She had shown herself to be more enfeebled in mind than violently crazy, and deported herself properly ever since being confined until this morning, when she procured a pair of scissors from the jailer with which to shorten her dress. She instantly cut the garment into shreds, and it wa; eat effort that the scis- restrained with condition will now neces: y examina g TEOLRE e DANIEL MORGAN MISSING.

Brjfiges Paralyzed While Carrying Bullion on the Street. Charles T. Bridges, the well-known sec- retary of the Hobart Estate Company, was stricken: with paralysis on Mont- gomery street, near the Safe Deposit building, yesterday morning wkile on his way to the Selby Smelting Company’s office. He was carrying a sack of bullion on his shoulder when the stroke came upon him. Kind bands removed him to a near-by office in the Safe Deposit building, and word was at once sent to the Hobart Com- pany, 532 Market street. When an em- ploye of the company arrived Mr. Bridges was speechless, but he moved one of his hands feebly in the direction of the bag of bullion, which lay on the floor between his legs. The representative of the company comprehended, and while the stricken man was removed to his home at 1111 Golden Gate avenue the precious metal was taken back to the office. Much ex- citement was created, and the report went out that the old gentleman had been robbed. Mr. Bridges’ physicians, Doctors Elwood and Hansen, said he was resting as easy as_could be expected at a late hour last night. Mr. Bridges is about 65 years of age, and is well and favorably known in the local business world. TR A Disabled Fireman’s Suit. Frank Lawler, formerly a fireman in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company, has brought suit against that company for $25,000 for damages claimed to be due for injuries sustained while in the performance of Mon- his duties. teith. On’ November 3, 1893, man on the engine that car on the coast division, there was a col between his engine and the one engaged in switching at San_Jose, caused by the_aieged fsilure to properly opérate the fog-whistle at that point. Lawler sustained such injuries that he has ever since been incapacitated for physical labor. CLIMBED THE WATER-PIPE Winnie Stanton Nearly Scaled the Prison Walls at San Quentin. She Was Within a Few Moments of - Freedom When Guard Duffy = Saw Her. His attorney is George W. There was an exciting half hour in San Quentin last Thursday afternoon. Winnie Stanton, one of the female prisoners, made ing attempt at escape, and had it not u for the vigilance of Guard Duffy she d have succeeded. She scaled the wall that surrounds the woman’s quarters by means of the water pipe, and, in spite of a shot fired to scare her and guards rupning hither and thither looking for a ladder, would have risked the descent on the other side had not Guard Quigley run along the wall and grabbed ner. The poor creature was al- most in a state of collapse from her efforts and begged to go over the wall, as she only wanted to get among the grass and trees for an hour. Winnie Stanton is serving a five years’ sentence for throwing vitriol in the face of Charles Stenzel in July, 1893, When she Winnie Stanton, Who Nearly Scaled the Prison Walls of San Quentin. was found guilty she broke down, and when Judge Wallace sentenced her to the penitentiary she vowed she would never live to serve her time. The trouble arose over some money matters, and when Steuzel refused to pay her what she con- sidered her due she went to a drugstore and purchased the vitriol. As soon as Stenzel realized what had happened he hastened to a physician and had his wounds dressed. He was not very badly burned, but his clothes were ruined. ‘Winnie’s case was appealed to the Su- preme Court, but the judgment was affirmed, and in April, 1894, the prisoner was sent to San Quentin. Since that time she behaved herself very well, but about three weeks ago was taken sick, and at one time her life was despaired of. Her first appearance in the yard since her sickness was last Thursday. Then when she thought no one was looking she made for the water-pipe. The wall is over twenty-five feet high, and how the invalid in her state of health fever climbed to the top is a mystery to Captain Edgar and the guards. When she caught sight of Duffy she motioned to him to keep juiet, but instead he ordered her down. .When she kept on clambering and was almost on top of the wall he fired his gun as an alarm. It was then that Guard Quigley ran out and held her while Captains Eagar and Jamieson secured a ladder and carried her into a cell. As she was being removed Winnie said she would again attempt to escape and if she failed she would kill herself. The prison authorities think her mind is_un- balanced and will have her examined by the lunacy commissioners. While Miss Stanton has been in San Quentin John Lord Love, her attorney, has not been idle. He hasgotupa peti- tion to the Governor for her release and has securea the signatures of the jurors who found her guilty and, besides, a great number of prominent citizens to t. He expected to be successful and calculated that another month or o would see his client free. What effect her attempted escape will have on the matter remains to be seen. In the meantime she is in soli- tary confinement, awaiting the action of the Prison Directors. e Splitting Shackles Asunder By merely flexing the muscles of his arms s an easy task for Sandow, that superlatively strong man.

