8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1895. PLATFORM OF THE MINERS OF CALIORNIA, Congressional Aid Is Solicited for Hydraul- icking Dams. MINERAL LAND CLAIMS. Measures Suggested for the Settlement of the Con- troversy. LIST OF THE NEW OFFICERS. Thomas of Nevada Makes an Elo- quent Plea for Sonntag.: Committee Reports. It was nearer 11 o’clock than 10 when Chairman Neff called the California Miners’ Association to order yesterday collection of dues and for the maintenance of said branch associations. The only important change in the by- laws is as follows: Any county organization delinquent at the time of the annual meeting on account of any assessments levied prior o ninoty days pre- ceding such date shall only be entitled to rep- resentation for members in good standing. At this point the noon recess was taken, and when the convention resumed its session, about 1:30 ». M., Chairman A. H. Ricketts of the committee on protection of mineral lands presented his report, which was duly adopted. Its most important features follow : The first step taken by your committee in pursuance of its appointment and the author- ity vested in it by this association was an at tempt_to prevail upon COngress to Pass an ac containing provisions essentially similar to the bill then pending before it regarding the ing. I was only one of those urged by Mr. Neff to continue with the work. At his personal so- licitation, and against my will, I promised him 1 would again become a candidate for the sec- retaryship. The only reasons why I did this Were to please him, and because 1 knew as you all do that no other man wounld make so good a president as he, and he would not serve un- less we would also. 1t was only yesterday that Mr. Neff absolved me from my obligations to him and left me free toact as 1 desired, I have this to say, how- ever, that hile Ishall be no longer an officer. my active interest in the affairs of the Miners sociation will by no means cease, and I shall deavor in every way as faras I can to as- sist it. This was the first note of anything that approached discord in_the convention, except for an intimation of a similar strain in the speech of the gentleman who nominated Runckel. What was the most eloquent speech made on_the floor of the convention fol- examination and classification of the mineral | lands lying within the limits of the grant to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in the States of Idaho and Montana. This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman Caminetti. It being found im- possible to successfully prosecute this matter 1o & conclusion at that session of Congress it finally determined before the close thereof to | introduce a bill to add u new section to what is now known as the Idaho-Montana act, mnki‘n g &1l the provisions of that act applicable as far as possible to the State of California. This bill also failed of passage. This committee, finding that all efforts to secure Congressional action touching the pres- ervation of the mineral lands of this State were ;| lowed. It was delivered by W. R. Thomas of Nevada in seconding the nomination of Sonntag and did much to dispel the shadow that had fallen on the general bharmony. He made reference to the bitter fight that had taken place in the legislative halls at Sacramento between the hydraulickers and the valley farmers, describing modestly the prominent part he bad taken in securing a victory for the miners, and alleging that it was largely due to this victory that the miners and farmers were eventually brought together, to thenceforth work in harmony. He then alluded to the sterling qualities of his candidate, saying: I withdrew my name for this office in order that I mighthelp to electa gentleman whom I know and you all know to be most peculiarly qualified to fill it. He has been our treasurer and has not only taken most excellent care of our funds, but has been most energetic in Nies Seq RLES JuoGE Wnumq 7z R&¢ W WT{ONTAGUE « g TREASURER ) & AT 5 7:\,", SECTrlrEnSonnTaG FResJiH-NEFF SEETCHES AT YESTERDAY’S MEETING OF THE MINERS’ CONVENTION. morning, the delay being caused by wait- ing for the members of the committee on resolution, who were in session in an ante- room. The meeting was finally called to order without their presence. W. C. Ralston opened the proceedings by reading the report of the executive committee, which stated that its labors were mostly confined to the raising of funds. 