With spray of ruffled gold before The scarlet tire that round her dies, She sails across the drowsy shore, Along the darkening skies. Here, plunged in hollow, rolling brine, In emerald cradles, rocked and swung, The seepterof the sen is mine, And mine his endless song." If, ns some writer asserts, "the mountains have ever been the home of freedom," yet the seaside has always been the nursery of intellect. The great poels, artists, orators, historians, statesmen and engineers of Europe and America have, with few exceptions, been born and raised within sight and sound of the sea. Those babies who have the good luck to be bora at I.ticndin will, in the next century, be famous, for Lcucadin is to be the home oi many artists and authors, whose children, both with respect to their parents and their "born iv the purple." You cannot overstate the advantages of such a cannot over-boom it. Here it is.

It tnlk-s for itself with voices of health and of beauty; voices of healing and of life; voicesof vigorous ozone and enticing balm; voices of Christmas roses and of oleanders aud lillies blooming in the January Of course it is new; of course it is a little crude in some things; of course the Opera houses arc yet to be built, and the system of sewage yet to be perfected, but if you are inclined to complain of these things just turn to the telegraph column and read "'Chicago, November. thermometer at the Signal Service otlice this morning registered 30degrees below zero. A Minnesota zephyr is approaching at the rate of 80 miles hour." Then, again, we will have the Opera Houses and mansions aud drives very soon, and we never will have the blizzards or the snow. A blind man ought to be able to sec tliat the tide of growth here will be like that of the Pontic sea, which "ne'er knows returning ebb." have an exceedingly rich aud prosperous sixty and wealth has accumulated since the Wat even in greater ratio thnn the population. Money is a drug at per cent, per annum.

There are more people in the United States this day who are able to live upon their incomes, than there are in Great Britain, Germany or Kussia. These people have filled Florida With costly only for three or four months in the year, and they have lined the Atlantic sea-coast with summer cities, where tlie hotels aud cottages are from October until June. They are now coming here and in five years there will be houses facing the sea, withiu a stone's throw of each other, ull the way from Santa Monica to San Diego bay. Aud of all these miles of coast no place presents so many attractions as Leueadia. Tlie beach in front of it is better than nt any other point, for the water shoals very slowly and the surf is very light, and for driving purposes there is not Biieh a bench on the coast.

It is a twenty-mile track iv perfect condition, swept and sprinkled aud graded by tide twice each day, aud the tide is the best und most economical superintendent of ronds iv the country. An abundant of water for nil purposes will be piped nlong every avenue, and tlie little city will, withiu a season or two, be embowered in foliage. Lcucndiu is about twothirds of the way to Sau Diego by the uew road of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company, and will command the trade of the rich valleys adjacent. There is only one other such place as Leueadia in the world. It 1b a little city on the Mediterranean, at the foot of the Alps, called Mentone.

Sain Cox immortalized the spot in his "Search for Winter and at Mentone the conditions are not aB perfect as ut Leueadia, for once in a while the "inistrael" sweeps down ou Meutone, and the landlord's coffers arc depleted by the cost of providing Are for the other "coughcrs." (A horrible pun, but all tastes must be consulted.) Ixits in Mentone, 50 feet front, sell for francs. Lots in Leueadia ought to sell at the auction, October 12th, 1887, for $5000 each, but the chances are they will go at a less figure. If you want a home, secure one at Leucadiu. You will never be nble to do better. If you want to invest and earn three or four hundred per cent, advance, here is your chance, for there are plenty rich asthmatics, consumptives and bronchiters and blizzardhaters who will want Leueadia lots by and by, and who will pay any price asked for them; and Nature has limited the supply of such combinations of sen und shore, and soil, and sky, and climate, and their manufacture is not progressing fast enough to muke it likely that the market will be overstocked during this century.

It takes at least one cataclysm to lay the foundations of such a paradise as Leueadia, and about forty thousand years to bleach the mineral salts out of the soil so as to make it fit for orange trees. We want those enterprising people who are here now to get the advantage of preaent prices. We are willing that those who come next year shall pay two or three hundred percent, advance; and they will have to pay it whether we are willing or not. You think this is a boom, do you? WeU, it is hardly the beginning of a boom. People will pour in here during the coming year by the thousands and tens of thousands.

They will i overrun shore and valley and mountain side. AU such town lots as those at Leueadia will be snatched up quickly. Be wise in time and secure some of them while they can tie bought for hundreds. After a while they will sell for thousands. i i THE Combination Land Comp'y.

CATARRH Tliroat Hi'onohitia ASTHMA, CONSUMPTION, TOGETHER WITH DISEASES OF THE EYE, EAR AND HEART Successfully treated M. HILTON WILLIAMS, If, C. s. 0., No. 275 N.

Main Street, LOS ANUELES, A few doors South of the Postotllcc. CATAEEH. rplIK TF.KM CATARRH IS APPLIED TO A J. peculiar disorder of the nostrils and adjacent parts, wbleh to an alarming extent, and is productive of very serious consequences. The most prominent and characteristic feature is a morbid discharge from the head, varying in its nature at difl'erent times.