AFRICANS CENSURE JONES, His Charge Against Bishop Lee Repudiated by the Conference. - STRONG TEMPERANCE REPORT. Women’s Mite Missionary Society in Charge of Last Even- ing’s Meeting. The African Methodist Eviscopal Con- ference, assembled at Bethel A. M. E. Church, has charged its former presiding elder with telling “‘an unqualified lie.” This was an unusual proceedine by such a body and the circumstances whizh led to it were also unusual. The story as revealed by the discussion of the condemnatory resolution was that three years ago Rev. O. Summers, then pastor of Bethel Church, received a legacy of $5700 from a creole member of his congregation, who was a widow at the time of her death. A few of Mr. -Summers’ flock asserted that the amount was left in trust for the church and demanded that he should so use it. The case was in litigation for a time and re- sulted in a victery for the reverend gentle- E. T. Cottman as president, Mrs. Hettie Tilman vice-president, Irene Cornell secre- tary and Mrs. Annie Hubbard treasurer. HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. The Rev. E. J. Lion Inrugurates an Extended Series of Lectures on This Subject. The first of a long course of Friday eyen- ing lectures on the “History of the Church” was delivered at the Episcopal Church of the Advent on Tenth street last night by the Rev. E. J. Lion, rector of St. Stephen’s. On the remaining three Fri- days of this month he will discuss, under the general head of “The Apostolic Church,” the following subjects: “The Church and the Gentiles,” “The Church at Antioch” and “The Close of the Apostolic Age.”” The title of last night’s discourse was “The Church at Jerusalem,” and the speaker’s thought was an extended elab- oration of a comparison of the architecture of a cathedral to the organization of the chureh itself. All the interior and the visible effects of the cathedral were grand and inspiring, but deep down in the earth, where 1t is not seen, was the foundation- stone, all important to the stability of the superstructure. Jesus Christ was likened to the main foundat:on-stone, the Apostles to the foundations above, and_the great Catholic church to the grand and inspiring structure visible above the foundations. Speaking of the church at Jerusalem during the period from 33 to 41 A. D., the lecturer said that that little company of twelve Gulilean fishermen, with .})esns as their leader, comprised the first church society. It soon increased to 120 persons, apparently very ordinary, common people, OVERHAULED CHIVATOW, The Board of Health Found the Place in a Very Filthy Condition. WILL HAVE IT CLEANED UP. Reported to Be a Dangerous Spot In Case an Epidemic Visited the City. The members of the Board of Health in- spected Chinatown yesterday with a view to withstand any threatened epidemic. They found the same old Chinatown, with a few clean spotsalmost lost in the general uncleanliness, dirf, confusion, foul smells and dilapidation. After two hours’ ex- haustive work the visitors were of one opinion: “In case an epidemic visited us the placeonght to be torn down and carted away.” All the members of the board indus- triously climbed stairs and poked into all the rookeries so as to have a clear idea of what was needed to improve the sanitary conditions of the place. Sometimes Drs. Morse and Williamson were in the lead and sometimes Drs. Hart and Fitzgibbon. AT THE WOMAN’S MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEETING IN THE AFRO-AMERICAN CHUROH, [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] man and his friends. The disaffected per- | sons were dismissed from the church. | Bishop B. F. Lee took a hand in theaffair at that stage and appointed Rev. O. Sum- mers presiding elder of the California Con- ference. Rev. J. Harvey Jones, who was | the incumbent of that office at the time, | was angry because of the loss of such honors and emoluments as the office car- ried with it, and he it was who was cen- sured at the meeting yesterday. WHEREAS, J. }{nrve;‘ Jones is circulating the Teport in Texas that for & moneyed considera- tion Bishop B. ¥. Lee appointed O. Summers E;:e_xlxding elder of the California Conference; i Resolved, That we declare that the report is absolutely without foundation, and that it s’ an unqualified lie. So read the resolution, which was unani- mously adopted. = E Bishop Lee, in commenting upon it, said that instead of receiving money from Mr. Summers, he had practically received an intimation that he should transform him- self into a Fitzsimmons for protection; that all he had actually got out of it was hard feeling from Mr. Summers. He added that he dia not want any one tosup- port the resolution, or to refrain from vot- ing against it, if there was a shadow of doubt as to the4ruth of it. Rev. Mr. Sutmers said he had never of- fered Bishop Lee money for the honor con- ferred. On the contrary he had objected to_assuming it, and the only hint of a bribe he had heard was J. Harvey Jones’ | offer to himself to compromise the case, at that time in litigation, for $350. TFhe resolution which called forth these comments was submitted by a committee composed of J. E. Edwards, E. T. Cott- man and O. Summers. Rev. E. T. Cottman and Rev. J. Edwards were elected delegates to the general con- ference to be held in Wilmington, N. C., in May. Rev. D. R. Jones and Rev. J. Pointer were elected alternates. The cre- dentials of J. M. Bridzes of Fresno and W. B. Bridges of Oakland as aiternates and | John W. Jordan and G. 8. McCord as al- | ternate lay delegates to the general con- ference were approved. A report recommending that B. F. Mitchell be admitied to the conference was adopted. 