1t then adds: This committee found it necessary to send a | representative to Washington to place the question of the railroadsand the mineral lands before the President of the United States and the Secretary of the Interior. The services of this representative were given without remun- eration; only his expenses were paid. To the press of San Francisco and a few | interior journals we are indebted for valuable assistance, and hereby extend them our thanks. | Chairman Tirey L. Ford of the commit- tee on legislation then read the report of his committee, in which the following oc- curs: Since the appointment of your committee there has been one short session of Congress, namely, from December to March last, and onz session of our State Legislature. Your committee draited two bills for intro- duction in Congress; but, owing to &n entire lack of funds and to the shortness of the Con- gressional session, vour committee was wholly unable to secure any legislation at the hands of Congress during its last brief session. With our State Legislature your committee were more fortunate. TWwo measures were drafted and presented to the Legislature, both of which successfully passed both houses of the Legislature, and one of which met with executive approval and thus became a law. This latter measure, now a law, provides that when an injunction is granted Pprior to the trial of a causeit shall not con- tinue in force longer than one vear unless the arties consent thereto or the case is set down or trial. The other measure above referred to | provided for appeals from judgmentsand or- ders for contempt. This measure, however, met with an executive veto and thus failed to become & law. Your committee is of opinion that but little more can be done by ourState Legislature than has been done, and_that the mining industry must look to the National Congress for ulti- mate relief. In conclusion, your committee bef leave to | suggest that, as Congress meets 1n December next, it is of the utmost importance that there should be no delay in the needed preparations for the presentation of our case to that honora- ble body. Our delay has already cost usmuch &nd reudered more aifficult the work in hand, ana if we permit the approaching session of Congress to run its course without having taken some action looking to the relief herein suggested, the cause for which this association has so earnestly labored will have been seri- ously retarded. Letters of regret at their inability to be present were read from Stephen M. White, Governor Budd and Martin Kellogg of the University of California. Chairman Neff then stated that Con- gressman Barham had expected to be present and address the convention, but was called home by urgent legal business. The chairman then informed the conven- tion that Congressman Barham had prom- ised to do ali in nis power in Congress to further the interests of the mining industry of the State. After some emendation, thereport of the committee on constitution and by-laws as presented by Chairman Carrigan of that committee was adopted. The salient fea- tures of the amended constitution follow: The annual membersnip dues for all branches of this association shall be as follows, viz.: Mercantile houses and manufacturing concerns of San Franeisco shall pay $50 per annum mining companies shall pay $25 per annum all individuals or associations in counties abutting on San Francisco Bay, $5 per annum; in all other counties of the State mercantile houses, manufacturing concerns and minin compauies shall pay $25 per annum, end ol other members $1 per annum. All dues must be coliccted by the county branches and 75 per cent of same paid to the secretary of the California Miners’ Association. The remaining 25 per cent shall be retained by the county branches to pay for the cost of | name be used unless those whose loy: unavailing, made preparation to file protests against all railroad lists of selections, as they would from time to time appear in the several newspapers of the State under the provisions of the rulesand regulations of the Department of the Interior, dated July 9, 1894. In conse- quence of the vague and indefinite form of the adyertisement which appear in that regard, it is impossible to gather theretrom & knowledge | of the exact number of acres involved in the protests which nave been filed in behalf of, and as the work of this association, by Messrs. Edward H. Benjamin and William C. Ralston, but this committee has positive knowledge that at least six hundred thousand acresare in- volved, and itis believed that the aggregate acreage will amount to somewhere in the neighborhood of one million acres. Protests involving nearly 600,000 acres filed | Wi in the name of Benjamin have been dismissed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office on the grouna that the character of each forty-acre subdivision included therein was not specially show orders of dism the Secretary of the Interior, allowed, and are Dow pending before him, all briefs on both sides being now in. It is perhaps proper in this connection to state that the chairman of this committee was appointed by the executive committee in the latter part of March, 1895, to proceed to Wash- ington and take such steps as_he might see fit, either in the Department of the Interior or before the President of the United States, touching these matters. The matter was finally laid before the Presi- dent of the United States directly, both by oral and printed argument. At that time the Presi- dentof the United states personally assured