In some there is an almost constant flow of clear, acrid fluid, but oftenci an offensive, purulent or mucopurulent, greenish-yellow matter is secreted, which accumulates iv the nostrils or drops into the throat, necessitating its frequent removal by blowing the nose or expectoration, and often by both processes. Sometimes patients feel as though their head was in a state of rottenness, so great is the nmouut of matter discharged and so fetid is its odor. The patient is greatly annoyed by the constant dropping into the throat of the morbid matter from the head, aud as a recumbent position naturally favors the (low downward his rest is frequently disturbed from this cause. Many sufferers nre obliged to lio Mth the heud very much elevated in order to sleep with some degree ot comfort. In others a tough, viscid and offensive phlegm behind and above the Boft iralate, in the passage between the throat and head, adhering to the parts with gluish tenacity.

Its lodgment embarrasses respiration and creates a sensation of irritation and uneasiness iv the affected locality, which gives rise to a constant and almost irresistible desire to relieve that discomfort by drawing the mucus into the throat so us to eject it by the mouth. This practice, popularly known as "hawking," is characteristic of catarrh, and proves as embarrassing to the one affected as it is disagreeable to those urouud him. Again, the offensive matter hardens and deposits itself on the membrane In the shape of dry, hard concretions, which are discharged by way of the nostrils or throat in lumps or fragments of a deep green tint. In some cases these incrustations accumulate to such an extent as to form regular plug in the nose, which obstructs breathing and produce serious discomfort. So firmly do these incrustations adhere to the poiut of attachment that their removal usually requires the most violent not unfrequeutly they have to be torn from the membrane.

Occasionally a solid cast of notable size is expelled, on which there are generally traces of blood, but iv some cases the cast presents a tulrulnrappcarance.beingof exact shape of the nasal cavity: This condition is Indicative of ulceration, which, in time, may destroy the bony structure of the nose and produce a subsequent flattening of that organ. Cases ure occasionally met witli in which a thick, viscid, slimy secretion coats the membrane of the nasal cavities and then putrefies, giving rise to a stench which is really overpowering, aud sufficiently fetid to poison tne atmosphere of whole room; and there ure others in which all the secretions of the membrane are suspended, causing an unpleasant feeling of dryness, heat and feverishness iv the head and condition popularly known us "Dry Catarrh." The disease speedily extends to the air cavities of the bones of the forehead and face, giving rise to dist cssing sensation of heavy weight or compression over the forehead, especially iv the region above and between the eyes, and to a feeling of fulness, bent, irritation, soreness or pai in the nostrils near the root of the nose, us well as in the upper part of the throut, above and behind the soft palate. Sometimes there is pain obstinately fixed in some particular part, as in the temple, on the top of the heud, at the buck of the neck, or behind the orbits, and, occasionally, pain manifests itself In the fuce of bo severe a character that it is frequently mistaken for neuralgia. The breath is always tainted, and at times assumes nn exceeding fetid uud sickening odor. In some cases it becomes so revoltiugly offensive ns to render the sufferer an Object of disgust to himself us well as to others.

The nasal nicmbrnne is thickened and ennjested, causing the nose to be stopped up, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other, and often on both, giving rise to a disagreeable, stuffy sensation in the head, and occasioning violent und prolonged of sneezing. The voice is weak, indistinct and husky, or of a nasal character, displaying a sort of sniffing quality, oftentimes there is a continuous noarseucss aud discordance. There is ulso a sense of irritation in the part, and frequent attempts to clear the throat of phlegm, producing the sound "hem," more or less forcibly. In some cases complain of au uncomfortable feeling of fullness, or choky sensation in the throat, and iv others of a distressing and almost constant dryness, for the temporary relief of which they have to swallow frequently. Others; again, speak of a constant bad or nauseous taste in the mouth or throat.

The stomach generally suffers more or less and becomes weak aud irritable: the appetite is capricious and neurly rilwnys baa in the morning. The patient is languid, unable to perform mental or physical labor with the usual facility, is nervous, depressed in spirits, at times fearful, timid, agitated and inclined to drowsiness aud sleep, the memory weakened and permanent impairment seriously threatened. The mucous membrane soon becomes morbidly sensitive to unfavorable influences, and in spite of the utmost care becomes affected from the slightest causes, so that at last a breath of wind upon the lining of the nose or throat becomes productive of a cold, and gives rise to serious disturbances of the respiratory organs. Thus the patient is subject to frequent and repeated colds, each attack aggravating tho disease by giving it a new impulse and involving a larger extent of surface than its predecessor. In this manner the difficulty spreads from organ to organ, invading tne throat, larnyx, trachea and bronchial tubes, until, encroaching further and further, it reaches the finer ramifications of the bronchi, when but a slight impulse Is required to send it to the lungs.

Catarrh may, and often does, affect other organs In the body, especially those containing a mucous membrane, such as the stomach, bowels, kidneys, etc. By the employment of proper inhalations in the form of medicated vapor (not steam or spray) we are able to produce Immediate and direct action upon the discessed surface in the pharynx and nasal passages, for air will find its way Into the most remote and intricate cavities, where it is utterly impossible to make fluid applications. By these means every ease can be cured. Persons desiring treatment by this system of practice can use the remedy at home as well as at our office, and which will cause no inconvenience or hindrance to business whatever. I have secu bo many of these cases cured that I do not consider uny case hopeless unless the disease hus advanced to the chest nnd thut both nre seriously involved.

Kven then the inhalations aid us in dissolving the mucus und in contracting and healing the cavities, which nothing else can do with the same success. The very best references from those already cured. CONSULTATION FREE, Those who to consult with me in regard to their cases had better call at the ofloo for consultation and examination, but, if impossible to do so, can write for a copy of my Medical Treatise, containing a list of questions.