8. S. Freeman and H. Wil- son were reported as having passed the third year studies and Samuel D. Johnson and W. R. Chapman the fourth year studies. Rev. Mr. Duncan of the Baptist church and Rev. Mr, Warren of Zion A. M. E. Cburch were introduced, and made short addresses. Rev. Robert H. Herring of the New England conference was introduced. The committee on rearrangement of work recommended the continuance of stations at San Francisco, Qakland, Sacra- mento, Los Angeles and San Diego. It further recommended : That the circuit including Red Bluff, Ander- son and Chico should be known as Red Bluff circuit; that Colusa should be detached from the Marysvilie circuit, and that a new circuit, consisting of Colusa, Willows and Woodland, be instituted; that Fresno be taken from the Bakersfield eireuit, and » circnit consisting of Fresno, Sanger, Madera and Fowler be organ- ized; that to Bakersficld in lieu of Fresno be added Hanford, Tulare and Visalia; that Ma- rysville circuit shall consist of Marysville and Orovyille; that Pasadena and Quarto be known as Pasadena circuit; that Redondo, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Orange, 8an Pedro, Mar- tinez, Benicia and Vallejo be continued as mis- sions, and that Woodiand Mission should in- clude Capay and Cacheville, while Riverside, Red Lawn and Pomona should be known as Riverstield circuit. A strong temperance report was unani- mously adopted. Last evening the Women’s Mite Mission- ary Society had charge of the meeting and presented the claims of the Sarah Gor- ham Mission av Freetown, Africa. Mrs. B. F. Lee, Mrs. W. B. Anderson of Stockton, Mrs. D. R. Jones of Los Angeles, Mrs. 8. 8. Freeman of Pasadena and Mrs. E. T. Cottman of this City occupied seats on the platform. Mrs. Lee, who, by virtue of being the wife of the Bishop of the tenth diocese, is president of all the mite societies within that jurisdiction, presided. Bishop Lee said the society was organ- ized in 1874, and contributes about $2000 annually to missions in _Africa. The Wemdem of the National society was Mrs. . D. Cook, the treasurer Mrs. Campbell, widow of Bishop Campbell. A day 18 given by the church each year, that has come to be known as ‘“woman’sday,” when the work of the Mite Society is considered and each minister, in the name of his wife orsome female relative, gave $1 toward the fund. He introduced Mrs. Lee, who, in a brief address, made a further explanation of the work of the society. There are fifteen societies and a membership of 570 in the State. Mrs. E. T. Hubbard read a paper on_the “Women’s Mite Missionary Society.”” Mrs. . T. Cottman followed with a reading of ‘A Plea for Africa.” An auxiliary Mite Society of members of Bethel Church was organized, with Mrs, among whom were the Virgin Mary and a few other women. They met usually in a large upper chamber, and were in constant apprehension because of the great fanati- cism of the time, which opposed every re- ligious demonstration that was not ac- cording to the existing custom. Suddenly the membership increased to 3000. From | that first little band of apparently insig- nificant Galileans came like a powerful undercurrent, unobserved by the public at that time, a great power, that overturned the Roman Empire and changed civilization. That early church had its bishops, riests and deacons, the lecturer said, and ts baptismal, confirmation and ordination rites such as are observed by the church to-day. He referred to the Acts of the Apostles in proof of his assertions. CONFIDENCE IN STANTON. His Friends in the Iroquois Club Defeat Heenan’s Resoclutions. A New Set Expressing Reserved Falith in the Commissioner’s Integrity. The Iroquois Club indorsed Dr. Stanton last night. At least, it expressed its confi- dence in him for the present. The Heenan resolutions condemning the Railroad Com- missioner, which were introduced last week, were referred to a committee. which reported last night. A majority reported the substitution of resolutions expressing the club’s confidence in Dr. Stanton and the minority favored the Heenan resolutions, There was an unusually large meeting of the club present, and the friends of Dr. Stanton were largely in the majority. As soon as the reports had been