your said representative that he would take Que action in the matter, and to that promise may be attributed the present status of what are commonly called the “Benjamin appeals,’” it having been heretofore contrary to the prac- tice of the Department of the Interior to grant appeals to a protestant, particularly from un order denying & hearing such as made in those cases. Since the 20th day of August, 1893, there have been certain negotiations pending be- tween this committee and W. H. Mills, land agent of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, touching an amicable adjustment of the ques- tions which have arisen between this associa- tion and the land grant aided railroads in this State, in the matter of the examination and | classification of the lands lying within the limits of their respective grants. There is nothing to restrict either side to the proposed agreement from applying to Congress for ap- propriate legislation in the matter. These negotiations are still in progress. Then followed the election of officers for the ensuing year. The re-election of Pres- ident Neff and Vice-President Thornton were foregone conclusions. They were the only nominees, and each step, from their nominations to their brief speeches of ac- ceptance, was marked by enthusiastic outbreaks of applause. Both gentlemen have held their respective positions since the organization of the association, four years ago. Great interest, however, attached to the election of secretary. Early in the contest, which was in progress some time before the convention met, there were three can- didates in the field, W. C. Ralston, the in- cumbent; Julian Sonntag and W. R. Thomas of Nevada. Thomas formally withdrew in favor of Sonntag before the convention came together, and Ralston announced that he would not be a candi- date. But Ralston’s attitude did not pre- vent his nomination by Chris Rumkel of Placer in a stirring and impressive speech, ihe effect of which was lost, however, by Ralston formally withdrawing his name, assigning as a reason the need of more time to devote to his private affairs. He then explained that the only reason he allowed his name to be used atall was that Mr. Neff positively refused to let his ity to the association and the miners’ cause had been proved to his satisfaction would con- tinue to serve with him. He then added: There were rumors that the railroad com- panies intended to capture this association, if possible; and a certain opposition 10 the course of the association was developed even among the members of the executive committee itsell, mainly, however, from a few who never attend its meetings or pay the slightest personal at- tention to its proceedings, except when they may serve some purpose of their own by so do- | . Nominations were then closed and Sonn- taz was elected by acclamation. W. W. Montague was similarly elected | treasurer, when Chairman Clarken of the | committee on resolutions read the report | of his committee, which met with prompt | approval and was adopted. It is as fol- lows: WHEREAS, The injustice done to a great | brench of the mining industry of this State by | which thousands of people were ruined and | millions of dollars’ worth of property de- stroyed, still continues to exist, in_spite of every effort made 1o bring them relief without injurv to others; therefore be it Resolved, That we believe that as it was through one bianch of the Federal Govern- ment that the hydraulic mining industry was prostrated and destroyed, so must it be through another branch of thatgdvernment that relief must speedily come. . Appeals from these | 1 were taken in ane time to | seeing that we have a fund to take care of. He not only contributed liberally to the funds of this association himself, but maae personal exertions in co-operation with other merchants of this City to secure money for us. He has proven ~himself energetic, courageons and faithful in connection with’ the Miners' Asso- ciation. I take great pleasure in seconding the nomination of Julian Sonntag. quest our Senators and Representatives in Con- gress to use every effort tosecuré an appropria- tion, so that aided by the appropriation made by the State of California for the building of | dams, 8s recommended by the Congressional Commission, this great industry may be ré- vived without injury to the navigable streams of the State or to the farming lands adjacent. Resolved, That we indorse the action of the California Debris Commission, believing that it is fair and impartial; and we also urge upon our Senators and Representatives to secure such an appropriation as will be necessary to carry out its work. Resolved, That we heartily indorse the efforts of this_association’s committee for the protec. | tion of Mineral Lands to maiutain free and | open for exploration and purchese by the prospector and iminer, the mineral lands of the State of California, and that a committee of like character be appointed by the oresident of this association to continue the