ORIENTAL MART FOR PACIFIC COAST PRODUCE Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Comes Westward to Encourage Its Development. TACOMA. July 16.—Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson arrived to-day and will spend some time on the Pacific Coast. His special mission is to encourage coast agriculturists to supply the home demand for their products and to push out as rapldly as possible for new markets in the Philippines and Hawal. He finds that Iowa is still shipping to the Northwestern States quantities of butter that should be produced here. He iIs anxlous that oppor- tunities for commerce with the Philip- pines and Orlental countries be speedily embraced. He says President McKinley desired that he make this trip and be- lieves with him that the rapid devel- opment of the Pacific Coast is the direct result of the nation’s new acquisitions in the Pacific. Secretnrfi’ Wilson says: ““The Pacific Coast has the greatest o portunity ever offered to any people. The Agricultural Degnrtmem is going to do everything possible to ald in buflding u Pacific Coast commerce.

Y., July 16.—Owing to a heavy rainstorm that con- tinued until about 10 o'clock this morning, rendering the roads very muddy, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Davis, the transcontinental | automobilists, did not leave Hudson for Albany until 1 o'clock. During last evening a machinist replaced with new | steel parts the defective brass petti- | cock and controller, the breaking of which at Red Hook Saturday seriously delayed progress. A thirty-mile-an- | hour gait was taken by the motor in | leaving town, and as the worst of the | roads have b ten passed a quick passage to Albany is expected. At Rossman’s, five miles north of the city, is a hill that no wheelman can ride, its average | grade being about forty degrees, but the motor climbed it with apparent ease. Large crowds of enthusiastic | spectators witnessed the departure of | Mr. and Mrs. Davis. ALBANY, July 16.—Bad roads ren- dered almost impassable by heavy rains and steep grades at almost every mile tested the power of the automobile to the utmost this afternoon. In spite of it all, however, and in spite ¢* an- wther slight accident, Mr. and Mrs. Davis reached Albany just before mid- night and were greeted by a delegation of newspaper men and bicyclists. “Qur trip from Hudson has been a trying one,” said Mr. Davis, “‘but the motor is now working smoothlv and is down to its bearings. We will make speed from no on if the roads are fairly good. We got our best speed of the trip to-day, taking into account the horrible condition in which we found the roads over which we had to trave', and if the way is as well prepared as | T am told there will be no further trouble. “We left Hudson this afternoon.” he continued, “for the purpose of getting into a territory where there 'are ample telephone and telegraph conveniences. It had been raining heavily all through the night, and we were warned to ex- pect hard traveling, and we got it. Just out of Hudson there is a two-mile stretch of clay road that was like glue. It clogged our wheels so that we had to stop frequently to scrape it off. Then we had to overcome slipping on grades, and we did that too. A party of wheel- men who escorted us, made bets that we could not climb Rossman Hill and | were the most surprised men in the { world to see the automobile mount it easily in spite of the mud. “Of course there was an accident, for troubles never come singly. . Just be- fore reaching Stuyvesant the nut con- trolling the exhaust valve in the rear cylinder, broke from the pin and got lost. Our mechanic, Mr. Fisher, made a new one out of a battery screw, but we lost fully three hours by this mis- hap.” “Talking about luck,” continued Mr. Davls, “Mrs. Davis firmly believes we are hoodooed by our starting on the 13th, and she actually got me to rub against a humpbacked man at the de- pot to break the spell. It seemed to work all right, for things have gone smoother ever since, no matter how much you may laugh about it. I want | to add while speaking of Mrs. Davis, | that she is standing the strain of the trip wonderfully well and will be over feeling tired when we get to going smoothly as we expect hereafter. “What do T think of New York State roads?

Reports have been in circulation for some time that members of the colonies are practicing polygamy contrary to the Mexican law. It is understood that an investigation has been ordered by the Mexican authorities.

From an Old School Phy sician as to Its Merits. There are many systems of medicine by which we attempt to heal the human body, and make it free of disease, ranging from the science of Allopathy down to that of Hydropathy. How far they have succeeded time has abundantly shown by the number of their failures, as well as by the number and nature of their cures. In the cure of pulmonary disease, Dr. Aborn has stepped out of the old beaten track, and adopted a system so simple, direct and natural as to recommend itselt to all who are suffering from catarrh and disease of the lungs, of a character defying cure by any of the old methods of treatment. Although from childhood 1 have been raised, and flso_went through a regular course and graduated as an Allopathist, yet a strict love of what is right and best, as well as PERSONAL BENEFIT RECEIVED BY THE NEW SYSTE as practiced by Dr. Ahorn, teaches me to bear some testimony to its merits for the benefit of suffer- ing humanity A.

SAN JOSE, November 23, 1863. 1 have been afflicted with severe nasal catarrh for two years. which a I3W menthy since extended to my throat, producing a distressing cough and serfously impairing my health generally. I have been under the treatment of Dr. Aborn for about three weeks, and have been already greatly relieved; my cough has almost disappeared, and my health greatly improved. By one application Dr. Aborn relieved me of a severe neuralgic pain, and with four applications it was entirely cured. 5. 0. HOUGHTON. . From Charles N. Fox, Esq. (Office of Campbell, Fox & Campbell, Attorneys and Counsellors at Law, No. California_St.) SAN FRANCISCO, February 19, 1870. Were it not for the good which T hope it may have done to suffering humanity by informing them where they could find relief, I should regret having given Dr. Aborn my little testimonial of the 10th January,’for the demands made upon my time in answering inquirfes in regard to him have been more numerous than profitable to me; and_still they come. To eave the necessity for further personal application, let me say to those who care for my opinion that time has only strengthened my first favorable opinion of Dr. Aborn, and my confidence in - THE PERMANENCE OF THE CURE Effected by him. All my difficulty arose from catarrh, which had become of a serious character, affecting the hearing and the throat, giving me at times acute pains and at others rumbling sounds in the ears,’ frequent headaches, and so seriously affecting the bronchial tubes as to sometimes disable me from public speaking. It is all gone, -and the change was produced, not by the absurd practice of putting medicines into the stomach, which was not affected, but by the skillful application of medicinal remedies directly to the parts which were diseased. I have found the Doctor a gentleman iz his intercourse and business, and the judgment that I have formed of him professionally is, that he is a regular physician, thoroughly acquainted with the anatomy of the hu- man body, and possessing a_remarkable degree of skill in the treatment of those diseases which he makes his specialty. CHARLES N. FOX. Lieut.-Governor Holden’s Card. SAN FRANCISCO, April 6, 1870, Having suffered nine or ten years with a throat and bronchial affection, T af plied to Dr. Aborn, at San Francisco, who has treated me for about two months. I feel it my duty to state, for the benefit of those afflicted in like manner, that I found im- mediats and, I think, permanent relief from his treatment, and that I consider his treatment scientific, and that the Doctor is master of his prof>ssion. ‘WM.

ABORN—Dear Sir: I have thought that possibly you might be pleased to know the condition of the little school girl, Mary Morris, whom you treated some months ago at my request, amd who, You will remember, nearly deaf and seri- afflicted with some bronchial trouble when she went to you. She is now en- tirely cured both of deafness and bronchial affection, and declares that she was substantially cured on her first visit to you. She and her parents are very grateful to you, and think it is wholly due to your skill that her hearing and health are re- stored. Yours truly, R. P. CLEMENT, EVIDENCES OF THE PERMANENCY OF DR.