read, Max Popper moved that consideration be postponed for a week to give Dr. Stanton a chance to show what he would do. He was in favor of giving him a chance to show that he was worthy the confidence of his frieggis in the club who so stanchly stood im. But this was not at all satisfactory to the doctor’s friends, who insisted that he had been slandered by the publication of the Heenan resolutions and demanded that the majority resolutions be passed. A long and spirited debate started in and was kept up until midnight. It was participated in by M. M. Foote, E. P. E. Troy, Thomas Clunie, C. W. Reed and others. The resolutions offered by the majority of the committee were finally adooted, as follows: ‘WEEREAS, The regulation of the rates of transportation within this State by the exer- cise of the powers vested in the State Board of Railroad Commissioners is & matter of ;nm- mount importance to the people of the State, affecting as it does the prosperity of the ship- per and the vested property rights of the car- rier; and wheress, the lg'emocrlt(c Railroad Commissioner representing this district has been charged with subserv(unci to the cor- porations and with a betrayal of the tryst re- posed in him by the Demoeratic party, which elected him to the office; therefore Resolved, That Dr. Stanton, Railroad Commis- sioner from this district, will deserve confidence until he forfeits it by denying to the shipper redres: for any just grievance or withholding his voie from any measure designed to correct ascertained abuses. Resolved, That while this clubdemands at the hends of Dr. Stanton perfect official indepen- dence of the influence of corporations, it at the eame time demands loyalty and fealty to the great underlying principles of Democracy of equal rights and exact justice to all interests to be affected by all legisiation, all judicial de- termination, and all exercise of govermental power. Resolved, That this club demands at the hands of the Democratic members of the Rail- road Commission the establishment of rates of transportation which shall be just and reason- able, and in accordance with the laws govern- ing and set out in the constitution of the State ;rim‘ rin conformity to the pledge of the party atform. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, signed by the president and secretary, and attested by the seal of the club, be served upon Dr. Stanton, Railroad Commissioner from the Second District. — - Even With His Father-in-Law. George Pabst, an insolvent hardware-dealer, answered questions for his creditors in Judge Slack’s court yesterday. He bad stated that he owed §3000 o his {atherin-law, and when acked why he didn’t mention that when urchasing goods on credit he replied that he dn’t "? e he would have to pay. “Why didn’t you think Kimball would want the money?” was the uuomeg'l mext question. &1 was married to his daughter.” :x);:: had that to do wlt% the money you o “Well, when T t his hands I thought thal Settion 1ot #’l = Secretary Godchaux was everywhere get- ting notes of all he saw 80 as to be ready with data at the next meeting of the board. The party was piloted by Sergeant Owens, Several of the eight Chinese in- spectors in the pay of the Chinese Law and Order Committee went along to furnish what assistance they could. A call was first made at the Chinese con- sulate, where Consul-General Li Yun Yew assured the inspectors that he hsg been constantly trying to impress upon his people the necéssity of keeping their houses clean. He offered to do anything in his power to help the officials clean the gection. Then the party sterted through the mazes of Spofford alley, Church alley, Ross alley, Duncombe alley, Sullivan alley, Court alley, Bartlett alley, and the | sinks, stench holes, rookeries, traps and foul corners that lie in and around them. Some winding ways were so dark that can- dles hardly afforded light enough to safely grope along. In some places the dozen men trailed down flights of narrow, twist- ing stairs for two stories underground to tind darkness, filth, stench and miserably poor Chinese huddled in corners and wait- ing to die. In other places they climbed up narrow, twisting stairs, flicht after flight, to discover duck ranches, kitchens, bedrooms, decaying sides of beef, all mixed like a junkshop. Most of the sights were disgusting; some of them were nauseating. 