prosecution of the same work until Congress shall have passed some law for the classification of the railroad grant lands in this State, and that the work of gaid committee shall apply to all the railroad land grants within the State of Cali- fornia. Resolved, That & committee on legislation be appointed, and, when appointed, be instructed to use all honorable means at its disposal to secure such Congressional legislation as will provide a just and speedy settlement of the so-called mineral lands controversy now pend. ing between this association and ihe railroad companies having Congressional land grants within this State. Resolved, That in contests between mineral and non-minerel claimants of land it is the sense of this covvention that jurisdiction should be conferred on the local courts by Con- gress to determine the character of the land in coutroversy. Resolved, That the thanks of this convention be extended to the press of San krencisco and this State for their earnest co-operation in making this convention a success. Resolved, That the miners of Celifornia grate- fuily acknowledge the valuable assistance ren- dered to this association by the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce nngmher organizations of San Francisco tor their strong liberal and financiel support, which has largely advanced the mining industry of Californis Resolved, That all committees of the Cali- fornie Miners’ Association report to the execu- tive committee thereof all propesed action of said committees before finally acting thereon, unless otherwise authorized by the general convention, and that no act of any subordi- nate committee shall be considered as the action of the California Miners’ Aseociation until approved or authorized by the executive committee thereof. Resolved, That until the next meeting of this association the executive committee shall have plenary powers to originate and decide upon all matters pertaining to the affairs of this association mnot in conflict with the express direction of the association in convention as- sembled. Resolved, That this convention calls upon the various mining counties of the State to sustain a watchfulness over the investigations before the district land offices of their respective sec- tions, and.that they be requested to take such steps as shall prevent the railroad companies irom procuring patents to mineral lands. Resolved, That the thanks of this convention Resolved. That this association urge and re- be extended to the legislative and mineral Jand committees for their faithful performance of an arduous duty, and which needs such & continuance of the same intelligent activity to accomplish the end for which the miner is contending—the preservation of the mineral lands for the miner, Ldward H. Benjamin, delegate to the Tmns—Mississippi Congress, submitted his reports, calling attention to the indorse- ment by the congress of the measure de- sired for the settlement of the mineral-land controversy with the land-grant railroads. A resolution of tnanks was then extended to the retiring secretary, and after the adoption of a motion by Cole of Sierra that each county association be assessed for each vote it had in the convention, in order to defray the expenses of the session, ad- journment was taken until 10 A. M. to-day, when the chairman will appoint the new executive committee, whiclk, under the amended constitution, is to consist of fif- teen delegates at large and two from each county association. WIFE-BEATERS IN COURT. Aggravated Cases Before Judges Conlan and Campbell. Charles Kracker, an old man, was yes- teraay held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Conlan in $5000 bonds for beating his wife. The couple have been separated for two years and Mrs. Kracker has been living at 523 Minna street. On September 29 he went to the Minna-street house and beat her over the head with a hammer till she was unconscious. He had beaten her on many previous oc- casions. _Thomas Foley, a carpenter at Ocean View, was held in $3000 bonds to keep the peace toward his wife by Judge Campbell yesterday. It wasshown by the testimony that Mrs. Foley is a hard-working woman and Foley was in the habit of beating her if she did not give up her earnings so he could spend them in drink. Last week he threatened to kill her with a hatchet, and would probably have carried out_his threat if it had not been for John Des- mond, a neighbor, who took the hatchet from him and blackened his eyes. Unless Foley gets bonds he will spend six months 1n jail. BLINDED BY MOLTEN [RON The Startling Result of a Stu- dent’s Course at the Poly- technic School. Frank Wyckoff’s Misfortune—He Goes East To-Morrow to Con- sult Speciallsts. One of the strangest cases of injury to the eyesight that has ever been brought to the attention of the specialists of San Francisco has been puzzling them forsome time past. The sufferer is Frank Wyckoff, a student at the State University, who resides with his parents at Berkeley. For over a year past the young man has been troubled with defective vision, being unable to focus his eyes upon objects, ex- cept at a certain distance. The most prominent opticians in San Francisco have been consulted, but so far they have been unable to afford the student any relief. Mr. Wyckoff has concluded to seek the advice of the most eminent spe- cialists in America. He leaves for New York to-morrow, where he will place him- self under the care of the most distin- guished opticians of that city. The local experts. have agreed that Wyckoff is afflicted with what is known as water on the eye, but just as to what caused the collection they are not posi- tively decided. Water on the eye 1s of it- self a rare and unusual trouble. It has manifested itself in Wyckoff’s case in the formation of two tiny particles of wateron the organs that bring objects into their right focus. So delicate is the mechanism of the eye that the weight of the two globules of water is sufficient to retard the free action of the organs. Except at a cer- tain distance everything is blurred and in- distinct. Print can only be read at a fixed distance from the eye. Persons at a few feet distant are readily recognized, but be- yond a certain limit they are undistin- guishable. ; As to the nature and cause of the ac- cumulation of the two drops, the opticians advance a surqnsing theory. Some two years ago Mr. Wyckoff atiended the Cogs- well Polytechnic School of this City and took a course in the mechanical de- partment. The course includes instruc- tion at the forge, and it was in bending over the hot iron that the trouble is thought to have originated. The opticians assert that the intensity of the blinding glare, combined with the peculiar heat that molten iron pives out, conduces to draw moisture to the eves. This exposure of the eyes, if allowed to continue, will result in the moisture being permanently lodged on them. The dazzling heat from the iron causes the eyes to alternately con- tract and expand, and it ison the organ that has the power of this action that the drops of water gather; Mr. Wyckoff states' that he remembers being troubled with a burning sensation about the eyes while attending the Poly- technic School. He has obtained a leave of absence from the faculty of the univer- sity for an indefinite period. Wyckoff has also been selected as a delegate to the grand conclave of the Delta Evsilon Fraternity, which meets next week at the De Pauw University in Illinois. The order is one of the three largest ones in the United States and, as a member of the Alpha Omega chapter, recently organized in the university, he will be the first one to represent the institutionin the National councils. THE LUK WILL CONTEST Executors Bishop and Lewis Again in Charge of the Estate. They Had Flled an Inventory In July, Though the Helrs Did Not Know It. Executors Thomas B. Bishop and Azro N. Lewis are again in control of the big estate of Mrs. Miranda W. Lux. On Monday they were temporarily sus- pended pending a hearing on allegations made by Edwin G. Rodolph, a legatee under the will, and were ordered to show cause on November 8 why they should not be permanently removed. Yesterday, though, it was shown that the facts in the case had been incorrectly stated to the court. Judge Coffey there- upon revoked the order of suspension, though the citation to appear on November 8 for a hearing still stands. Mr. Rodolph, in hispetition to the court said: “More than one year has elapsed since the appointment of said Thomas B. Bishop and Azro N. Lewis as executors of suid will; said executors have wholly neg- lected and refused to makeand return a true or any inventory and appraisement of said estate to this honoruble court, and said Thomas B. Bishop and Azro N. Lewis have long neglected and refused to ff)erfonn their duties as such executors,” and on that dec- Jaration he asked for the removal of the executors. Judge Coffey ordered a temporary sus- pension as already stated, but yesterday the attorneys for the executors showed that the inventory and appraisement had been filed last July. Owing to some form- ality the document had not been registered 8;“'1; §0 the heirs did not become aware of it. THE GREAT MOTHER LODE. C. M. Ward of Grub Gulch, Madera County, Talks of That Formation. ADVICE TO PROSPECTORS. Suggestions in Regard to Searching for a Gold Chute in a Mountain. Cnharles M. Ward, of Grub Gulch, Ma- dera County, is one of the delegates at- tending the State Miners’ Convention. Mr. Ward is an enthusiast in regard to the great mother lode of California that has been so completely described and mapped by THE CALL that the attention of invest- ors all over the world has been drawn to California’s gold-producing possibilities. Mr. Ward is a practical prospector, who has devoted over twenty years to that par- ticular lode and its formations and was among the first to claim the existence of such a lode. In an interview yesterday Mr. Ward said: On June 15, 1890, I drew a sketch which was published in' & San