1In the Chinese “Last Chance”’—sometimes called ‘Lep- rosy Hall’—a dark, noisome under- ground hole, a wretched being was found in a dreadful state. He said he had been lying there ten years. Several members of the party tossed him coins. It was the opinion of the board that all such cases shoulo be summarily taken to the hos- vitals. The market inspectors with the party found numbers of sides of beef in ad- vanced stages of decomposition. In one instance the carcasses of two pea-green sheep were hanging in a haliway leading off a butcher-shop. The carcasses were pitched into the street; so was a lot of other meat hanging on the hooks and of- iered for sale. . In nearly every instance the plumbi was simply rotten, and might just as wel not have been attached to a sewer. But the Chinese slept, ate, drank. and traded right' among all the filth, and ap- parently oblivious to it. Quacking ducks were found crowded under sleeping bunks, drying fish and beef littered the stiflin, little rooms, and the smoke blackened an darkened everything. The board will hotd a meeting next month to recommend what had best be done in the premises. It is understood that several places will be ordered closed. Others must be cleaned ‘up and disinfected at once. NO LONGER A PROFESSOR, Dr. Winslow Anderson Severs His Connection With the University. The Doctor’s Acts.Said to Be Not Pleasing to Some of the Faculty. H ' Dr. Winslow Anderson is no longer con- nected with the medical department of the University of California. - This simple announcement may be ancient history to the medical fraternity, but to the citizens at large he is’still thought of as an ad- junct to Dr. W. F. McNutt, professor of principles and practice of medicine. The severance of Dr. Anderson’s connec- tion with the university may be termed a voluntary act, though, according to that gentleman’s own statement, he simply grasped time by the forelock, thus saving himself the humiliation of being asked to resign. In addition to this, Dr. Ander- son’s name no longer appears on the pages of the Pacific Medical Journal, either as editor, associate or business manager; neither is it seen among the long list of collaborators which adorn the outside cover. The causes leading up to Dr. Anderson’s withdrawal from tge faculty date back several months, and were given some prominence in the public prints at the time, though no one thought of such a climax as has now been reached. Even the sticklers after the ethics of the profes- sion, and it was this question of ethics 1hat brought about the doctor’s withdrawal from the medical faculty, and the erasure of his name from the pages of the Pacific Medical Journal, hardly thought matters would axfilme such a serious turn when his alleged offenses first came to be considered. Several months ago Dr. Anderson ré- ceived a ‘etter from an Eastern gentleman, making inquiries about the climate of Cali- fornia in general, and San Francisco in particular. The correspondent also wished 1o know whether it were true that con- sumption could be cured here, by reason : of the excellent climatic conditions. Dr. Anderson, who was a member of the State Board of Health, replied in effect that consumption was not only curable, but that, in his travels in foreign lands, he had discovered a process, which, with the aid of the unsurpassed climate of San Fran- cisco, placed bim in a position to practi- cally guarantee the cure of any case, whether of long or short duration. This assertion of itself did not jar particularly beavily on the ethical nerves of the pro- fession, but when he so far forgot himself as to say such things ona sheet of lgape\' which bore the imprint of the State Board of Health, they said it was a little bit more than they could reasonably be expected to stand. The direct causes leading to Dr. Ander- son’s absence from the faculty are not ap- parent at the present time, though accord- ing to the eminent professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the medical department of tfie University of California, tney are ood and sufficient. Dr. Anderson, says this gentleman, was not asked to resign, but Dr. McNutt, who presented his name during his first and only term as adjunct grafessor, was given to understand that if e desired an assistant the name of some physician must be presented. Several weeks ago when the faculty held its annual meeting the name of Dr. Anderson was not presented by Dr. McNutt for the adjunct professorship, and up to this time no other name has been suggested. ““There is no truth whatever in the state- ment that I was asked by the faculty to resign,” said Dr. Anderson, yesterday. “The office is both elective and appointive, and I received my first appointment througb Dr. McNutt, though it was neces- sary, of course, for the faculty to ratify his selection. Just before the last election I learned there was some opposition to my reappointment—in fact, I was not wanted in the faculty. Knowing this, and not wishing to get up a fight between the members of the faculty, I told Dr. McNutt not to present my name. I am not pre- pared to say just why certain members of the faculty opposed my reappointment, but I suppose they had gond and sufficient reason, and if they are satisfied, I am. Now I do not care to discuss the matter any further, except to say that I am still connected with the Pacific Medical Jour- nal, though strictly in a business way.” CARL'S ORGAN RECITAL the Good Performance at First Congregational Church. A Male Sextet From Stockholm Sings at