Francisco paper to show that the great mother lode extended further south than Mariposa County. I found after nearly five years’ tracing of formations that at a_point about two miles south of the town of Mariposa the mother lode and its formations were split up and scat- tered into thousands of strata and veins, wind- ing their way through a broken and mixed formation, caused by a cross-belt passing a Jittle quartering from Hornitos toward Mount ymond nearly due east. In this crossing, which isin the neighborhood of sixteen miles wide, I found bunches of ore that had changed in character, and the gold was generally in the form of what is known as wire gold and of poor quality, and also 1 found native silver. n my opinion the silver has worked its way down the cross formetion in the form of chlo- ride through the watercourses and made its deposits at the point where the two formations mingled in (‘rosafmfi and that it worked its way irom the silver belt above, which passes along on the west side of the summit of the Sierra range at Mount Raymond, Now, this mother lode and its belt is scat- tered here for a distance of sixteen miles, com- mencing two miles southeast of the town of Mariposa and extending to & quarter of & mile southeast of the Chowchilla River. At the last mentioned point the straight original mother lode slates and formations appear, in place and well defined, but of & lighter color than that of the slates north. I have found no greenstone, only stains of it, until adepth ot 250 feet is reached. At this point it makes its appearance. Sometimes its stains show in seams of the formation on the surface near the town of Grub Gulch and two miles southeast of the town also. Now, what I wish to say is this: After this lode is scattered into so many veins through this sixteen miles of country they must natur- ally drop back to their place and form against the great strong reef of slate that 1s the head- ing or hanging wall of the mother lode, and there form a great junction of many thousands of veins and ledges coming back to place and building great mammoth bodies of ore deep down i the earth against the reef, where ail feeders and ledges commence to dip into and intersect the mother lode in place through the cleavage of the formation, generally com- ing from the west side of the lode. The croppings of the mother lode change in the character of ore as they lpnss through dif- ferent sections of country. In places the crop- pings show to be inviting to the miner or pros- pector, being of a nice lively ribbon ore, show- ing the slate cleavage running through the ore with & light trace of arsenical sulphurets. This is seldom the case, but if so there is likely to be good pay ore at & inuch less depth than is generally expected. My idea of this is that the water level isclose by, or has been at the time of the forming period, and that the feeders are close by in those cases. In other localities the croppings of the lode show to be a blocky, coarse-grained quartz, and very spongy. Throw a piece of it ina backet of water and it will be soaked through in a short time. It Jooks dead and dry and shows very little sulphurets. If any, they lie in bunches. If there is gold, it lies the same way in streaks or spots and in narrow chutes. On'those croppings great depth is required, as the ore is dead and the feeders are a long way off and below water level. On other croppings the lode shows streaks of ore and micaceous slate. This generally pros- pects reguiarly. The gold is usually light in weight, but in'depth the ore hardens; then the gold is heavy and good. The mother lode is a regular gold lode, for in de‘-th the gold retains its value and fiieness, and it is the only lode that continues to grow gradually richer below water level. My idea is ore that will show $2 or $3 per ton on the croppings of the mother lode will show a rich mine at a depth of 800 or 1000 feet. Too much praise cannot be said in favor of the mother lode, for in time it will prove to be clear beyond all'expectations of its value at the present day, and will be many links added to the golden chain. To the prospectors who are in the field I will mention a few points on prospecting. First—Be sure you areon the mocher lode belt; then keep to the west side of the strongest and largest slate belt, which sometimes is num{ biack and of fine texture, while in other locai- ities it is of a grayish color and moreof a coarse grain. In some localities the slate is broken up or hidden under the ground. Then again it makes bends and is inclined to be wavy. On the west side are the porphyry dikes, serpentine and yarious kinds of forma- tions. Asa general thing the green stains or greenstone are foind near the lode. Second—Keep close run of the grade of gold in the gulches and rivers at about the point where the lode crosses them. The mother Jode gold will run in value about $17 to $18 per ounce and is fine if direct from the crop- pings of the lode, but in its feeders the gold 1s sometimes