Metropolitan Temple. William C. Carl, an American organist of National reputation, gave a recital last night at the First Congregational Church, which was attended by a not very large, but a highly appreciative audience. Mr. Carl played a variety of selections, including a new composition composed ex- pressly for him by one of the great modern French organ composers, Alexander Guil- mont. In all bis work Carl showed a thorough command over the resources of his instrument, in the management of pedalsand stops. His execution was clean, smooth and finished and his expression was exceptionally beautiful, at times almost ethereal. Of course the capacities of the organ he was using must be taken into consideration. Judging from last night's recital, however, Mr. Carl aims less at grandiose and crashing effects than many of the well-known organists.. On the other hand his playing is full of variety of expression and of feeling. Among the works performed were sev- eral dedicated to Mr. Carl. There were also a fugue in D major by J. 8. Bach and a concerto in ) minor by Handel, as well as works by C. M. von Weber, Wagner, etc. Another recital will be given by Wil- liam Carl to-night. A decided hit was made at Metropolitan Temple last night by the Swedish male sextet of the Torbett Concert Company. Their singing of Swedish college songs was especially appreciated, and at every point where the singers of the sextet were called upon to appear they were re- demanded again and again. The same praise, unfortunately, cannot be given to the ladies of the company. Miss Ollie Torbett, a young violinist, plays with a certain brio, but her solos last night savored a good deal of a schoolgirl performing her graduating exercises. The pianiste, Miss Frida de Tersmeden, showed, by her rendering of a “‘Fantasie” by Liszt and Mattei’s ‘‘Valse de Concert,” that her playing lacks execu- tion, and is, besides, wanting in phrasing and accuracy.

The Board of Supervisors will meet this morning, for the first time since their sum- mer vacation. The most important busi- {ness will be the consideration of the tax levy for the next fiscal year. . Before vacation it was generally consid- ered on a levy of $1 54, which, added to the State levy, 68} cents, fixed by the Board of Equalization, would bring the total up to $2 2214, There is some talk among the members of raising this sum in order to meet the payment for an increased police force and fo pay the $210,000 due the City’s creditors. From mfigeutions already made it seems that the levy is likely to reach $2 25 on each $100. The board will also consider the recom- mendations made by the Merchants’ Asso- ciation, the immediate letting of the street-sweeping contract, the raising of a fund sufficient to meet the City’s back bills to merchants and the lighting of Mar- ket street by electricity.

Those who suffer know better, {o their in- finite sorrow. But no matter where the seat of pain seems particularly to be, it has been determined that it is altogether a constitutional disease. And it requires constitutional treatment. Hundredsupon hundreds of remedies have been tried for it, but there is only one that has stood the fierce light of scientific inquiry, and that is JOY'S Vegetable Sarsaparilia, but that bas proved beyond any doubt that it is a cer- tain cure for all kinds of rheumatism. DYSPEPSIA. This leads to allmanersof ills and isan ailment that shoulda be given immediate attention. If left neglected, it will be cer- tain to produce inflammation of the stom- ach, acute liver trouble, and often will assist nature to inflict injuries on the kidneys that are irremediable. As soon as you see the slightest sign of it apply the proper remedy at once. There is only one ‘‘proper’’ rem- edy, and that is the great Californian blood regulator, JOY’S Vegetable Sarsaparilla. That does its work unfailingly. LIVER AGAIN. The pains that you experience just below your ribs and the foul taste that you have in your mouth in the morning are not signs that you can afford to neglect. And when they are accompanied with a dull, heavy headache, then you may be sure that there is something wrong with the largest gland in your body, and that is your liver. Then don’t go and dose yourself with mercury, iodides or cathartics. Just take the only thing which is certainly known to cure Hver troubles without ever failing. That is JOY’S Vegetable Sarsaparilla. CONSTIPATION. The things that look smallest have often the greatest significance, and in no case is that more clearly shown than in that of the man who being habitually constipated takes no notice of it. The regularity of the action of the bowels must be as care~ fully watched as an engineer watches the pressure of steam on his boiler. A thou- sand times men escape contagious and other diseases because their system is kept in good order, and for that purpose many’ of the most healthy use JOY'S Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