coarse and pockety, though also of good quality. Then to find & gold chute: If the mountain is very steep ana rugged take your pan of dirt from the little benches on the very surface not to exceed four iuches in depth. Remember that as gold works down a steep hillside from aledge it naturally works oat to the surface instead of going o bedrock. Follow up the gold to where it begins to go down, then make a wide cut and you will nearly always be re- warded by finding a new and entirely blind ledge. Butif the ground is flat and the soil is deep go about half to the bedrock and fol- low the gold by meansof cuts. Always find how wide the run of gold is by panning around the hillside, and then follow the center of the run 10 the ledge or lode. On the crossings of ledges or points where Jedges strike dikes or reefs are favorable places to look for gold. Furthermore, there are many junctionsof ledges and i <sure ledges that make splendid mines in the vicinity of the mother lode. The panning system I adopted fourteen years ago in Tuolumne County. It works splendidly to find out the lengthof a ay chuts by panning below tire croppings of a edge. It will tell you every time sure, and there will be no mistaxe. The mother lode carries very little galena sulphurets, and it is well that this is true, for if it did the gold would not retain its value in the deep mining thatis to be done on this won- derful old lode. Mr, Ward explained that there are other points required for the success of prospect- ors, but that these may be picked up more quickly by operators in the field than by verbal explanations.

MARIANI & CO., PNt GV L6, New Tk l | MUNYON His Wond_e—rful Gures Win the Public’s Confidence. 61,270 Vials of His Remedies Sold hy Druggists During the Past Fifteen Days. A Talk About Coughs and Colds. CAUTION TU—THE PUBLIC. The Munyon H. H. R. Company do not guarantee the genuineness of reme- dies purporting to be theirs sold at less than regular prices. Beware of SUBSTITUTERS, CALUMNIATORS and FRAUDS. Professor Munyon’s representative was seen at the hotel last evening, and, in the course of conversation, remarked: The weather has been severe during the past two days and thousands of J)eople in this city are prostrated with colds. Many of them, no doubt, will think— “only a cold!” Truly, a little thing to make a fuss about. But did you ever stop to consider that a cold is the beginning of most diseases? It is the starting point of pneumonia, rheumatism, neuralgia, ca- tarrh, kidney troubles and numerous other diseases. Speak of a cold and you should finish thus: Colds, catarrh, coughs, bronchitis, pneu- monia and consumption, many long periods of sickness could be J)re\mntod by prompt attention to a cold. Munyon’s Cold Cure is within reach of all; costs but 25 cents, and is guaranteed to break up any form of acold in a few hours, and will positively prevent pneumonia. A._congh, continued the professor’s representative, is a wise design of the Creator to warn us back from the grave. It shows you that the bronchial tubes are becoming diseased and that bronchitis is beginning. From bronchitis to consumption is but a step. We do not pretend that we can effect a cure where there are tubercleson the Jungs, or where the patient is in the last stages of consumption, but do emphaticaliy say that Munyon’s Cough Cure will reduce inflam- mation of the air tubes and check at once diseases of the lungs, acting marvelously as a soothing and healing balm upon the parts affected. Itisa positive cure for every form of cough where the lungs are not covered by tubercles. RHEUMATISM CURED. Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure is guaran- teed to cure rheumatism in any parc of the body. Acute or muscular rheimatism can be cured in from one to five days. It speedily cures shooting pains, atica, Jumbago and 21l rheumatic pains in the back, hips and loins. It seldem fails to give relief after one or t@o doses, and almost invariably cures befcre one bottle has been used. » STOMACH AND DYSPEPSIA CURE. Munyon’s Stomach and Dyspepsia Cure cures all forms of indigestion and stomach trouble such as rising of food, distress after eating, shortnessof breath, and ail ai- fections of the heart caused by indigestion, wind on the stomach, bad taste, offensive breath, loss of appetite, faintness or weak- ness of stomach, headache from indiges- tion, soreness of the stomach, coatea tongue, heartburn, shooting pains in the stomach, constipstion, dizziness, faintness and lack of energy. Munyon’s Nerve Cure cures all the symptoms of nervous exhaustion, such as depressed spirits, fallure of memory, rest- less and sleepless nights, pains in the head and dizziness. It cures general de- bility, stimulates and strengthens the nerves and tones up the whole body. Price, 25 cents. Munyon’s Kidney Cure cures painsin the back, loin or groins from kidney dis- ease, dropsy of the feet and limbs, frequent desire to pass water, dark colored and turbid urine, sediment in the urine and diabetes.
